Liberty-Net---sea-towerby Kevin Strom, WB4AIO

NOW THAT Spring is looming on the horizon, we need to be aware that thunderstorm-related static will soon be a major factor on the 75 meter band — making the signal-to-noise ratio much worse than in wintertime. So this is a good time to improve your antenna system and make it maximally effective, especially since the year’s most pleasant weather for working outdoors will soon be at hand.

• There’s at least one good thing about the election season — it sets up millions of people for total disillusionment when their “heroes” turn out to be cynical liars or money-puppets or both. And a good dose of disillusionment can lead to healthy radicalization. (48 minutes)

• It’s hard to believe that anyone could work up any enthusiasm whatsoever for dead-fish Israel-lobby-owned phony-religious-nut Ted Cruz. (52 minutes)
