Who to Believe?

On a music show chat board last night a guy who lives in Ohio said he has neighbors who believe that Trump is already the president. He isn’t, but he’s acting as if he is and lying as he always does.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum denied proposing to US President-elect Donald Trump that Mexico will close its border with the United States as he claimed in a post on Truth Social.

Trump operates on a transactional basis. I’m sure Sheinbaum would tell him what she wants in return for her efforts to manage the border. How about doing something to reduce American demand for drugs and limiting the flow of American guns into Mexico?

My Work Permit

I don’t need government permission to run this website, but I did need permission to run the radio station transmitter when I was working alone on the weekends. The requirement was passing the test for an FCC 3rd Class Radiotelephone Operator’s License.

This study guide was printed the year after I took the test. Looking through the questions now, I can’t believe I knew any of this material.

Many wannabe DJ’s had trouble with the test. I passed it the first time. The license is in a box somewhere. As I recall, the FCC dropped the test before I quit the business. All you had to do to get a license was fill out a form and send it in.

Let me amend something I said. Parts of Element 9, the more technical section, are still with me.
