DXLook Adds a New Antenna View: How Well is Your Antenna Actually Working?

DXLook Adds a New Antenna View: How Well is Your Antenna Actually Working? : The following is a press release from DXLook : No test gear, no second station, and no need to ask a friend for an S-meter report. DXLOOK.COM , Nov. 2, 2026 . Sooner or later, every ham wonders the same thing: Is my antenna actually any good? DXLook now offers a practical way to answer that question using real-world reception reports. The new Antenna view — available under Maps → Antenna using the đź§­ button — takes your callsign, finds nearby stations, and compares how your signal performs against theirs at the same receiving stations. How it works Receivers around the world continuously report what they hear to networks such as WSPRnet and PSK Reporter .

Why aren’t UK students revolting?

Why aren’t UK students revolting? : Have you heard the news? British students have successfully begun forming a new government, with candidates chosen from their own movement after years of continuous uprising against corruption, forcing the 14-year oligarchy out! Wait. That seems relatively uncharacteristic for British students? Oh yeah, of course—it wasn’t us. It was actually the Serbians, who forced now ex-president Aleksandar VuÄŤić to announce a snap election for 25 October, which lost him 25 seats and his job. Across Italy, Spain, Serbia, Portugal, Albania and France, protests against bad schooling, poor public services and the rising cost of living have been led by students. These deteriorating conditions are often linked to neo-liberalism: an economic and political adaptation of capitalism that prioritises the looting of public institutions and wealth for private gain. Yet despite the UK’s similar decline in geopolitical relevance, living conditions and an educatio...
