#Android of Sherwood (episode)

[inspectorspacetimerevisited]

The writers made a very scary point when the androids of ‘The Androids of Sherwood Forest’ killed with lasers in the shape of crosses.

Ultimate Doctor Who Poll Round 2 - Matchup 16

Episode Summaries under the cut

62: Robot of Sherwood - Season 8, Episode 3: Clara wants to meet Robin Hood, so the Doctor takes her back to prove he doesn't exist. Right as they land Robin Hood appears and shoots the TARDIS with an arrow, and challenges the Doctor to a duel, which the Doctor wins. Robin brings them back to his camp, where the Doctor refuses to believe they are all real, and insists they must be androids or something. At an archery contest, the Doctor, Clara, and Robin are captured by robotic knights lead by the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Clara is taken for questioning and learns the the Sheriff has possession of a fallen spaceship and has been collecting gold to repair it's circuitry, then plans to take over London. They fight and Robin kills the Sheriff, but his arm is injured. They find that the ship is taking off, but due to the damage, will explode. They take a golden arrow from the archery contest and shoot the ship, giving it enough thrust to make it to the atmosphere and explode harmlessly.

67: The Runaway Bride - 2006 Christmas Special: During her wedding, Donna Noble is mysteriously teleported into the TARDIS. The Doctor tries to take her back to her wedding and figure out what happened in the first place. Robots attempt to kidnap her and attack the reception, so the Doctor investigates her place of work with her fiancé. In the basement the Doctor finds a spider-like alien called the Racnoss, who has been working with Donna's fiancé, Lance, to poison her with ancient particles that drew her to the TARDIS.

The Racnoss eggs were buried deep in the Earth's core and contain these same type of ancient particles, so the intention was to use Donna as a living key to bring them back, but the Racnoss and her children would then consume the Earth. The Doctor manages to let water from the Temps into the building, flooding the tunnel to the core and killing the Racnoss and her eggs. He begins to get carried away, but Donna pulls him out of it and he escapes with her. He offers for her to travel with him, but she declines.

More impressions from Connor’s first Labor Day:

Apparently Detroit was testing the first weather machine this year, because while it was raining cats and dogs in Sherwood, Downtown had sunny weather.

Connor took his teens to the exclusive Stargazer Lounge high up CyberLife tower, adding their entrance fees to his expense list. Neither they nor the RK800 was allowed in the VIP area, though.

When they returned to Sherwood, Amy got some divine payback for her Petrus joke from this morning:

And then Connor’s last festival in August ended the same as the first had: With a sad, lonely firework in the rain. It was time to say goodbye to Sherwood precinct and the Not So Merry Men.

The android returned to CyberLife tower, to get reset and receive his new instructions. Most of Connor’s episodic memories from August 16 to August 31 vanished that night, and with that the names of the five teenagers he had guided. Only the expertise his advanced A.I. had gathered in various areas remained.

And with that we’ll jump back into the present next post.

The FCC is Not Reinstating a Vanity Call Sign Fee

An erroneous report this week suggested that the FCC planned to again impose an Amateur Radio vanity call sign application (regulatory) fee of $70 for the 10-year term. This incorrect conclusion resulted from an incomplete reading of the May 7 FCC Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the matter of the assessment and collection of regulatory fees for fiscal year 2019.

Although the Schedule of Regulatory Fees does show a $7 annual fee for Amateur Radio vanity call signs, a boldface heading in that section of the NPRM states, “REGULATORY FEES. This section is no longer is effect as it has been amended by RAY BAUM’S Act of 2018…” Section 9(e)(2) of RAY BAUM’S Act gives the Commission discretion to exempt a party from paying regulatory fees when the FCC determines that the cost of collection exceeds the amount collected. A new section 9(e)(1) incorporated the Amateur Radio vanity fee exemption from FCC rules into the statute.

The NPRM makes clear in several other places that regulatory fees no longer apply to Amateur Radio licenses. The FCC eliminated the regulatory fee for Amateur Radio vanity call signs in 2015.

  PUB CHAT

Janine Rinker emailed: “Hi Marc, I started looking for celtic music online because my philosophy professor claimed that Irish music is mainly drinking and fighting songs (it isn't all...).  Anyway, after listening to the same songs by the same groups several times I got the idea of just skipping several pages of search and found your music.

I generally listen to your pubsongs podcast when I'm typing homework of some sort (I'm an adjunct professor at a community college, and something of a chronic student), although sometimes I'm playing games on Facebook instead.  You've gotten my family watching Firefly, and I gave some of your CD's as a Christmas gift to a friend who likes cats, but doesn't have any of her own anymore. Thanks for the bonus Christmas CD's you sent.

If you're not familiar with them, let me suggest Woods Tea Company and Cahill Dunne as other groups whose music you might want to play.  Both have some songs where the audience is encouraged to sing the chorus. Woods Tea Company has a variety of songs, but "This Side of the Sea" is an album specifically of Irish music.  Cahill Dunne is an Irishman who married an American. He plays piano, and sings a variety of styles of music, including traditional Irish, comedy and Western songs.

I really enjoy the variety of music on your podcast and listening to your adventures.”

James H. emailed: "Hi Marc –Thanks for sending me the freebies!  I’m listening to Star of County Down, but not sure how to download the songs.  I can usually right click and “Save Target As”, however, that’s only saving the HTM (file location).  Is it only intended to listen on my computer?

We live in Modesto California.  We’re Christian Baptists and our church is in Stockton.

I found you through my android podcast player, although most of my regular podcasts are on my iPhone.  I like to bring my tablet (android) on long trips to visit my daughters in college in Southern California.

My wife and daughters all play violin and my daughters played (still one daughter in it) the Modesto Youth Symphony Orchestra; they have played concerts in Canada, Austria and Czech Republic.  My oldest LOVES anything Celtic and would probably want to live in Ireland.

My dad’s side of the family is from County Cork and Clare County.  My mom’s side came over on the Mayflower.

Thanks again I’m enjoying your podcast!"

Albert D emailed: "Hello Marc, I love your shows, I love your music. Keep up the great work. That’s awesome that the next few months are looking busier than you’ve been in years. LONG overdue. Congratulations and good luck. Could you please tell me what “coffee with the Celtfather” is all about? Thank you for your time. Peace be with you, God bless you, go in peace."

Allan Marcotte emailed: “Marc,I heard you singing Kilty Pleasure about taking pride in your Scottish heritage and wearing of the kilt. I am not of Scot or Irish descent but the song spoke to me.  My Dad was an American of French Canadian extraction but my Mom was German from the old country, she came to this country about 4 years before I was born. Growing up I was aware of my French Canadian heritage but I was very aware my German heritage.  I listened to traditional German music and still do though I don't speak the lingo and understand all the songs. My diet is heavily influenced by German cooking, I even make my own sauerkraut from scratch. It becomes very prominent at Christmas, the tradition of celebrating Advent, the visit from St Niklaus on 6 December and to me there is nothing prettier than Silent Night sung in German.  Looking forward to the new album.”

The scene where the Inspector managed to split Robin Hood’s arrow during the archery contest was amazing,

but when the target exploded, it was hilarious.

Despite (or perhaps because of) his tendency towards ham and cheese,

fans cheered Robin Hood when he appeared in ‘Android of Sherwood’.

The FCC is Not Reinstating a Vanity Call Sign Fee

An erroneous report this week suggested that the FCC planned to again impose an Amateur Radio vanity call sign application (regulatory) fee of $70 for the 10-year term.

ARRL Invites Applications for Volunteer Monitor Positions

ARRL is now accepting applications from individuals interested in becoming part of the new Volunteer Monitor program, a joint undertaking of ARRL and the FCC. The program seeks volunteers who — working under the direction of ARRL — will monitor and survey the Amateur Radio bands both to detect improper activity and to recognize exemplary on-the-air behavior.

Prospective Volunteer Monitors must be ARRL members. They will undergo a training and certification program administered by ARRL, and will be vetted by ARRL through at least one oral interview and a preliminary evaluation by ARRL staff. Such requirements will continue for Volunteer Monitors once they are selected.

Volunteer Monitors will serve 3-year terms at the pleasure of ARRL, and ARRL will reserve the right to terminate the participation of any Volunteer Monitor for any reason.

Volunteer Monitors must be able to utilize state-of-the-art receiving equipment and to access no-cost remote receive sites, if requested. Applicants must possess strong writing and communication skills and an understanding of the importance of thorough documentation. They must have basic word processing and data entry skills and be able to send such information, including recordings, to ARRL electronically.

Applicants must have no history of warning letters or other enforcement-related action from the FCC, must hold a Technician or higher license class, and must have been licensed for at least 3 years.

Applicants should send a copy their applications to their Section Manager (see page 16 in any recent issue of QST for a complete list of Section Managers and their contact information). 

In February, Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, was named to oversee the development and implementation phases of the Volunteer Monitor program, which will replace the Official Observers (OO) program. Hollingsworth once handled Amateur Radio enforcement for the FCC.

Palstar AT2KD Review & How to Use a Differential Antenna Tuner

“Jarrad VK3BL reviews Palstar’s AT2KD and talks about the advantages of having a large, high powered tuner even if you only run barefoot. Additionally, Jarrad demonstrates on multiple bands how to find a match for your antenna, even if you have never tuned that antenna before or have any reference points to start from. We hope you enjoy the review of Palstar, the overview of antenna tuner principles, and the full demonstration of how to find a match from scratch! 73, Jarrad VK3BL

” 

The Palstar AT2KD antenna tuner covers 6 to 160 Meters with a power rating of up to 2000 watts PEP and is identical in all respects to the AT2K except instead of three controls, the tuner features just two to tune your antenna.

The AT2KD matches dipoles, center fed doublets, Verticals, end-fed wire, delta loops, beams, Windoms, Inverted V’s and an optional external 4:1 or 1:1 current balun for balanced wire feeders can be purchased during check-out.
