The National Radio Institute in Washington has closed down. So where do you go now?

April 22nd, 2012

Question by Homeboy: The National Radio Institute in Washington has closed down. So where do you go now?
The National Radio Institute in Washington, taken over earlier by McGraw-Hill and renamed the National Radio Institute McGraw-Hill Continuing Education Centre, was closed some years ago. In the past, the National Radio Institute advertised that you could do correspondence courses with them in How To Fix Appliances, Basic Radio Servicing and things like that.
So where does one go now?
I know you can get CDs with the old NRI courses, but these will unfortunately be a bit outdated now. I would like to know where you can get the modern equivalent of the NRI courses.
I’m semi-retired and work from home, and I can’t go out to any part-time courses or colleges. I live in South Africa, and there’s probably not much available locally anyway.
Thanks, Wired. Good advice. I’ll definitely follow it up and go about it that way.

Answer by Wired
Google “correspondence courses” to see several options. I also tried “appliance repair courses” and found some correspondence courses listed. You will want to do a bit of research to make sure it isn’t just a place that takes your money and gives nothing in return. Good luck.

Hudson River Plane Crash Crew: “Brace brace, heads down, stay down” – US Airway Flight 1549 -

March 8th, 2012

Its nice to see that we still have people who are so professional, and that they do what needs to be done, the way that it needs to be done, and when it needs to be done. The Captain and Crew of this flight should be saluted by everyone in the world for the excellent job that they did. jbranstetter04 Hudson River crash recordings reveal calm of Captain Sullenberger His quick thinking under pressure has already been hailed across the world. Now transcripts of the final communication from the aircraft that crashed on the Hudson reveal how its pilot calmly radioed air traffic controllers that he was planning to land in the river next to Manhattan. The audio recordings from the stricken jet, released yesterday, reveal that air traffic control met the news with disbelief. Were going to be in the Hudson, Captain Chesley Sully Sullenberger told the tower in a deadpan voice. Im sorry, say again, an air traffic controller responded. There was no answer from the aircraft. Captain Sullenbergers splash landing saved the lives of all 155 people aboard US Airway Flight 1549 from New Yorks LaGuardia airport to Charlotte, North Carolina, on January 15. The former US Air Force pilot walked through the aircraft twice to check that all passengers had got out before he abandoned the aircraft, in a feat dubbed The Miracle on the Hudson. Investigators have confirmed that birds struck both engines of the Airbus A320 just after takeoff. The National Transportation Safety Board has released a

How do you trace or track down a radio signal?

August 9th, 2011

Question by AP answers: How do you trace or track down a radio signal?
If i am in contact with a radio, how can I trace the location of the radio? Is there a way to geolocate a radio signal. I dont have any of the radios information, and am and will be unable to get any information regarding the equipment. However, I am in communications with that radio. How would I go about being able to find where the radio is located? Is there any sort of special equipment that I can use to geolocate it?

Answer by Numbat
This problem has exercised the minds of many government departments over the years. It’s simplest if the station transmits it’s own co-ordinates. This is the way it’s done with cellphones which use GPS to locate themselves:

Otherwise you will need to resort to radio- direction finding:

July 30th, 2011

Question by Growth vs Oil: What are some ways to shrink government down to the size where you can drown it in a bathtub?
If you can cause problems in the economy will government spend money?
If government spends too much money will government have to make cuts?
And what other libertarian Republicans share this Grover Norquist quote from before 911?

Ya Boy f. Akon – Lock Down Music Video BTS + Interviews

June 28th, 2011

www.hardknock.tv Hard Knock TV’s Behind the Scenes Exclusive preview of Ya Boy (YB) and Akon’s new music video for Lock Down. Akon tells Nick Huff Barili that you can expect his long awaited album to finally come out in September, that it’s called Stadium and that you can expect a much bigger sound from him, which is influence by everywhere he has been in the last couple years. Akon also goes in on the crosspollination between dance music and hip hop, which seem to be dominating the radio charts these days. Konvict has quite the eclectic roster that includes Lady Gaga, T-Pain, Ya Boy, Sway, Colby O’Donis, Jeffree Star, Kardinal Officiall among others. When asked if he ever thought about having a posses cut with everyone he said yes and that he could see even an album with everyone but that he wants to wait until everyone has a chance to make a name for themselves first. Ya Boy (aka YB the Rock Star), who’s influences include Eminem, Jay-Z, Tupac, E-40, Jadakiss, Master P, and Cash Money, talks about what the road has been like from his first track 16 Bars (google if you haven’t heard it) till now, including the move from the Bay to LA and going from working the streets to performing at Paris Hilton’s house. His new album Music Lives is almost done and you can expect him to not only rep the Bay but the whole West Coast, like he did with the smash We Run La, which he says pays homage to LA like Tupac’s to Live and Die in LA. If that wasn’t enough, video vixen Charm Killings
