The fantastic thing with both amateur radio and the internet is that you make new good friends all over the globe. A couple of my amateur radio friends have started a new blog http://www.masteroscillator.info with a lot of interesting things, especially when it comes to homebrew equipment. Have a look for yourself!
Oswald Chambers: “My Utmost for His Highest”
Just recently I have discovered the wonderful works of Mr Oswald Chambers (1874-1917), and especially his classic daily devotional: “My Utmost for His Highest“. Just take a look for yourself:

Statement
One thing that makes me angry, furious, sick and tired is when media talks/writes about “ethnic tension” or “ethnic clashes” when it is in fact no less than a slaughtering of innocent people. It can be about what happened in Rwanda 1994, Bosnia 1995 or what is happening now in Northern Nigeria, Iraq, Syria or Eastern Africa. When Boko Haram is burning a village in Northern Nigeria and butchering its inhabitants with machetes it is definitely not a question of “ethnic tension” but slaughtering of innocent men, women and children.
And next year is 2015. If you don’t get my message today, you will probably be reminded by then…
Numbers Stations
A wonderful and authoritative compilation of recordings of spy numbers stations on shortwave. (See also my own recordings in other posts in my blog.)

Fishing for Grayling
Jämtland, Sweden, July 30, 2014.
For many years I have said to my patients that when I get retired I going to be a flyfisher. But, things happened this summer:
For the first time in eight years we went to the Northern Swedish province of Jämtland on holiday.
I caught a couple of Grayling on lure.
In an outlet-store I found a flyfishingset for about €45.
I tried to flyfish at my favorite stream but it ended up in so called dead casts…
When we returned home I consulted YouTube and found some wonderful videos with the Masters, Mel Krieger and Christopher Rownes.
Now I am looking forward to next summer…
Pelikan 400
Some pictures of my sixty years old classic Pelikan 400, green striped. This is one of the iconic pens in the history of writing instruments. (It is still made today, with a bit more “bling”, under the name Pelikan M400.) For this particular pen I have a one-pen original Pelikan leather case in green and black. When writing letters I am mostly using this pen…
