Send us Fan MailA robot gets sworn in as a monk, NASA supposedly drops 12,000 Artemis II photos that are strangely hard to track down, and scientists argue over how fast the universe is expanding. That’s the kind of headline mix we can’t ignore, so we talk it through the only way we know how: one topic at a time, with questions, a little humor, and a strong urge to separate facts from hype. Before the “crazy news,” we catch up on the real world stuff that shapes everything else: allergies, mowing season, and a full ham radio update from the backyard. Bruce breaks down an HF antenna rebuild attempt, why noise can ruin an otherwise decent SWR reading, and why an off center fed dipole can be a practical win when conditions get frustrating. We also nerd out on podcast audio, including SM58 mic tweaks, EQ adjustments, and a windscreen experiment aimed at a deeper, cleaner sound. Then we get to our earthquake report and weather check, share a new baseline method for tracking weekly seismic activity, and talk simple preparedness like keeping extra water and food on hand. We close with infrasound research that may explain paranormal experiences, reactions to UFO file releases, and concerns about data centers and the bigger AI infrastructure buildout, plus a reminder to stay prayerful and positive even when the news feels heavy. If any of this hits a nerve, listen through, share the episode with a friend, and leave us a review or message so we know what you want us to dig into next.Support the show I hope you enjoy the show!  If you find value in our show,Come back, and tell a friend.
