I don't even know what label to apply to this. A Knoxville homeless man wants to complete a 2,000 mile trip to California with his huskies, a folding chair, and a skateboard.
A jack of many hobbies and a master of none - spending lots of time on amateur/ham radio, running, and technology.

Baofeng UV-5R: Teardown
All About Circuits tears down a Baofeng UV-5R:
Via @K0NR
"The radios we took apart for this week's teardown are the UV-5R and the UV-5RB, though there appear to be many products by Baoefang with a similar product designation (UV-5R, UV-5RA, UV-5RB, UV-5RC, UV-5R+, UV-5R V2, etc...). While only the UV-5RB will appear in the following article, the interior layout of the two radios is largely identical. I opened two radios because the UV-5RB that I initially tore down had multiple integrated circuits with illegible or completely absent top-side markings."Circuit drawings and other info at the link.

I can tell you why - stupid "Almonds in every bite!" It's unnatural.

An interesting idea... he appears to be using some sort of paper based communications system.

UTK, NASA, and Ham Radio
Funny how themes sometimes appear on my radar...
"NASA chose UT as its winner, which will give the UT Amateur Radio Club time for a one-on-one chat with space station Mission Commander Shane Kimbrough."

Game of Thrones - Risk!
This is perfect... Game of Thrones version of Risk. I never played the board game version, but I remember several of us gathered around a computer in the early 90's to play on someone's Mac in the dorm.
