					<description><![CDATA[EAM received! I found this pretty interesting website this morning: Missileer.watch As a former cold guy, this brings back a bit of nostalgia. The Air Force operates something called the HFGCS (High Frequency Global Communications System) which has transmitter sites around the world and uses multiple frequencies. This system augments the satellite based system that &#8230; <a href="https://www.engineeringradio.us/blog/2026/10/skyking-skyking-do-not-answer/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">SKYKING, SKYKING do not answer&#8230;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[An important part of any medium-frequency and high-frequency antenna system is the nature of the ground immediately around the antenna system. The reason for the complex and expensive AM ground system is to create a return path for the portion of the RF wave that is not radiating from the tower. Higher ground conductivity helps &#8230; <a href="https://www.engineeringradio.us/blog/2026/10/ground-conductivity/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Ground Conductivity</span></a>]]></description>

These little plant hoppers are native to China and Vietnam and were accidentally imported to the US back in 2013 or so. They were first spotted in Pennsylvania in September of 2014 They are destructive and invasive.

					<description><![CDATA[This post is about a Large Loop On Ground (LLOG) receive antenna. I have, for some time, been lamenting the demise of my K9AY antenna last year. While I don&#8217;t spend a lot of time Shortwave Listening these days, it is sometimes a nice diversion on a rainy day.

					<description><![CDATA[First of all, I have received a few off line questions about my well being due to the absence of posts recently. I assure you, I am fine. I am really busy with a variety of projects, most of which cannot be blogged about due to restrictions from station owners. Secondly, I hope that all &#8230; <a href="https://www.engineeringradio.us/blog/2026/07/happy-independence-day-patriot/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Happy Independence Day, Patriot!</span></a>]]></description>
