40s day at museum - NOT amateur radio

 

Today was the 1940s day at the local museum . It is very popular.

Family meal - NOT amateur radio

After seeing our granddaughter doing her ballet 🩰 on stage at the Royal Opera House in London we shared a lovely meal together. 

SSTV from the International Space Station (ISS)

Amateur radio Weekly reminds us that there will be SSTV from the ISS this week. I guess you have to know when it will be in range in your location. In the past I have not tried. Perhaps I should.

Day off - NOT amateur radio


Today I had a day off from radio going instead to the Royal Opera House in London to see my granddaughter do her ballet 🩰 to a full house. It was excellent.
