In a memo this morning, CBS News announced that it will shut down CBS News Radio on May 22.
Relied upon by around 700 U.S. stations, it is the 2nd oldest unit of the Paramount-Skydance corporation after Paramount Pictures.

Reading a book I picked up yesterday at an antique place. Always neat to see someone’s notes written. Will be interesting to see if there are more notes later on. #shortwave #swl

Major gas explosion and fire on Amherst St; fire crew needs transport, RT 101A closed.
I'm listening to "Nashua Fire Rescue Ch 1-8". Listen on @ScannerRadio scannerradio.app/?l=ODE1MDc&…
Anyone with a new HackRF Pro, or anyone who updated to a 2026 branch for the HackRF One should really update to 2026.01.3 firmware , especially if they have been seeing mixer lock issues. github.com/greatscottgadgets…. #hackrf
Helping test some recent HackRF issues was a great excuse to script up some automated testing using HackRF tools like hackrf_transfer, with a series of scpi commands using lxi-tools to automate and test and measure the device. I have done some general test equipment automation before, but it was nice to fully automate multiple pieces of software together.
