  • Indiana: Winter Thursday

    Posted on April 6th, 2017 cwmoore No comments

    Wow, whata difference a couple of days make!  It rained most of the pre-dawn hours and through the daybreak and on into the morning.  This is the report I gave to the Amateur Radio “Little Red Barn Net” on 3.820 MHz LSB:

    1. Rain 1.2″
    2. No Snow
    3. Wind 7 mph from NE
    4. Barometer 997.7 mb (29.46″)
    5. 35°F

    Some of you might remember that the Little Red Barn was on radio station WOWO 1190AM.  This station was one of the 10 or so 50,000 watt AM radio station and was a commercial station with emergency communication use when necessary. The LRB was aimed at the rural population of the USA and hosted many farm related broadcasts and some music and audio serials such as The Shadow, Dick Tracy and many others.

    The afternoon brought some rain and snow and high winds of 45 mph gusts.  I spent most of the afternoon in the “Shack” but before that SAM and I went to Angola for lunch at Suttons.  We split a Italian sub of custom meats and cheeses.  After lunch we went to Rural King to look at wind chimes so I could get some ideas for the ones I intend to make.  The first one will be cut for C4 Chord with 5 chimes:  C, E, G, B flat , D.

    Into the evening I looked at a movie called Arrival on Kodi Media Center that I made from a Raspberry Pi 3.  The movie was over hyped I thought and I was a little disappointed but maybe it was too deep for me to comprehend:  Being a technical type it could be I am not sensitive enough to grasp the deeper meaning.  Anyway, I have wanted to watch it for a few months and finall had the time and bandwidth to do it.
