did the technician + general yesterday, ended up being pretty straightforward. missed 1 question on the tech and 2 questions on the general. for the tech i read the arrl book and used hamexam/hamstudy for practice. a couple nights before the test i was doing well enough on the tech questions that i started cramming for the general too, using a draft copy of the no nonsense guide that the author had apparently forgotten to take down? between the methods, i think the no-nonsense guide was very effective in terms of effort/outcome -- it only mentions the correct answers so when youre taking the test you can just select the options that sound vaguely familiar and theyll probably be right. for the general id been worried about memorizing the exact bands but it turns out across G1A05-G1A09 you generally just need pick the 2nd highest answer lol

found this thing today after just starting working on a similar thing, turns out someone in west slovenia has been running a network with this for several years i wonder if the 'no trailing zeroes in callsigns' encoding is a problem though, i had gotten around this by having the values start at 1 instead of 0 (base 37) its also unclear how they'd pack a new 7-character callsign into a 32-bit value, given log2(36^7) = 36.2

this stuff can also be useful for closing up gaps/holes, eg at the ends of that pipe (e: though im not sure if it's necessarily weather proof) also (if applicable) make sure you left a drip loop where wires enter the building also also iirc electrical ground is ideally kept separate from antenna ground (it sounded like you put both on the same rods?) but idk im not an electrician Progressive JPEG fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Aug 7, 2016 |

Darkpenguin posted:also, I realize that radios are a bit of an out dated technology, but does every ham site need to look like it was made in 1998? maybe its because the equipment so often looks like it was made in 1958 (like its users L O L)

do antennae need to also be resonant to receive or is that mainly just an issue when sending background: tried connecting a smiley tri-band HT antenna to an airspy while indoors a few days ago, didn't see much beyond my own cellphone's LTE

so is it like there's effectively an SWR (or some representation of 'less efficient') that's facing in the opposite direction from the antenna towards the receiver?

A bunch of white supremacists here in Denver have my callsign and I fear for the future. My callsign is registered against a PO Box which is technically actually my current mailing address, so thats an idea
