Slightly longer form blog on recent #8m experiments:

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.

Found something very useful -- a site with a collection of creative commons #science & #math texts. Some quite old but still excellent.

http://www.vias.org/

Some good coverage of #valve #electronics (it's not easy to learn about these days), and the #radio #antenna book has some very useful info: http://www.vias.org/radioanteng/

Pro-tip: assume every Micro-B USB cable is a power-only cable until proven otherwise. I was sure I bricked my Airspy R2 SDR receiver, swapping in multiple different cables, different laptops, operating systems etc. Turns out every cable I picked up was for power only, even though I "knew" they were all data cables.

tl;dr: #USB

Interesting #fosdem lightning talk - https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/gitlab_forge_for_teachers_and_students_in_france/

A gitlab forge for all teachers & students in France, supported by the Govt. I can't imagine what it would take to see something like this in Australia.

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

Can we embed videos here? Here's some nice #winlink activity, getting 3230 bps on 30m, over a distance of 400km. The 2750 Hz bandwidth is nice if your rig supports it!

Are you someone who has a simple fix for something in the Linux kernel, but haven't bothered submitting a patch because you find the email workflow daunting? Can be a bugfix, spelling correction, anything at all.

If so, I want to talk to you! I have tools that simplify this process quite a bit, but I need more feedback from people who aren't long-term Linux maintainers.

Please reach out, either via here or by emailing mricon@kernel.org.
