Thanks to Amateur Radio Weekly my attention has been brought to this really useful resource. It is filled with useful circuit, calculators and much more.

What happens when you die?
In Christian traditions you go either to heaven or hell. In some religions you are re-incarnated.
With a world population approaching 8 billion there are many religions. Many have holy books. Most religions have some form of after-life.
If your body and mind just ceases to exist you may experience nothing, just as you were before you existed.
The truth is nobody really knows. As a youth I had a strong Christian faith. These days I am totally unsure.
Where are they?
I think this is true in most places: the bands seem less active than they were, say, 40 years ago.
In my youth, people were fascinated by radio. These days people who just want a chat can use the internet for free. Also more people are using digital modes like FT8.
The downside is that people are unlikely to just chance on the hobby. Unless things change I can see our hobby changing dramatically or even dying out.

My only comment is

Blackberry picking
Today, I took a look and found just a few.
I could not resist taking this photo of this beetle.
With luck I might pick a few more this autumn.
