I received a log periodic antenna designed by ham radio operator WA5VJB from Kent Electronics. They are rated from 2 to 11 GHz, so this model will cover several of the ham bands. These antennas are made on PCB's and are ideal for use in the amateur microwave bands as compromise dish feeds. In this video I do a test of such a feed versus my patch antenna on the 3.4 GHz band. https://www.wa5vjb.com/products1.html I mounted one in place of the original dipole feed on a 2.4 GHz (13cm) gridpack at the same focal point. Whilst gain will be down...

Speaking from the East Room of the White House Wednesday afternoon, President Joe Biden re-introduced his extreme gun control agenda, advocating for a ban on modern sporting rifles and reminding lawful gun owners that the federal government has nuclear weapons. "Those who say the blood of Patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government," Biden said. "If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons."

Amnesty International on Wednesday accused Greece of contravening their human rights obligations under EU and international law by illegally detaining refugees and migrants and returning them to Turkey. The human rights group’s new report, “Greece: Violence, lies and pushbacks,” focuses on the Evros region, along the border between Greece and Turkey. Last year, Greece pushed back migrants after Turkey unilaterally opened its borders. Amnesty said these human rights violations at Greece’s borders have continued and become an entrenched practice. “It is clear that multiple arms of the Greek authorities are closely coordinating to brutally apprehend and detain people who are...

RALEIGH, N.C. — The state is tracking roughly $81 billion in federal pandemic stimulus spending – so much that it started a new office last year to keep up with everything. Lots of this federal money was spent last year, on stimulus checks that went direct to families, forgivable loans to keep businesses afloat, virus testing, vaccine research and a $10 billion boost to unemployment checks that, at one time or another, went out to nearly a million people. But there are billions left, and that money will be spent over a span of years. Among other things, the state...

MADISON, WI — The American Dream feels more and more like just that– something people can only dream about. According to the Realtors Association of South Central Wisconsin, the average price of a home in Dane County right now is $345,000. Those who work in the housing market industry don’t expect prices to go down anytime soon. John Thompson, President of Thompson Kane & Company, Inc., said on every home that goes up for sale, “We see multiple offers. Twenty, thirty offers per house.” Thompson said one of the most extreme measures he’s seen a home buyer take recently was...

WTH??? Notice the Biden Admin using the word tribes more and more. That's not a dog whistle for divisiveness, it's a bullhorn. This is one sick administration we have.

Abbott and Costello once delivered a comedy routine entitled, “Who’s on First?” that identified various players on a baseball team and the positions they fielded. My team is called America and these are my players. First Base. Who. Joe Biden is currently playing first base. Joe is an enigma wrapped in a riddle. He falls up the stairs boarding Air Force One, gets confused, angry and lapses into fits of speaking mumbo jumbo. Joe can’t string thoughts together without a teleprompter, and his sign language interpreter dude looks like he’s having a stroke most of the time. Rough gig. Who...

The first person to be sentenced in connection with the riot at the Capitol — a 49-year-old woman from Indiana — will serve no time in prison after reaching an agreement with the government and pleading guilty on Wednesday to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. At an unusual hearing where she admitted guilt and was immediately sentenced by a judge, the woman, Anna Morgan-Lloyd, expressed remorse for her role in the attack of Jan. 6. She apologized to the court, her family and the “American people,” saying it was wrong to have entered the Capitol even though she hurt no...

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., on Wednesday introduced legislation to hire 100,000 new police officers across the U.S. and boost optimism among police and communities. The bill would provide federal grants to locales to boost new police hires; increase penalties for assaulting federal officers by 50%; develop programs to protect the private information judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officials; extend concealed carry rights to federal judges and prosecutors; increase service programs for federal officers; and more. "It's absolutely vital that we keep American families safe. That is the bottom line, and right now, too many Americans aren't. Why aren't they? Because...

I know I speak for many a believer who feels a burden for a loved one, neighbor/colleague/friend to come to the fullness of faith in Christ. The dynamics at work in the spiritual lives of children and adults are different for obvious reasons...Simply by virtue of adults having had more life experience, more ideas to consider, etc... So for those of you who are willing, can you summarize what made you ultimately decide to be a Christian? And if there were any individuals who played a role, how so? And vice versa: what or who may have contributed to your...

Ah optics, the only thing Joe Bidens’ asterisk administration seems concerned with. This shouldn’t surprise us given who his mentor was- but now, the cake has at last truly been taken. Kamala Harris is finally visiting the border- and being given a steady round of applause by the legacy media for doing so, even if three months belatedly. There’s only one glaring problem. Kamala will be visiting El Paso, which is one thousand miles away from the main border crisis and the locations of some of the most overrun border facilities, which happen to be in the same region I...

Privacy-focused web browser Brave has launched a beta version of its Brave search engine in an attempt to create a privacy-focused alternative to Google. Brave is basing its search engine on its own index of websites, unlike rival DuckDuckGo which is based on the Bing search index, making it vulnerable to Microsoft’s censorship efforts. ZDNet reports that privacy-focused web browser Brave has launched a beta version of its Brave search engine in an attempt to create a privacy-focused alternative to Google. Brave acquired the search engine Tailcat in March and aims to challenge Google by approaching online search with a...

Can starchy snacks harm heart health? New research published today found eating starchy snacks high in white potato or other starches after any meal was associated at least a 50% increased risk of mortality and a 44-57% increased risk of CVD-related death. Conversely, eating fruits, vegetables or dairy at specific meals is associated with a reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease, cancer or any cause. According to their findings: Eating a Western lunch (typically containing refined grains, cheese, cured meat) was associated with a 44% increased risk of CVD death; Eating a fruit-based lunch was associated with a 34%...
