Was taking pics for a contest and this one was nice but didn't quite meet the theme.

Well I had heard about this German Dude who had made contacts with 100 countries via amateur radio on the 432 MHz band.  Well at that frequency its close to line of sight.  Hard to contact lots of countries.  But he does EME aka Moon Bounce.  Ok that opens up half the planet.  Still not easy.  So I read he has a 1500 watt amp and an antenna array with 28.4 dBd of gain.  Hmm  interesting.  Plug it into an ERP calculator.  ERP is Effective Radiated Power.  It comes out to 1037745 watts.

That is a bit over a Million Fucking Watts of power!!!!

So PSA:  Don't fly over his house.  Oh yeah,  at first I was going to self censor but in honor of George Carlin,  I won't.
Makes my 100 watt amp seem puny.

Actually nothing exciting at all

And it did not involved ladders or beer.

One Impeachment and One proposed.  Make your own judgement

Well it took 10 years but I finally got to see Robert Earle Keen in concert.  About 10 years ago, mariser wanted to go see Robert Earle Keen at Lynagh's. She had heard it was a bit of a dump and she wanted to check it out.  So we pull into the parking lot near campus and get out at which point we are accosted by a rent-a-cop who says we can't park there.  We explain we just want to see the place before buying tickets.  He's unyielding since there is no show that afternoon.  It gets ugly and I move the car and park on the street out front instead.  I go in to the bar (adjacent to the club and owned by the same) complain and I get to meet John Broderick Lynagh.  After a bit of a discussion and i telling him I don't appreciate his security guard ,  it is determined that he appreciates his security guard and he doesn't appreciate my business.  So I basically I was asked to leave.  Yep the ONLY bar I have been thrown out was one in which I was totally sober.  Didn't even have a drink.

But Robert Earle Keen came to town last weekend and it was not at Lynagh's as they had closed the club.  It was at the Lexington Opera House instead.  A very fine venue.
