Hmm. What are you up to, G-WKTO?
Today I quite enjoyed listening to London VTS. The radio was playing it whilst I was in a Teams meet by so people were perplexed about the other people interjecting in the conversation. I think I need to devise a way of giving an audio feed it’s own Teams instance so they can join the meetings properly.
Of all the actors I really enjoyed, the best was Laurence Fishburne playing Del Spooner’s grandmother in I, Robot (2004)
Why do I have so many #trumpet #mouthpieces?
I should stick with one or two and concentrate on them.
Blast. I managed to drop my pocket trumpet and put a small, soft dent in the bell bow. Grr.
Still, it’s not a major dent and the purpose of this trumpet was to use it to practice and cart around so I don’t damage my fancy horn but it’s still irritating. #clumsy
Off to the data centre to see what has happened…
I spent a while wondering if I should take a scanner for the marine VHF stuff where I’m going but I think I have avoided that one. It still feels strange.
Going away for a few days and for the first time in many years I’m not taking any amateur radio kit with me. What I am taking is a pocket trumpet, SilentBrass mute and the pieces I’m working on for the next grade exam.
Yesterday morning I managed a QSO with Australia with 2W of FT4 on 20m. I was very pleased.
People listening to their earphones in Starbucks probably shouldn’t be singing out loud? #ianduryandtheblockheads
