With this introduction . . . . .
please go visit my new RadioActive Blog : http://wb5rmg.wordpress.com
WB5RMG launches RadioActive Blog
Please add this new site as a bookmark, or favorite - and come back now and then to see what else has been added. The
old html site (http://wb5rmg.somenet.net) will continue on, mostly to host the last decade or so of content that’s already in here, but to also provide a home for the random bits of stuff that just won’t fit into a blog structure very well. It also currently has a bit of the SomeNet website history on the front page.
Enjoy !!

Through the day as this line moved further east, the tail extended further south and included central Alabama and Georgia. The day before it was sweeping across Arkansas.

Thanks to everyone for everything. Discovery flew a great mission and delivered the last of the solar arrays to the ISS and brought Sandy back after her extended stay in orbit…
Good job everyone, I’m glad everything worked so well.
More details on the STS-119 mission on http://www.nass.gov/shuttle of course.
