Some good news, then!

M 5.5 #earthquake 2 km SSE of Rodotópi, Greece as seen in #Edinburgh on my @raspishake.bsky.social. USGS details: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
Nice and sunny in south Edinburgh with a view of the snowy Pentland Hills.

Oh, dear! Take care, Peter!
Galileo too!
Can they get GPS there? I assume so….
Watch out for RFI, though, unless it’s in a shielded box!
…. and that makes a rather nice low-cost stand-alone unit. Stick it in the loft if GPS reception is better there. If you’re really interested get a dual channel GPS (1.2 and 1.5 GHz) and compare! No longer low-cost, though.
A decontamination of Meteosat-12 FCI is planned to be performed 9-12 March, data outages expected, see full details:

Good to see that post. I’ve found that my Raspberry Pi 1B (yes, that old) gives excellent performance using regular NTP, with many nodes as clients (several hundred). May reduce the cost. You can monitor anywhere on the network using standard NTP commands (Windows or Linux), no need for a display.
Typical for programmers who work for marketing rather than those who actually use the software!
Likely a period of dirty supplies afterwards….

Well done, folks!
Hope your UPS lasts, or that your shutdown was clean! Fingers crossed…..
I was actually thinking external appearance. R/S used to do switch cleaner….
One trick (?) to getting something working is to give it a clean. This the user will notice! 198 kHz is one the way out sometime, I recall that ‘lectric cost and lack of supply of spare valves didn’t help. Useful frequency standard before GPS-locked devices.
Fascinating! Thanks.
What are JWST’s Little Red Dots? Astronomers may finally have an answer www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...
Many thanks, Richard!
The morning breakfast crowd have arrived!
Met 9 & 10 ground segment maintenance tomorrow, risk of interruption, see full details: user.eumetsat.int/news-events/...
Chinese company, though, if that matters.
No. More bother than it’s worth for my house. Get a Dyson cordless instead. Our needs may differ, of course
GM8JAV already received - out of the blue - a Visa card! Caused a lot of checking in case it was fraudulent….
More rain forecast here, but positive temperatures.
Sunny with a clear blue sky in #Edinburgh - -2C this morning and +2C now!
Since when did MBNA decide to change their credit card from MasterCard to VISA? Did everyone but me already know about this?
Met-10 eclipse season tomorrow-4 May, risk of degradation, see full details:
