Ham Radio Operator’s Manual of Operating

The National Radio Retransmission Legion (NRRL) will release next week an updated version of it’s popular “Ham Radio Operator’s Manual of Operating.” This edition will be a departure from its usually highly technical subject matter. Instead, the NRRL says the authors decided to “get back to the basics.”

Purgatory

Methodists make up for our lack of purgatory with an abundance of committees and extended meetings.

Clearly, the 9mm doesn't penetrate sufficiently.

The North Korea internet only as 28 sites, so maybe you could really surf to the end of the internet there.

Speaker Mic for Your Phone

And the worst thing about it... it won't work with your iPhone 7 if the rumors are true and the headphone jack is going away.

And the "useless item of the century" award goes to... But maybe I'll give it a try with #Echolink. #hamr #hamradio pic.twitter.com/SvLKBQGTi9

Fake Windows Update

Fake Windows Update is fantastic. Pick an OS and hit F11 to go full screen. It hides the mouse cursor and you can even press Enter for a BSOD.

Remember - only use your powers for good.
