- The Belle II detector and SuperKEKB matter-antimatter collider have now ended the 2025 run. The coming weeks will see inspections and tweaks to improve performance. Thank you to all the shifters, from various continents, for the great run. We're looking forward to 2026 operations! belle2.jp

- Last weekend: screenshots on my phone of an aircraft (bright yellow) being tracked by my home-built Montréal rooftop station at a distance of 375km. Routine, except perhaps that I was in seat 13A of that particular plane, holding the phone. #peaknerd www.airnavradar.com/stations/EXT...

- My 1st radio contact with Antarctica, ~17000km from Montreal: Igor Taranenko (RI1ANE) kindly responded to my tiny mobile vertical antenna radiating 25W of HF RF from a mobile mag mount on my condo's deck railing. He is at Progress Base, a Russian research station. The ionosphere is amazing.
