Lots of the old magazines have not been collected and or scanned yet ……

The search operation is ongoing deep inside Iran for a second crew member, according to CBS, the BBC's US partner.

Combat search and rescue (CSAR) missions are considered among the most complex, time-sensitive operations that US and allied militaries prepare for.


Great article, quite educational for me.

Maybe get it archived in wayback machine?

Pages could have been cut ( if written in a bound book) with a small guillotine type machine.

A few years ago , There are auto sheet scanners that scan both sides of pages relatively quickly , like 1 or 2 seconds a sheet, and can do at least 50 pages at once.


Latest is 500 petrol stations around the country are completely dry of ALL types of fuel, petrol, deiseal.

Its a disaster for farmers as it is now crop preparation and/or harvesting time ...


Australia only had reserve of about 30 days petrol.


It would be 1000s of petrol stations, NOW, with at least one type of no petrol now.

Considering on Monday ... The energy minister, Chris Bowen, told federal parliament on Monday that 109 outlets in Victoria had run out of at least one grade of petrol,


Hard drives are amazing technology


Be aware of rain fade. Unit is only rated to operate up to 50 C Hail impact protection for antenna ?


I mean, if you’re planning on using it in Death Valley on a rainy day, sure, you might have some problems. Also it doesn’t brush your teeth for you.


RE "...planning on using it in Death Valley....."

Would be easy for unit to go over 50 C due to combination of heat from the sun and heat generated from the electronics. Where I am, temperatures of 30 C are common - in the shade.


You phrase it like it's some insane requirements, but is asking for an outdoor antenna to survive *rain* such a huge ask?


It’s absolutely fine with rain, even absolutely torrential tropical downpours - from experience - I don’t know what you’re talking about. Has been sat up on my (black) roof for four years now, not a hitch - and it has seen -15 to 45C, snow, rain, wildfire, 1” hail, and it’s fine. Only service interruption we’ve had was when starlink accidentally the entire network for 8 hours or so last year.

Also it doesn’t fold my laundry.


Where I live hailstorms are not unusual. However recent hailstorms often have ice hailstones where up to 3cm diameter (golf ball size) and some locations experience giant hailstones which are above 5cm and bigger. In the most recent storm my car was outside and was "written Off" by insurance company. Every panel of glass destroyer - both front and back windscreens and side windows and mirrors. all metal panels had numerous dents. roof rack bars destroyed too.

It gets signal attenuation from heavy rain. Rain attenuation of certain RF is a well known phenomena.

right, attenuation is particularly bad with Starlink because it operates in the Ku and Ka bands... wavelengths are small enough to be scattered by individual raindrops
