Fw: Fast Radio Bursts
by Joe Bauman 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hi All, I just received this note from Prof. Learned of the University of Hawaii. This is an interesting discussion and I hope others think so too. Best wishes, Joe ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: John Learned <jgl(a)phys.hawaii.edu> To: Joe Bauman <josephmbauman(a)yahoo.com> Cc: "Hippke, Michael" <Michael.Hippke(a)shs-viveon.com> Sent: Thursday, April 2, 2015 11:46 AM Subject: Re: Fast Radio Bursts Hi Joe: Not an April fools joke, though the folks working on FRBs as cosmic phenomena may wish it so... Things are proceeding in such a way that one must consider the strong liklihood that FRBs are anthropogenic. Aside with association with UTC integer second, the latest however is a strong association with moon phase, for which I have no explanation.

Could you please verify if it is or isn't an actual paper? Thanks very much, Joe Bauman, salt Lake City

Nova
by Dave Gary 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Looked at the nova yesterday morning and this morning. There was supposed to have been a brightening the last couple of days and yesterday the nova appeared to be about as bright as when I last reported (I guess about a week ago). This morning it looked considerably dimmer. Hopefully, Wednesday morning, I may be able to get a photo of it and a spectrum. Maybe. Dave Sent from my iPad

Need radio?
by Wiggins Patrick 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

This is sort of on topic since I'm guessing what I'm giving away could be used by observers in the field. :) I'm having some electrical work done in my garage and while cleaning out a path for the new conduit I came across a CB radio I've not used in years. Anyone want it? It's free to whomever asks for it first. Comes with a car power adapter, a couple of microphones and 3 antennas (antennae?). patrick p.s. The electrician says the 20 amp circuit breakers he's removing to make room for the big breaker are just going to get tossed. Anyone have any use for them?

I need to eliminate my mirror grinding barrel from my hangar. Anyone interested? If not, it will go to the dump.

I was blinking some images I captuted of M106 and found a faint asteroid. Used asteomertica to figure out what it was. http://www.rankinstudio.com/Asteroid_2000_WA67 Fun process, going to start hunting for more. Cheers, David Rankin www.rankinstudio.com
