“When it came to the unexplained death of an infant, one was a tragedy, two were suspicious, and three most likely pointed to murder. After reviewing the case, one police psychologist concluded, If natural causes are eliminated, then, in my opinion, Kathleen Folbigg became angry and frustrated with her children's crying and need for constant attention to a point where it overwhelmed her.”

“The statistical likelihood that four children could die from SIDS is in excess of one in a trillion. As the children had all been growing normally and their autopsies identified no sign of disease, Dr Opphoven believed that all four of them had been suffocated by the last person to see them alive– Kathleen Folbigg.”

“Combined with Kathleen's diary entry from the night Caleb died in which she enthusiastically wrote, Finally Asleep, Professor Berry believed it was possible that Caleb had not only been smothered to death, but also smothered on a previous occasion from which he was able to recover.”

“I've lived with the shame of coming and changing that story, he said. I've felt that I couldn't protect those children in life, and I certainly didn't protect them in death. With Craig back on their side and agreeing to testify against Kathleen, the detectives were finally ready to make their move.”

“The press published some of the most damning expert opinions from the police statement of facts, including Dr. Ophoven's belief that the odds of all four Folbigg children dying of unexplained natural causes was one in a trillion. Accompanied by the excerpt from Kathleen's diary in which she compared herself to her murderous father, it didn't take long before she was considered guilty in the court of public opinion.”

“Yannick Sinner is Monte Carlo champion 2026. His first big clay court title, his fourth straight 1,000 title, slowly but surely, chipping away at that Carlos Alcaraz head to head, having won three out of the last five. And he becomes number one in the world. I think both players, Alcaraz and Sinner, have made it clear that that is a footnote in their heads, and I think it should be a footnote in our heads as well.”

“If you take no rest, no rest, you've got six days of prep on a surface you haven't played on in six months. And then you have to play five matches in six days in a condensed format, very high level competition, pretty much every round. That's tough. You've gotta be cut from a a different cloth to manage that, and he becomes the first to do it successfully since Novak Djokovic in 2015.”

“If I’m putting on my coach's hat and I see Sinner at 50 unforced errors, which is of course really high in a two set match, I'm saying that's okay. Jannik has to play attacking tennis. He needs to get on Alcaraz and be on his front foot and and take charge with big aggressive ground strokes. We saw what happened, I think, when he played a safer style against Carlos throughout 2024. It just did not work.”

“Sinner was not really allowing Carlos to play that high ball into the backhand because he was so proactive in taking the slower ball into his backhand and making sure I'm gonna utilize that time to make forehands and then play on the rise at shoulder level. That was sort of the positioning that Sinner was typically looking for when Carlos played the high ball. I saw him getting around a lot of forehands and flattening it out inside out.”

“If you look at how many forehands Alcaraz hit, the number is, 98 versus a 112 backhands. That's amazing. It's really hard to get Carlos to hit that many more backhands compared to forehands. Sinner, on the other hand, hit a 117 forehands to just 80 backhands. The only way that that's possible is that you're playing a lot of points if you're Yannick Sinner getting to hit your forehand into Alcaraz's backhand.”

“Yeah John, as you know, Hamvention is the world's largest gathering of radio amateurs. It's held this year, May 16th through 18th in Zinnia, Ohio. There's a lot to do and see, so we want to help you use the ARRL Events App to make sure you don't miss a beat and you can plan out your visit ahead of time. Hundreds of our fellow hams have already installed the app this week and are using it.”

“The Commission will review an order this month that bans device testing conducted by labs that are, quote, owned or controlled directly by entities that pose national security risks. According to a statement by FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, he identified China as one example of such a country. He said it was important that US-based laboratories begin to take on the responsibility to certify such equipment.”

“The Brazilian regulator will no longer require Morse code for amateur licenses under the changes that have been under consideration since 2020. The regulator will update content in its exams for its three license classes. This is one of several changes contained in a resolution released on April 28th by ANATEL. The resolution also grants hams the ability to operate on citizens' band 11 meter frequencies.”

“The grant will allow Dlarc to continue curating and preserving historical content related to Ham Radio for an additional two years. The library includes a plethora of content from club newsletters to software to old printed call books that date back to the early 1900s. Dlarc has a want list. If you own copies of any of the publications sought by Dlarc, please consider donating them for preservation and future amateur radio enthusiasts.”

“Now it could wait no longer since things had changed so radically with the rise of broadcasting. In early March 1922, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover convened the first national radio conference in Washington. Will will bring us there in this week's edition. And we will stop by and visit with Bill Salyers, AJ8B in the ever popular DX Corner, with all the latest news on DXpeditions.”
