1. The Early Radio Problem

Back in the early 1900s, before fancy superheterodynes and digital receivers, Morse code was sent using continuous-wave (CW) signals — a steady, unmodulated carrier that was simply on or off.
To the ear, that kind of signal didn’t sound like a tone — it was just silence when off, hiss when on.
Operators needed a way to hear the dots and dashes as actual beeps — something their ears could interpret quickly, even through static.

Enter the Beat Frequency Oscillator. Continue reading

Waveform, Anyone???

Most people have heard of things like binaural beats—those weird tones you listen to with headphones to supposedly tune your brainwaves. They claim to shift your state, help you meditate, focus, relax, sleep, or even access spiritual insights. The idea is you play a sound at one frequency in one ear, a slightly different one in the other ear, and your brain “hears” the difference as a beat. That beat frequency, they say, syncs your brain into states like Alpha, Theta, or Gamma. Continue reading

Unearthing the Archive

Once again I’ve spent the night — about six hours, midnight to six a.m. — reviewing and sorting through the countless items on my hard drives. Little treasure bins scattered across folders, partitions, old drives, and backup copies. It’s quiet work, and it suits me. The house is still. No distractions. Just me and the glow of the screen, moving files like bones in an archaeological dig. Continue reading

What’s the Good Word?

The good word would be that there’s a new President, but let that go. Forget politics for a while, and enjoy the healing and uplifting vibrations of the DJ Podcast, KGOD, my longtime radiodiffusion station on the Higher Astral Planes, serving the entire universe including the BardoTown metropolitan area, which Trump would describe as a “War Zone”. It’s actually very peaceful, but he doesn’t bother to actually look before he throws out some accusations. Continue reading

Whiskey, Tango Foxtrot?

I have a lot of stuff to show you at today’s zoom meeting… hope to see you there!

Whiskey, Tango Foxtrot — that’d be the NATO phonetic alphabet you’re using, and it’s still in use today in the military, aviation, law enforcement, ham radio, and anywhere clarity matters when spelling out over radio or phone. Continue reading
