This has been a huge subject of discussion in the ham radio community. Russian ineptitude in comms has been almost beyond anyone’s ability to believe in our community. They are using $40 radios bought on AliExpress. Their comms are being interrupted by Ukrainians mocking and heckling them (and jamming them, of course). Total buffoonery. ---

So, the Russian Ruble is pretty much back where it was at the beginning of the conflict. It does appear that the currency is stable. I don’t know anyone who expected this. I certainly didn’t. ![image](https://bbad.com/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1468855979337fffd93849278f395799ef9c00fe.png) ---

I’m uncomfortable with this. Some poor Russian bastard is sitting there training for a marathon, has nothing at all to do with Putin or Ukraine, and he’s shut out because of what Putin did. All the while Chinese runners are welcome while over a million Uyghurs are in concentration camps. ---
