I’ve learned just enough #gnuradio to be dangerous. Now monitoring WSPR on two sub-bands of #8m as well as FT8 via an #rtl-sdr. Now if the sun could eject some coronal mass in this direction, that would be super. #hamradio #amateurradio #vhf #wspr

Testing a 2-wire fan dipole on HF, doing some ALE. It’s always fascinating to see physics & information theory working per the math. Anyone else?

Also, a very good signal here from VA2CY up on Île d'Orléans QC, with apparent doppler shift due to the movement of Sporadic E clouds between our stations. If you look closely at the top, there's a very weak trace from another station with some aircraft scatter (no decode). I think that is WM2XCW in Point Roberts,BC near the Canada/US border. ETA: confirmed this is not doppler shift, it's transmitter drift.

I've been monitoring the 8m band recently (yes, 8m!). It's generally an ISM band with some experimental licenses issued in the US, Canada, and other countries, as well as a few amateur allocations in Europe. Some great propagation happening today between Australia/NZ and USA/Canada, on 40.68 MHz.

On a whim I tuned to the 630m band in WSPR, and was surprised to see a couple of stations. I had no idea my system could receive anything on 474 kHz. I think the signal around 1840 Hz baseband is QRSS.

The antenna is just a 100ft dipole fed with ladder line via a 4:1 balun and tuner. I believe the tuner was set for 80m.

This is the Xgecu T48 universal programmer, arrived with a Lunar New Year gift. The T48 supports over 32000 chips, including a bunch that of older MCUs such as the PIC16C*

Friday night fun -- learned how to use BitMagic & Tigard devices with PulseView software to make a logic analyzer. It works!

Kind of wild how you can just walk up to the MI5 HQ in London.

A couple of pages from Alan Turing’s 1940 treatise on the Enigma machine. Is there a important piece of reverse engineering?
