I keep seeing #HamRadio antennas using all sort of huge devices to create links between band segments. Alligator clips. Wago blocks. Mueller clips. Mostly with the antenna wire tied to something stiff that makes it hard to roll up neatly, rather than using flexible cord. I keep looking for and not finding examples of my approach to linking.
My solution is so simple, neat, and tidy…

Photo of an antenna link between 12 meter and 15 meter segments, shown above a metric scale. The entire link is between 17 and 18 cm long. Dacron cord carries the load between the two segments, which are connected by banana plugs insulated by more heat shrink.
The same link as in the first picture, this time disconnected.
Linked dipole form showing one leg of a dipole with many links in it wound up for storage. The wire is wound in a figure eight to avoid twists. Several of the links are partially visible in it.

Photo of a fluffy Himalayan cat (I think) sitting in a desk chair while looking at a Mac laptop with a scrapped off Apple logo. Kitty is very interested in all that sensitive data which I never signed an NDA to view. Nearby a cup of coffee, a iPhone cord, and a cat tree near another office chair can be seen.

What came first- the CNAME or the A record
A recent change to 1.1.1.1 accidentally altered the order of CNAME records in DNS responses, breaking resolution for some clients. This post explores the technical root cause, examines the source code of affected resolvers, and dives into the inherent ambiguities of the DNS RFCs.

Once a motor nerve is infected,
the rabies virus works backwards, infecting the nerve that tells the motor nerve what to do,
then infecting the nerve that tells that one what to do, and so on.
By working backwards like this, rabies makes its way to the spinal cord, then works its way upwards until it reaches the brain.
This journey from the body to the brain can take anywhere from a week to a year,
depending on where the bite happened and how much virus got into …

Driving you mad: Understanding the rabies virus
People have lived in fear of rabies for thousands of years, but it’s only recently we’ve started to learn how it works.
