I won a book. On the right is the 13th edition of the #Rothammel Antenna Book. This is THE antenna book here in Germany; every amateur radio operator I know has at least one copy of it. Almost 1,500 pages of concentrated knowledge.
On the left, for comparison, is my old copy (10th edition, published 1984 by the Military Publishing House of the GDR).
Thanks to DARC-Verlag and the HF-Department of the DARC!

It is 1994 and you want to receive images from the NOAA weather sat. This guy here relives the experience, including a old DOS machine and custom made hardware. Neat!

Nice little video about SOTA/GMA activities in my area. The shown action on 2m and above is a local activity called "Sächsischer Bergwettbewerb".

Mike KnellI used to enjoy joking 30 years ago that amateur radio events were fun because my presence dragged down the average age of the participants. Wasn’t really expecting to be still making the same joke at 52.
