@mpi_grav also fascinating -- the optimistic articles in that newsletter from 2012, before gravitational waves had been detected. This is history happening right in front of us.

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?

Finally learning #gnuradio. It's amazing.

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.

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.
