LHS Episode #180: Blacklisted
In this episode, Linux in the Ham Shack takes you a journey into sight and sound. Well, mostly sound. Topics include operating below 500kHz, new stuff in WSJT-X, an open letter from a young ham to the curmudgeons in the room, Ham Radio Deluxe being nefarious again, Ubuntu 16.10 with Budgie, a useful Debian utility, contributing to Open Source as a newbie (or oldbie) and much more. We also send our thoughts and condolences to the young daughter, family and friends of Matthew Williams, Lord Drachenblut, KD9BWJ. He passed away much too young on December 6, 2016, after a long struggle against cancer. We miss you, brother.

Segment 5 (Cheryl’s Recipe Corner)
White Christmas Pie
Description
While it has been SEVERAL years since I have fixed this pie, Russ (and my dad) loved it when I was fixing it all the time. It’s a light pie that is perfect for a holiday dinner.
Ingredients
2 baked (8”) pie shells (graham cracker crust works, too)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans are my personal favorite)
1 can (15 oz) crushed pineapple, well drained
1/2 teaspoon pineapple flavoring
1 container (12 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Directions
Combine milk, lemon juice, coconut, nuts, pineapple and pineapple flavoring. Stir in whipped topping and pour mixture into pie shells. Chill for 4 hours. 12-16 servings. Note: One 10" pie crust may be substituted for the two 8" pie crusts. For Christmas, it’s especially festive when you dollop some cherry pie filling on each piece.
