I think we should brainstorm a term like ‘queening out’ but for when you feel fierce and elderly. Like when I put on my reading glasses I’m literally olding out. Maybe that’s not the word I’m looking for. Aging out

For An Anarchist Radio Relay League
A free zine about amateur radio for anarchists.
For an Anarchist Radio Relay League (0.24.1.1)
For an Anarchist Radio Relay League (0.24.1.1) -booklet
However, in a time when the United States government is fighting tooth and nail for the preservation of its own legitimacy while simultaneously eviscerating community services by way of privatization (Health Care, Postal Service, Public Land, Public schools, you name it), it is as important for the anti-authoritarian Working Class to learn about the science and art of radio communication as it is to learn how to grow food and shoot straight. (read "Factories, Fields, and the Firearms to Defend Them" by Hybachi LeMar )
In fact, in October of 2020, Ajit Pai's* FCC** ordered amateur access to the 3.5GHz band to be "sunset" (http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-orders-amateur-access-to-3-5-ghz-band-to-sunset ) so that the frequency space can be sold to private companies to expand the new 5G mobile network. While this isn't exactly disastrous for anyone other than a specific sub-set of Hams***, it is par for the course for this early half of the 21st Century that the government would sell off public property to the highest bidder so that private companies can sell it back to "Consumers" and lock poor people out of access to something as ubiquitous as air or water. Sound familiar? (https://iaffaiorg.wordpress.com/2020/10/11/skills-for-revolutionary-survival-5-communications-equipment-for-rebels/)

On Feb. 22, a lunar lander named Odysseus touched down near the moon's South Pole and popped out four antennas to record radio waves around the surface—a moment University of Colorado Boulder astrophysicist Jack Burns hails as the "dawn of radio astronomy from the moon." It was a major achievement for the tenacious lander, which was built by the Houston-based company Intuitive Machines and had to overcome a series of technical difficulties to make it to the lunar surface. Burns is co-investigator on the radio experiment that flew aboard Odysseus called Radio wave Observations at the Lunar Surface of the photo Electron Sheath (ROLSES). He'll give an update on the ROLSES data, and will share what's in store for future radio astronomy from the moon, this week at the 244th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Madison, Wisconsin.

The Radio Sky: Tuned to 408MHz - November 26th, 1996.
"Tune your radio telescope to 408MHz (408 million cycles per second) and check out the radio sky! In the 1970s, large dish antennas at three radio observatories, Jodrell Bank, MPIfR, and Parkes Observatory, were used to do just that - the data was combined to map the entire sky. Near this frequency, cosmic radio waves are generated by high energy electrons spiraling along magnetic fields. In the resulting false-colour image, the galactic plane runs horizontally through the center, but no stars are visible. Instead, many of the bright sources near the plane are distant pulsars, star forming regions, and supernova remnants, while the grand looping structures are pieces of bubbles blown by local stellar activity. External galaxies like Centaurus A, located above the plane to the right of the center, and the LMC (below and right) also shine in the radio sky."

That phone - yes, the one in your hand, or perhaps your pocket - works by radio waves.
Yes, I'm back with more ramblings about all the ways humans use the electromagnetic spectrum! Because turns out, you're rather reliant on it.
Phones - mobile phones, anyway - use radio waves to connect to each other (it's more complicated than direct phone-to-phone communication but the radio waves are the important part today!). Your wifi is also radio waves. GPS is also radio waves. I probably don't even need to look it up to tell you a radio is radio waves, but I did and they do.
So, humans communicate with each other and locate themselves by waving, in a way. I like that.
If I get stuff wrong, please correct me politely - I don't know very much yet, but I love hearing cool facts! Thank you -Gentle

Battery-free technology can power electronic devices using ambient radiofrequency signals
Ubiquitous wireless technologies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 5G rely on radio frequency (RF) signals to send and receive data. A new prototype of an energy harvesting module—developed by a team led by scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS)—can now convert ambient or "waste" RF signals into direct current (DC) voltage. This can be used to power small electronic devices without the use of batteries. RF energy harvesting technologies, such as this, are essential as they reduce battery dependency, extend device lifetimes, minimize environmental impact, and enhance the feasibility of wireless sensor networks and IoT devices in remote areas where frequent battery replacement is impractical. However, RF energy harvesting technologies face challenges due to low ambient RF signal power (typically less than -20 dBm), where current rectifier technology either fails to operate or exhibits a low RF-to-DC conversion efficiency. While improving antenna efficiency and impedance matching can enhance performance, this also increases on-chip size, presenting obstacles to integration and miniaturization.

What do you think Overhaul and Radio Waves would make?
Quirk Marriage between Overhaul and Radio Waves please 🥺
New Quirk Name: Radio Star
This Emitter type Quirk allows the user to detect, control, and alter artificial electrical signals within a long range of themselves. This control is precise and refined, able to intercept or alter any sort of radio signal traveling through the air, such as spoofing enemy messages or sending a specific one to a nearby phone. This can let the user influence technology as well by influencing how and where the signals move. This can let the user change how the electronics function as well, like misfiring a signal in a car to make it go backwards instead of forwards. This gives the user a dangerous power, allowing them to control the signals around them to undermine their foes. They can disrupt enemy communications, cause malfunctions in technology, side out hidden codes and messages to their allies, bypass electronic devices like car locks, influence technology in their favor, cause immense chaos with large-scale breakdowns and blackouts, or simply turn their own hands as a universal remote for all of their electronics. Though this only works on artificial electrical signals, the power is less useful in areas with little to no technology, and they cannot change the function of the device. The usage of this Quirk is dependent on the user's hands and will require some finesse in order to properly change in the signals.

my assistant has been out of office for the last 2 weeks due to the holidays, just a reminder that you have an appointment tomorrow at 2 p.m. don’t be late. - @miserydemon
also i need you to look at my walkman again please. i think it broke again 😔
tomorrow?? fuck me. i did forget 😵💫 and i can’t even ask to reschedule without feeling bad for your poor battered walkman. sighs.
okayyy i’ll see you then. brace yourself though because it’s been a Weird Ass Month
#are you ever gonna let me find a better walkman for you or do you plan to hold onto that thing until you die#or. dematerialize or decorporealize or whatever it is demons do#miserydemon#atlas#radio waves

Planet UFO – magnetic fields and radio waves
At last a game about UFO sausage itself. By the way, you are flying at the planet, where these UFO are living. Planet is fantastic. Surface of the planet is pink and green. And it is creating an objects. With a form of spheres, squares and rectangles. It is something like trees or mountains. But, it is something another, its own.
There is a very strong magnetic field at this planet, And strong radio waves. They make a their own structures. Whole oceans. And events at this fantastic planet. It is something like Solaris. Planet ocean. But another way. Magnetic field is very strong here, and it is like some force of nature at this planet and it forms a whole islands, for example. Out of radio waves. And radio waves – can make a whole ocean. Such a fantastic ideas. Of a strange planet. The planet, where UFO sausage is living.
Game itself it is a pseudo three dimensional flight at the UFO sausage. With CGA style colors. About 4 colors. You can turn left and right. To avoid objects. Circles and squares. They are with black color. Background of surface is moving with different speed. More speed higher for background- more intense it has a magnetic field, It is the idea.
Magnetic field can be 1.8 – it is small magnetic field, slow move. And it can be big strong field. It is 0.3 parameter of background. Background moves with most big speed in this game.
And you are flying and avoiding obstacles. This is the idea. To flight a certain distance. As in a learning book about math class. From point A to point B.
Distance is at the right part of the screen. And a the left - it is your energy. Levels are described with a fantastic conditions. Parameters of field, distance. In such fantastiс terms. And even there is – standalone theme of game – it is map of the planet. Pink planet. With white lines. Intense of field. Radio waves. Don’t forget, that there is no else thing at this planet. Two powers are active here, and they form everything. It is radio waves and magnetic field. They are, of course, not like a the planet Earth. And some fantastic.
There are descriptions for these regions of the planet. Total 42 regions. It is 42 episodes. They have 1 or several levels. Maximum it is 4 levels for a region. For more interest they are separated for 8 zones. Zone s are goes about higher and higher intense of magnetic field. You select region. And next - to read description of a region you select. Number of levels. And length of them. And something else. Power of the field.
Game is a retro science fiction theme. Strange, maybe. Regions – there are lots of them. It is a big planet giant. It is rotation somewhere in a depth of space. And from those space, UFO sausages are flying.
Game has some feature. It is main menu. You make a selection of game mode. F1 – normal mode. F2 – extended mode. Mainly, it is similar. But, simply, in extended mode, it is drawn square of a UFO sausage, hitbox, and two lines along the screen. For easier navigation. Just like you inside of UFO turn on some options. And something to indicate at the screen, as additional information.
Videogame, it is fourth, in a game plan TRIA. Final. In this plan. And as I finish it, I will start to prepare 4 new games for publish. Plan TRIA is going to its final.
Program part and overview description
Videogame is written with programming language QB64. It is modern version of QBasic. Game use 4 colors, that do imitation of colors MS DOS CGA. Pseudo three dimensional about way of movement. Something like arcade. Maybe, a game about – just to have a relax. Fly at some distance. Turn left or right. And do not crash into game objects – squares and circles. Game is with science fiction theme. There are texts and description of the planet.
Development state
So, for this time, I pay attention to decoration for the game. I do programming for menus with planet map. And it has lots of text. I create all these Sci Fi theme. With descriptions. And someway decorate the menus. In a pink color. I need to check, that everything works. And, maybe, to make menus more interesting. Maybe, to draw a picture with UFO sausage. And, mainly, - it is everything done!
It is, already, game number four in development plan TRIA. So, as soon as I finish this one. I will prepare all the things. And publish 4 new games in terms of new version of pack Basic Pascal.
This game will be released in terms of new version Basic Pascal Pack games. This game and some more games will be in a new version Basic Pascal Pack. As soon as I will have several complete games. All of them will to be in a new version Basic Pascal Pack. And a new version Basic Pascal Pack will be published for download.
Basic Pascal pack - whole pack of games and programes, written with basic and pascal. It is retro. With each game and program there is a page at author`s website. There are aditional information, descriptions, pictures, arts.

The very lowest frequencies of the radio Universe have just been revealed in spectacular clarity. A team of astronomers has used a new calibration technique to give us the first sharp images of the radio Universe in the frequency range of 16-30 megahertz – an achievement previously thought impossible, due to the turbulent interference generated by Earth's ionosphere. "It's like putting on a pair of glasses for the first time and no longer seeing blurred," says astronomer Christian Groeneveld of Leiden University in the Netherlands, who led the research. Seeing the Universe with radio eyes presents some interesting challenges at the best of times.
