Actually, we're allowed anything up to 200' without anyone's permission, unless the structure is near an airport, or presents a hazard to others. Few people build their own radios anymore - sadly - but our equipment is quite advanced. Google on the ICOM IC-7300 I just purchased and check its specs; quite impressive. And my handheld, a Kenwood TH-D74A, is capable of reaching anywhere in the world if there's a network path available, using digital modes invented by Hams. It's going to keep me entertained for years, just figuring out what all those buttons do, and what menus lie behind them.

Congrats, I have a friend that just made Tech and he said the Extra is a bitch.

I may have had a small edge, Mike. Your friend probably doesn't have 40+ years' experience as and electrical and electronics engineer.

Nice!
Did you do this with a State Machine, or something more complex?

It's unfortunately more complicated than that. It can be in several states at once so I couldn't use a state machine, though that was my initial idea

and I thought this was interesting. So I thought I would post it as a CCC for the crazy people here who can figure them out (and create them).
It seems that twelve plus one equals thirteen is true. (6,4,3)

A good one! I met it a couple of years ago in a slightly different form, so I'll clam up for now. (Besides I have to dream up the real one for tomorrow.)

I have a feeling that was used as an actual CCC not so long ago. Or did I dream it?

Not that I recall but I could be wrong. (Don’t let my wife know I said that!)

Whether it was a CCC or not, it is certainly one that I have seen before in another context, and it is quite surprising.

That’s what I thought too!

Baby's first birthday party: 14 adults fined £800 each[^]
The UK is on lockdown, but that doesn't apply to my baby. How did the police know where to go? They hung party banners outside the house ...

The biggest threat seems to be from those infected that are asymptomatic ... and those numbers are huge (apparently).
I think most don't even know what asymptomatic means. And of course: "children are immune" (Not).
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

Yes, but you might be able to set the penalty for stupid to be forced sterilization, so that society doesn't have to watch for your stupid kids. I wouldn't support that, since stupid seems to be self-curing. But with the current administration here in the Colonies, I won't be surprised to see some such solution proposed.

The problem is that their definition of congenital stupidity and yours probably differ on almost every point. But that is verging to close to politics...

Justice would require that they fine the baby for being 1 year old, thereby being the reason for the party.

On that topic, I don't really get the tradition of British media to do the best they can to identify the culprit for everyone, short of naming them.
