		<description><![CDATA[I would guess many amateur radio operators – hams – first became interested in radio during childhood. I remember listening to exchanges between astronauts and mission control during the Mercury and Gemini space programs. That stations on Earth could talk to people in space seemed like magic at the time. A few years later radio emerged [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tomsalzer.net&#038;blog=4429294&#038;post=2112&#038;subd=tslog&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Last week, I spent several days in one of my favorite cities. The hotel I was in was not my favorite: I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tomsalzer.net&#038;blog=4429294&#038;post=1729&#038;subd=tslog&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Power is out throughout much of the region, and radio and cell towers have toppled over. Many roads are impassable, and only military vehicles and helicopters have access to some areas.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m interested in things we can&#8217;t see that markedly affect our lives. I sail because the invisible wind is a living force that fascinates me. I watch weather, where clouds are symptoms of deeper causes. And I am enjoying radio, with unseen radio waves passing over, around, and through me. There was nothing really spectacular [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tomsalzer.net&#038;blog=4429294&#038;post=1675&#038;subd=tslog&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
