“The resolution also grants hams the ability to operate on citizens' band 11 meter frequencies. They must identify with their call signs and are limited to 10 watts of power in AM and 25 watts of power in SSB. They must also stay within authorized channels. The regulator expects to move ahead with these changes after a six months period in which supplementary regulations will also be issued.”

“The Brazilian regulator will no longer require Morse code for amateur licenses under the changes that have been under consideration since 2020.

“So the way the TIC data collection system works, we only or we, as with the authority delegated to us from the treasury, can only collect from US entities. So we will collect data from US custodians, and they will say, yes. You know, we have we're holding securities in custody for entity x in Belgium or whatever. But they can't go any further than that. So the classic example we use here is that Euroclear is a huge securities depository in Belgium, and they hold all types of securities, but in particular, treasuries on behalf of many customers from many countries. But all we see in the TIC data is Belgium.”

“So we had part of the legislation required that we produce estimates of counterfeits, and and so I did. And those estimates were in the reports, and the Secret Service cited them for years. And when I was on my rotation in cash, I said, you know, you've been citing these numbers that are from 2005. Maybe we should update them because they will be lower. I promise you. And sure enough, they were lower by, like, a factor of 10.”

“My view at this point was, you know, I'm not trusting this economy anymore. All right. They need to dollarize and get rid of their currency altogether. I wrote a short op-ed to that effect. Meanwhile, Mark wrote a paper as well. Do you want to talk about that for a second, Mark?”

“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.”

“Our job is to use our deep water, deep blue water Navy to maintain freedom of navigation for the world. That is why the world, there's a big reason why the world uses the dollar as the reserve currency. And so if we say, hey, this isn't our problem, number one, that starts to raise serious questions about why am I paying the Americans for weapons? Why am I paying the Americans to hold dollars? And then also, at a more fundamental level, if we're winning, why can't we open the Strait of Hormuz?”

“Apollo was when I was a child, and to be here now and say we actually did this. We've gone back, and we're gonna go, build a moon base. We are going to have an enduring presence on the moon. Just incredibly powerful.”

“Don't worry, oil industry, we're nearly there. You can see that I think he recognizes the easiest way to end the risk to Hormuz might be to simply end the war, rather than to throw the US Navy in there.”

“I agree with Mark that the plans for dollarizing have been put aside, mainly because they don't have the dollars to do it. They're focusing on stabilizing the economy, which is the right way to go. And my view is if they succeed in stabilizing the economy, then that's when they should dollarize in order to preclude another fallback into chaos.”

“Yeah. And so part of the enabling legislation was that we had to write a report. So there are actually three reports from the treasury called the use and counterfeiting of of United States currency abroad. I mean, what I like to say is as much as two thirds or between half and two thirds. Yeah. Because we really don't know. It's exceptionally hard to measure.”

“Carlos likes to use height on this surface to attack Yannik Center. He especially gets rewarded and this is the way in which he likes to kind of initially build the points. Often get the ball up high into center's backhand. But 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 going to utilize that time to make forehands and then play on the rise at shoulder level.”

“I didn't do much pressing. Obviously, the US doesn't intervene in foreign exchange markets. One still had to manage the meager foreign exchange holdings of the US, SDR transactions with other countries when they wanted to. We kind of got out of the credit stabilization business. There was Mexico in the mid-90s, there was Uruguay subsequently in the early 2000s, but it became difficult to do such operations.”

“Under President Biden, the number one energy supply line to Europe was cut. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia to Germany. Under President Trump now, the second lifeline of energy has been cut, which is through the Strait of Hormuz. So really what's happening, and you know, none of that is sort of a surprise. You know, if you sort of take these actions, this is the result, reveal preference. We have to assume that's what those behind the scenes who advise the president want it because it's not surprising.”

“You win the Sunshine double. You fly back to Europe. Maybe a Sunday evening redeye, but far more likely to be a Monday morning flight, I would think, or a Monday flight. At any rate, if you take no rest, no rest, you've got six days of prep on a surface you haven't played on in 6 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 got to be cut from a a different cloth to manage that. And he becomes the first to do it successfully since NovakJokovic in 2015.”

“The jury in the civil trial against concert giant Live Nation finished its first day of deliberations on Friday. 34 states have charged that the company and its ticketing arm, Ticketmaster, have driven up the cost of watching live music across the nation.”

“And we really haven't seen any of those things. We've seen some cheap drones and a small number of incidents targeting ships for insurers and shipping companies, who then decided it's unsafe to cross the narrowest S-curve of the waterway. So from the looks of it, from a military standpoint, the IRGC has essentially weaponized commercial risk aversion, rather than actually imposing a blockade.”

“When it started back in the 80s, and we did the tanker reflagging during the Iran-Iraq War, when Iran was attacking Iraqi and Gulf tankers, we were deploying about 30 surface vessels, we being the US, out of 268 If we deployed the same number of vessels today, we would be deploying them out of only 111 US surface naval vessels. So it's a far heavier lift for today's downsized US Navy than it was back in those days, and the US Navy is facing a much more advanced anti-shipping threat than they were back then.”

“It's really crunch time for the Houthis. You know, they probably, like the rest of us, can tell that the Iranian regime has a good chance of surviving this. And we're going to see in the next 12 hours whether they take shots at the US carrier group, there's going to be no better chance to hit a US aircraft carrier, you know, in this entire crisis than what's about to happen now with the straight transit down in the Red Sea. If you want to create that iconic image of a US aircraft carrier on fire, now is the time to do it.”

“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.”

“So I know I think people would be very uncomfortable with that. I think that in the case of Sweden, they actually have offline capability for their payment system. But they are very concerned about the inclusion effects of older people or people in remote locations, and, you know, the bank doesn't have cash anymore. And I think that's a problem we wanna avoid. And I I think there is a a fundamental privacy consideration too.”

“Amazon kicks off its satellite constellation with a launch of its first group of satellites for the Kuiper network. Changes are announced in the ARRL Atlantic Division. The CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame announces its latest inductees. Spacex is thinking about entering a spectrum battle with another satellite operator.”

“Arkansas Tennis is no longer here. But what what's the game what's the path forward, I guess, for, like, Americans that wanna play college tennis? Get better. But how do you I feel like it's it's just that, like what about, like, if you're if you're an 18 year old American, but, like, you're losing a spot to whatever school to Arkansas because they bring over a 21 year old European who's ranked 600 in the world. It's hard to compete with that.”

“Steven and Mark join us today to discuss whether dollar dominance is here to stay. You guys have a nice paper co-authored. It's the reason we're here really together to talk today. It's called Dollar Dominance is Here to Stay for the Forseeable Future. The real issue for global economy is how and why. And we'll provide a link to that in the show notes.”

“You see this thing with these shrimp? There's some shrimp bad shrimp tacos been going around. We're talking about the shrimp tacos, guys. That's the rumor. Courier that's it was Courier alluded to that. Right? Like, he'd maybe didn't elude it. He flat out said that. That the shrimp tacos has taken a lot of players out, like, Kilich. Iga. Cilic. Coco Gauff Yep. Ate the tacos and was still able to win despite, like, throwing up on the court.”

“Alcaraz is out of RG. You know, we see we you know, seen in that photo with his brace on his right wrist. He's clearly he can't get it ready, for Roland Garros. So, like, that's a big bummer. His quote was because after the results of the test carried out today, we've decided that the most prudent thing is to be cautious and not participate in Rome and RG. We will we will wait to assess the evolution of the injury and decide when we will return to the court.”

“We were told that the first attack was at the summer where we went in, we bombed, it was clean, we left. That was it. We took out all their nuclear launching capabilities, come to find out now. We were told it was for the people. I haven't heard a single thing from anybody on the ground. Any Iranians, the protesters here are like, yes, we want it, please help us. The internet's down, we don't know what the hell is going on. I don't see this not going a year, at least a year.”

“The very nature of warfare has fundamentally changed in a way that has arguably not happened since black powder rifles were used to take down heavy cavalry whenever that was four or five hundred years ago. And that is that Iran is using missiles and drones to stand off the United States Navy in a naval choke point. And so while there's something called Mahan Doctrine, which is you control naval choke points, you control the world. And that has been in force for four or five hundred years.”

“So I think one thing that is surprising to me is the extent to which dollar denominated stablecoins so completely dominate the market. I mean, it's like 90%, 95%, 99%. It's incredibly high. And I don't understand why that would necessarily be the case, but here we are. So, I mean, anytime there's a dollar denominated asset that's being popularized, it's going to, I would say, increase the standing of the dollar.”

“But we've been talking about how sobering all this is. Everybody, the thing is, everybody knows it's sobering, including the combatants. And as a result, that's why I kind of feel like this thing is going to fizzle within the next six to 10 days. I think the overall cost of this conflict to all involved is going to mean everyone finds a way to off ramp, I think within the next two weeks.”

“I think it's a pretty big breakthrough in that sense as well to beat Alcarez and Monte Carlo because this is this is pretty much the slowest conditions on tour. These are the slowest conditions on tour. the head-to-head in slow conditions by my count was uh 6-2 Alcarez, but five in a row to Carlos. I think Yannik will take a lot of pride in beating Carlos in these conditions which are about as slow as it gets. That's significant.”

“SMP futures, Dow 1.48, Dow 1.36. Oil, gas prices right now, 112.17. It's skyrocketed. While this is going on, at the same time, we're hearing a bunch of other news that took place. And that statement, Bitcoin dropped. Markets concerned. People are worried. What's going to be happening? He did talk about the 4 million kids in America right now have that Trump account that's been created, which was some of the good news that he shared.”

“I think we've seen the rock bottom from Tsitsipas. And he's on the way back. Yeah. Have we? Yes. I think we have, dude. Like, his first terms of his, like I hope so. Of his level on the court. I mean, he was, like, whiffing backhand returns. I've seen highlights. I've seen stuff with him, like, whiffing returns. You don't think we've seen his rock bottom, Stevie? You think it's getting worse? I don't know, man. There's still people in his box that might bring him down.”

“The submitted plans from the Harrison Design Firm show a structure very similar to the model that Trump showed off at a fundraising dinner at the White House last October. The proposed arch bears a striking resemblance to the Arc De Triomphe in Paris and is topped with two eagles and a winged crowned figure reminiscent of the Statue Of Liberty.”

“I think an interesting thing to watch in the next 24 hours is going to be the movement of the Ford Battle Group through the Red Sea. You can see that the Ford carrier has come down from the Med through the Suez Canal, and right now it is siking itself up around Jeddah for a run through the Red Sea and through the Babel Mandip Strait to get out into the Indian Ocean to come down to the Gulf. This is, if you think about it, a miniature dry run of what we are about to do in Hormuz potentially, which is to say a bunch of US ships have got to move past the hostile coastline, in this case Yemen's coastline with the Houthis, against a lesser set of capabilities than the Iranians have and they've only got to do it once.”

“Basically, in my view, Argentina is a country that overborrowed domestically. The central bank ended up monetizing the debt, causing hyperinflation. They borrowed excessively abroad to finance themselves. The markets gave it to them. Don't ask me why, but the markets did. And then it serially defaults. So at the core of Argentina's problem is excessive borrowing. And that's the issue that needs to be tackled.”

“And, I mean, I have a little bit of a side hobby because an empirical regularity is that if I'm talking to somebody about, oh, you work at the Fed. What do you do? I almost always tell them I work on cash because nobody wants to hear about the other stuff. Let's face it. Nearly every time I start talking about cash, they will tell me a story about their mother, their brother, their whoever who's got a shoebox full of cash.”

“In Tennis Channel, we're talk we're going over, like, top five clay quarters right now on the women's side. And I didn't have Iga in my top five, and I kinda got some, like, pushback from it because of her clay court results the last five years. She's been the best over the last five years. But right now, like, she's not like, do you guy and I preface that as, like, I think, like, confidence is the most important trait in tennis. Like, she came into Madrid not having made a semifinal.”

“Alcarz hits a well-located forehand inside out. center tracks it down in his deep backhand corner. Carlos is in a great position here. He runs around for a forehand and he opts for a drop shot inside out. Theoretically, he's trying to hit this behind Yannik Center. He tried to go behind sinner, but actually behind sinner didn't exist. There was no behind sinner because he hadn't yet gotten into the court enough yet. So essentially what I mean is the whole court was in front of sinner. There was no behind.”

“So the interesting thing about the COVID episode was that in the very short run, so, like, say, the first three months, about a third of the demand was foreign. About a third was domestic, and about a third was just banks loading up their vaults to the ceiling. And to me, that was entirely understandable. Right? I mean, we really had no idea. And certainly, if you were trying to fill ATMs, you had no idea whether if you were a bank, you didn't want your ATMs to run dry.”

“The lesson of the Red Sea and the lesson so far in Hormuz is that, you don't have to hit every ship. You don't have to hit even 1 percent of ships. You just have to hit a ship now and then to make people not want to fully return to this environment.”

“I will find out what's going on. They're militarily defeated, and now, we're gonna open up the Gulf with them with or without them. But that'll be open. We're gonna be, or the straight as they call it. And I think it's gonna go pretty quickly.”

“S's first serve percentage would be the worst it's been since the US Open. in this stretch of time where S has made 67% of his first serves over um I'll give you the number of matches over 47 matches he's made an average of 67% he had his worst performance of those 47 matches today in Monte Carlo against the only real peer he has on tour and he still won in straight sets. By the way, quick note, can you guess what the second worst percentage serve performance was for Yannik? That would be the ATP finals against Carlos Alcarez. So, the two times he's played Carlos, those have been his two lowest first serve percentage matches.”

“Hodar is the story of the tournament. Right after that match, we're on the desk, and I asked Courier and Goodall. I'm like, is Hodar the main attraction at the tournament right now with Alcaraz? Not there. And they're like, absolutely, he is. Like, more so than center. You know, he's obviously from Spain, but it's so rare that, a player this is his first time playing Madrid. And he steps on the court. He's center court. He's night match every night, and he's the main attraction of the Madrid master series.”

“So Tether seems to be and stablecoins in general seem to be, yeah, a way to execute payments across borders. So people working as translators for somebody in another country, they get paid in stablecoins or the stablecoins of the vehicle. So they do seem to be sort of like cash, but more mobile.”

“The longest winning streaks on the men's side in the Masters one thousand's history. We've got a bunch of big names. We got the longest streaks are Novak with 31, Novak with 30, Roger with 29 in a row, and Sinner right now actively has 24 wins in a row. I don't see this stopping anytime soon. I see him eclipsing. I see him winning Madrid, winning Rome, and being the the guy with the longest win streak.”

“I also think at some point, maybe not this time, but in the next couple of iterations of this, we're going to get a change of regime in Iraq. At that point, Hormuz won't just be better, it will be awesome. We won't have a webisode like this ever again. I think it's about getting through, it's darkest before the door. We're probably not going to see a change of regime this exact time, maybe. We could still, but the regime is circling the drain faster than it was before this crisis, I think.”

“I kind of do mind the 50 unforced errors from Alcarez because Carlos has the option to just play like a backboard, to trust your legs to keep you in points, to attack patiently and selectively to make sure that you're not overplaying in conditions where it's going to be really difficult to feel the ball and time the ball. Carlos played this way in the Australian Open final against an attacking player in much faster conditions and the roof was closed. They were indoors. So in much more offense friendly conditions, Alcar showed on that occasion, I'm willing to actually win this match with my legs.”

“The rest of Madrid, the the Americans, pretty pretty poor, tournament for the Americans. We have none left. Correct? Correct. You know who the real winner is of the Americans in Madrid? It's Francis Tiafoe for not playing. For for not playing. Taylor Fritz. Him and Fritz for not playing, just being home, skipping it. I mean, Fritz is, you know, coming back from injury for but for Francis, it seems like he just skipped it, and it's like, that's great.”

“And I was introduced to cash at that point because, true story, they had just started this project, and they needed somebody. They needed an economist to go to Belarus in December. And I was not yet at the Fed. And one of my colleagues and MIT classmates said, well, how about that woman who's coming soon? She said she likes to travel, and she speaks Russian. She can go to Minsk in December. And there you have it.”

“It may not have been pretty, but I bet you that what Center's team will be telling him, and maybe Yanuk doesn't even need to be told this, he should be extra proud to scrap out a win against Carlos Alcarez while playing less than his best tennis on Alcarz's favorite surface. That should be a point of pride for Yannik Center and for Carlos. Plenty of improvements to attempt to make moving forward.”
