How cool is this? Jeff Bezos started a "club" to generate interest in space.

The first idea is to receive a postcard from space. +++ Details HERE +++ NOTE: You DON'T have to join the club to participate.

Wow Jim! This is really cool! I just heard today about he and others privately funding space activities. He is also looking to colonize the moon; and is schedule to start some of that within 5 years.

It's exciting times, AGAIN. I love this kind of thing as it tends to focus on what marvelous things humans CAN do.

Thanks for sharing. I was unaware of this.

Well, if you were a Ham Radio operator, you could talk to space and get postcards from there too. The ISS does both.

(Not that I've ever done either)

Yes. QSL cards come from around the world and space too. As a Ham, you also have space satellites for 'ham access'. Hams can also learn how to and then get to bounce signals off the moon back to earth and much more.


As an amateur radio operator I learned how to; build a kit that removed vocals from records back in the late 1970's early 1980's before commercial units were widely available or affordable and way prior to the software options available now. I learned how to modify a ordinary baby monitor (not the video monitors in use today, but an audio baby monitor) into a composite video transmitter with a range about 1/4-1/2 mile. How to convert an ordinary VCR or DVD into a audio/video transmitter. How to design and build super hi-gain transmitters normally used for surveillance. (this was not directly related to Amateur Radio). How to service and repair Ham equipment and CB radios. How to capture and decode Weather satellite data. I learned how to capture and decode FM radio station subcarrier frequencies. In the past, clients such as Muzak used these FM subcarriers to transmit their programming wirelessly to commercial decoder boxes installed in retail businesses for background music. This led to learning how to tap a dish satellite signal and break out sideband and subcarrier signals. I also enjoyed broadcasting and more so, receiving short wave amateur and commercial radio.

Very cool, Charlie, are you still active?

I also have my amateur radio licence (VA3KAB), although I haven’t been active for a couple of years.

Not very active for the last few years although I just renewed my license this month (KV4AV) and with all of the summer tourists that will be coming, may get back on 2 meters. The antenna farm is down since all our recent hurricanes. wink

KW4BT.

I mostly play around on 2 meters and 70cm with an occasional bout on 220. My HF rig was fun, but I think it needs repair. It's a side line back burner hobby for me.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
