That I'm not getting the "Forbidden" message others say they are getting.As there are complaints about the ability to post here, this is a test message in plain non-unicode ASCII.What did you find out? |

I’m getting the normal slow response as of late.

Just because of slow internet response I am still here. Not going anywhere else for the foreseeable future.

The IRS decided to audit Grandpa and summoned him to the office. The auditor wasn’t surprised when Grandpa showed up with his lawyer. “Sir,” said the auditor, “you claim to live an extravagant lifestyle with no job, supported entirely by gambling winnings. Frankly, the IRS doesn’t buy it.” Grandpa grinned. “I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it. Want a little demonstration?” The auditor smirked. “Alright. Show me.” Grandpa leaned forward. “I’ll bet you a thousand dollars I can bite my own eye.” The auditor looked him over. “That’s impossible. You’re on.” Grandpa popped out his glass eye, chomped it, and the auditor’s jaw hit the floor. “Not bad, huh?” Grandpa chuckled. “Tell you what — I’ll bet you two thousand I can bite my other eye.” The auditor thought hard. Grandpa clearly wasn’t blind. Easy money. “Deal.” Grandpa whipped out his dentures, clamped them on his remaining eye, and grinned while the auditor turned pale. Grandpa was now up three grand. Before the auditor could recover, Grandpa said, “Want to go double or nothing? I’ll bet you six thousand dollars I can stand on one side of your desk, pee into the wastebasket on the other side, and not spill a single drop in between.” The auditor eyed the distance and smiled. “There’s no way you can do that. Bet accepted.” Grandpa unzipped, gave it his best shot… and sprayed all over the auditor’s desk. Not a single drop made it to the wastebasket. The auditor jumped up in triumph. “Ha! Got you this time!” But then he noticed Grandpa’s lawyer burying his face in his hands. “What’s wrong with you?” the auditor asked. The lawyer groaned. “This morning, Grandpa bet me $25,000 that he’d come in here, pee all over your desk… and you’d be happy about it.” Moral of the story: never underestimate old people. |

Well, it's 2026. We always hope the new year will be better than the last one, but i'm not liking our chances for this year- more than likely it's going to be worse than the last one. But we can always hope. Grant Darwin NT |

Well, it's 2026. We can hope, and we can try our best to make it so. Thank you for the new year wished. May it be the best year of your life. |

While plodding around the CPDN fora I came across this recent post: https://main.cpdn.org/forum_thread.php?id=9375#72579 Looks interesting if one has enough space to plant the antenna that is not totally shaded by trees to the south (loud sobbing here, lots of trees to the south).

I at one time I ran those 100 hour plus files. It has been so long ago I don’t remember my log in anymore. So if you will. What is this antenna you mention. I do have a lot of clear south facing real-estate.

You need to follow the link in the CPDN thread for details of all the hardware needed. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Lol. I was interested the same type of radio listening. Just different frequencies and antenna. Same idea just in the shortwave band frequencies using a small telescopic dipole antenna. The project link Rob highlighted is basically about hydrogen line radio astronomy using a project created software program to measure the wanted results. The antenna and associated hardware are discussed in a different video I found but basically the same idea just different software. You just have to download the official project software to participate in it. Using software defined radio as radio telescope

To detect hydrogen in the Milky Way the minimum sized parabolic dish would be about 4 ft and require a very low noise amplifier fitted to the horn. |
