Does anybody really care
If so I can't imagine why
We've all got time enough to cry"

Equitable Structure for Employee Parking
New Equitable Structure for Employee Parking Begins August 1 at UTK:
"Beginning in the fall 2016 semester, the university will begin charging for faculty and staff parking through a tiered, equitable pay structure.
"Beginning in the fall 2016 semester, the university will begin charging for faculty and staff parking through a tiered, equitable pay structure.
The changes are the result of feedback from employees and research conducted about faculty and staff parking at other large universities.
Employee permits for the 2015-16 academic year expire on July 31. The new pay structure will take effect for permits that begin on August 1.
The new employee payment structure has four cost levels and is based on an employee’s annual compensation.
Here are the levels:
- $29,999 and under annual compensation will pay $20 per month
- $30,000 to $59,999 will pay $30 per month
- $60,000 to $149,999 will pay $35 per month
- $150,000 and over annual compensation will pay $50 per month
Most faculty and staff will see no change to the price they currently pay, while a substantial number of our staff will begin paying less."
Ham Radio 360
I've got good news and bad news. Bad news: The Fo Time Podcast is no more. Good news: Cale has just changed the name to Ham Radio 360 to be more representative of the way the podcast and site have evolved.

Leixen VV-898: BuyTwoWayRadios Backpack Radio Notes
"From the beginning, many hams suggested using the VV-898 in a go-box. Apparently Leixen caught wind of this idea, because they did just that, with the launch of two new variations of this micro mobile, the Leixen VV-898P and VV-898SP UHF/VHF Dual Band Mobile Backpack Two Way Radio."
"The VV-898 Backpack Radio is mounted in an enclosure with everything needed to function as a battery powered mobile device capable of instant-on operation virtually anytime, anywhere. It has a rechargeable Li-Ion battery designed for extended periods of operation and a radiator fan with and on/off switch to keep it cool while transmitting out in the field. While it does use the 400mW speaker already built into the radio, a speaker jack is located on the side of the unit for more flexibility and external audio configurations. It includes a 13.8v AC adapter to recharge the battery or to power the radio when used as a base station."
"Like the stand alone mobile versions, the VV-898 backpack radios are available in two models.
Leixen VV-898P - This is the 10W model. It has a 6A Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. Price: $159.99.
Leixen VV-898SP - This is the 25W model. It has a 10A Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. Price: $179.99"
