Oooh, cool, I can get Skew-T plots from local #weather balloons (received off an #antenna on my shed!) Now I have to get @WXFanatic or @ingalls or @lckrohjr one of the other weather experts out here to point me at a tutorial on what these mean 😂
📆 Jul 28, 2023 Operators of the #Voyager 2 #spacecraft 🛰️ sent a series of commands that #inadvertently caused the distant probe to point its #antenna 📡 slightly away from #Earth. As a result, #NASA has lost #contact 📶 with the spacecraft, which is nearly half a century old and presently 19.9 billion km away from the planet.
I'm thinking how to add it to the general grid, how to physically protect it, or maybe store an encrypted archive of messages, or just fill in the code from a regular node and they will not be in the general list, but they will fulfill their function. Need advice on a high good but not expensive Lora antenna that would overcome the range of the area of 5km
So, I was looking for a specific #HamRadio#antenna accessory on Amazon... and this showed up. OMFG^2. Is this a great country OR WHAT?!? 🫡 🇺🇸 (Spoiler: clearly in the “or what” category on this one…). JFC.
Since there is a continual thunderstorm threat today, may as well build an ultra light 28.5' QRP random wire with 26AWG Stealth #diyantenna for use with my Z817 Autotuner and #ft817 plus with #HB1B#amateurradio#hamradio#antenna
Woah, I just created a #Calckey#antenna that combines the local feeds of all the big NZ instances. A very cool way to stay in touch with what's going on in Aotearoa without a big scary algorithm. Adding that as a column in the #deck interface makes my Calckey screen way more relevant than my Mastodon screen was.
The most half-assed antenna I've ever slapped together in a hurry. This yagi. Signal from the radiosonde I was trying to track is absolutely bumping though.
@ruud@paul@dirkpaul@ruud Hoi allen.
Als eerste ééns. Less is more. Maar ik ben eens goed gaan vergelijken naar echt de mogelijkheden die ik mis. Basis is idd het met elkaar kunnen communiceren waar dan ook op de #fediverse
Het zijn meer de opties van #groepen#Antenna (volg lijsten) #opmaak etc Ik ga vandaag opensource-school.nl opnieuw opzetten en geef een seintje. Ik blijf ook bij stelling. Maak twee account op #fediverse en houd dat zo. Maar op dit moment heeft platform #calckey wel mijn hart gestolen als #Twitter en #facebook vervanger
Sitting here & I'm still pissed that #Charter#Spectrum#cableTV is going to stop supporting #CableCards. I've used cable cards for decades with DVR equipment I own
Now they want to force me to rent their equipment & pay for #DVR service
Plus, I no longer will have a copy of the #TVshows or #movies I record on my local computer & media server
This makes me angry, esp since I don't live in an area that gets OTA signals. None. Not one Over the air #TV station, even with an #antenna 30 feet high
The ratio of folks on #bsky using custom domains is really interesting and will get moreso when the 2M reportedly on the waitlist get released. So many wonderful influences of the #fediverse on #Bluesky and that software makes using domains as handles nice and easy. Who knew zany tlds could be so much fun? But of course such a nerdy proto web thing could unexpectedly monetize the great federation. #namespace
