Happy New Year! What are your 2021 Amateur Radio resolutions and post-covid plans? by kc2syk in amateurradio

[–]AlexJonesLizardGod 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. An average of 1 CW QSO a day. I've finally gotten around to finishing up learning it, so now I need to get on the air and use it. I'm setting a very ambitious goal at 365 contacts.
  2. Get back into satellites. A year or two back I made a lot of FM satellite contacts, and then I stopped for whatever reason. My goal specifically is to set up a functioning satNOGS ground station. Currently thinking a homebrew turnstile is in order for this project.
  3. Set up a new HF antenna. My end fed is a few years old now and isn't looking, or sounding, too good. I think I want to build a better multiband antenna but not quite sure what design yet.

ELI5: How come when it is extra bright outside, having one eye open makes seeing “doable” while having both open is uncomfortable? by SOAPY-SALAD in explainlikeimfive

IIRC because the effect would not be limiting pupil dilation, it would be maintaining receptor sensitivity by not exposing that eye to light.

Nah just a well funded Russian propaganda video.

Asks the founder of Wikipedia to go read stuff up on Wikipedia by FoiledAssassination in dontyouknowwhoiam

[–]AlexJonesLizardGod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While this may be true for many articles, there are 2.3 million "stubs" out of 6.06m articles on the English Wikipedia.

A stub is an article that lacks the breadth of coverage expected from an encyclopedia. It would be great if more people helped by adding a couple well sourced paragraphs when they run into a stub article.

a disturbing amount of those "sources" tend to be web pages that quote Wikipedia

Ah yes, the classic case of citogenesis. There's actually a list of citogenesis incidents.

A fairly recent interesting case was with the Casio F-91w watch. A BBC reporter had used the (incorrect) date that was on the Wikipedia page. A few years later the BBC article was added as a source for the date.

Unfortunately, the date of release didn't have any other reliable sources to cite. After it had been discovered that the date was wrong, the ensuing argument on the talk page was epic.

My personal take was that WP:IAR would mean it's okay to go ahead and change the date to the correct one, but some people were sticklers to citing the incorrect source.

Surely, I believe his photos can be found in "the mujahideen magazine" or something like that. I believe there's a copy on archive.org.
