The sun turns black,
                    earth sinks in the sea,
The hot stars down
                    from heaven are whirled;
Fierce grows the steam
                    and the life-feeding flame,
Till fire leaps high
                    about heaven itself.

[Sól tér sortna,
                    sígr fold í mar,
hverfa af himni
                    heiðar stjǫrnur;
geisar eimi
                    við aldnara,
leikr hár hiti
                    við himin sjálfan.]

Poetic Edda (800-1100) Old Norse anonymous collection of poems

Hört mich jemand auf dieser QRG? Mein Zeit-Transceiver hat kaum noch Saft.

HÖRT ZU: Werft eure Geräte nicht weg! Wenn die große Server-Kernschmelze von 2032 kommt, ist HF die einzige Rettung. Das Internet ist nur eine Modeerscheinung!

Lernt CW! Es wird die Währung der Zukunft sein. Bewahrt die Röhren-Endstufen auf, die Transistoren halten dem EMP nicht stand!

QTH: Neu-Baunatal (Untergrund) 73 und viel Glück.
