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

@LWN I really need to adjust the fonts on this thing

@monsieuricon @corbet would certainly save many years or decades

@abortretryfail very little these days on the amateur bands. ALE is more about automating HF and somewhat antithetical to most ham use. It is used in EMCOMM and land mobile, but generally on non-Amateur networks like SHARES.

The antenna is the simplest version of http://hflink.com/antenna/#ATU

Needs to be broadband and capable of fast frequency change (either via an ATU or inherent broadband design).

I'll be testing this on the HFN network over the weekend.

@corbet yep, the enshittification is underway

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?

@adamcsmith the Wellbrook loops seem to be sold out.

@adamcsmith I've been thinking about getting one as a separate RX antenna in high noise environment. Need to accelerate that. And yes, I've noticed that if there's just one station in a region receiving my WSPR signal, it is often using a Wellbrook.

Finally learning #gnuradio. It's amazing.

@vk6flab Look at the footnotes, especially 150. Why this is not called out explicitly in the national regs is unclear (FCC does the same here -- you need an army of lawyers for this stuff).

@vk6flab That is bananas. I've been out of .au for a few years now so didn't know this. All of the VH5A* entries in ACMA are for commercial or govt users in SA. One close callsign is the Bureau of Meteorology, so I was wondering if it was them monitoring for space weather.

@vk6flab I don't see it listed in the ACMA database. Could be a made up callsign for rx only.
