Work on the Random Access Thought has throttled down considerably in the last year or so but not for lack of interest. Our executive director George W2XBS has a current work schedule that varies quite dramatically from week to week and now includes extensive weekend work. This, along with the usual family responsibilities, plus a renewed personal interest in health and fitness, has effectively pushed This Week In Amateur Radio to the back burner with only the occasional program update. This is a substantial sea change from the weekly news shows that were once the hallmark of this highly regarded on-the-air and over-the-Internet audio news service.

Since there is now a certain amount of additional free time to do audio on this end, yours truly has produced some speciality sound for friends who do their own satellite radio and Internet broadcast programs. In addition, I have spent some of that discretionary time restoring vintage audio for a fellow Facebooker who is quite the sound effects enthusiast.

In a previous entry to this blog, it was noted that I had retired my cheap forty nine dollar RadioShack audio cassette recorder, otherwise known as the C49DRSACR, which was replaced with the expensive two hundred and fifty dollar Olympus PCM recorder, from this point to be known as the E250DOPCMR (that is if I can remember this remarkably clumsy acronym).
.
This recorder I take everywhere now, catching recordings of all sorts of things including some of the goings on at a weekly Saturday Chinese buffet get together of local amateur radio operators here in the Capital District. I have started generating a short two or three minute podcast called "The BuffetLine" which I post at http://twaud.io/users/N2FNH on a weekly basis. Basically, we try to determine just what it is we are eating in these joints. But do see my previous entries entitled "VACATION!" and "VACATION?" for my...theories.

Just how long I can keep this kind of a audio thread going remains to be seen but it is fun to reel in these these sound balloons along with the once in a while photo depictions which I post on Facebook.
