    It's Alien Hams!

    The Arecibo Observatory has captured a mysterious and rare deep-space event – a so-called “fast radio burst” (FRB) that lasted a mere three one-thousandths of a second, confirming the results of astronomers at Parkes Observatory in Australia. Until now, it had been thought that the RFBs observed at Parkes may have been of local origin since they had not been seen elsewhere.

    More info here and here. Most likely an extraterrestrial digital mode and, yes, they have already worked 6-Land.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I always thought an FRB was like an SBD. No one seems to know where either came from. Who Gnu?

    I really think it's another bunch of boaters out there somewhere trying to use Winlink...... it makes sense that does...
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!
