You'd better believe that I am hitting them up as hard as I can to see if they need any engineering help, equipment or other resources.

This would be a great resume item.

e: gently caress, they may not be up by the time i'm moved. Still, good opportunity to reach out

It's hard to take iphone pics of the night cockpit but this gives you an idea
seat moved back 6 inches from normal so you see my view and how the icom's viewable through the wheel

the icom's mic hangs right below the display but it's hidden by the wheel right here

Oh and a ham satellite had a really close call, passing only 185 meters from one of those thousands of dead Soviet satellites

make sure to go to http://websdr.org/ there's a bunch of other similar ones, though what you linked to is the original and seems to be a bit fancier maybe (also apparently the SDR there is a custom one he designed and built himself, yowza)

kinda cool how u can radio without a radio thanks to the internet. gonna try to listen to some psk31 chats on one of these things

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
here's how i'd tune in psk31 with a web SDR if you don't have a "what you hear" input device btw:

-install virtual audio cable and create at least one cable
-set your windows audio default output to the audio cable
-start the Repeater program that comes with VAC and start a repeater with the VAC input and your actual sound card as output
-set up MultiPSK or whatever program, set it to listen to the VAC
-go to the sdr page and the audio should go both to MultiPSK and your speakers

stop the repeater if you want to keep monitoring but don't want to hear it. you can do PSK31 deaf after a little bit of practice

this is what I do pretty much full time with SDRsharp, so I can just fire up DSD or PDW (pagers) or MultiPSK and peep the digital noize

dude is a whiz, and it really shows how simple these are. ADC into an FPGA. thats pretty much it. I don't know a god drat thing about FPGA's though so I don't know how he's utilizing it

i'm really impressed with his active antenna's performance and it is SO COOL to be able to listen to longwave broadcasts, we don't get poo poo in NA there, it's just noise.

yeah that antenna seems really interesting, turns out I have most of the parts except that JFET either here or at work

gonna try the cantenna solution, I have an aluminium project box of just the right size with plastic endplates

FCC punks CB amp vendor

http://www.arrl.org/news/view/fcc-cites-new-jersey-cb-shop-for-marketing-unauthorized-rf-devices

quote:

Last October an agent from the FCC Enforcement Bureau’s Philadelphia office browsed the website of the online retailer of CB and Amateur Radio gear. The agent “observed for sale 16 makes and models of non-certified RF power amplifiers” capable of operation on both the 11 meter Citizens Band and the 10 meter ham band. The FCC said examples of the non-certified offerings included “the Fatboy 900 Mobile Amplifier” and the “Zombie Products 500 Watt ERP Linear Amplifier.” Neither of those devices and others that the FCC alleges the retailer was marketing, may be offered for sale prior to FCC certification.

Just remembered I strapped a copper J-pole to the chimney of the house I lived in at college. Wonder if it's still there.

If it is I sure as gently caress will climb on the roof of that house and get it.
