About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Since last I posted I have had a few developments. Firstly, one of you readers, our own WB0YLE, sent a spiffy Kenwood transceiver. Another is sending a mic. An antenna (and a tuner would be a good idea), and key should … Continue reading
Advice from a priest: use protection!
I am sure you remember my scare-warnings that, “It doesn’t happen to you, until it does!” One of the things you need to plan for is the protection of your electronic stuff, which we rely on a lot and often spend … Continue reading

“If it wasn’t for health care…”
The nice UPS gal swooped in with a review DVD from First Run Films about the late Archbishop Oscar Romero. I’ll probably watch it tonight. In our brief chat, I mentioned how impressed I was that UPS and FedEx can move … Continue reading
Do you use “protection”?
I hope you are not careless. I am talking, of course, about using an Uninterrupted or Uninterruptible Power Source, or UPS. These things are powerful surge protectors and back-up batteries which will keep your equipment running steady on in the … Continue reading

Another note about UPS units
I have had another nasty surprise. I have written elsewhere about the need for UPS units. A large UPS unit that was playing a critical role in my network was done in at some point, I am guessing a recent … Continue reading
