Don’t forget! The submission deadline for #oshwa 2024 in Montreal is DECEMBER 17th. That’s under two weeks away! I’m a bit talked out at the moment, what with preparing to teach next semester, but I am planning to submit for an exhibition table; I hope to see y’all there!! RT’s welcome for reach; want to make sure we get this CFP out to our broader community :) https://2024.oshwa.org/submit-a-proposal-talks-and-workshops/

Finally recovered from the amazing, jam-packed #OpenHardwareSummit #oshwa weekend! Such a blast, but between prepping for and then leading a workshop, helping friends with stuff and just running around constantly, my body feels like it's been running a 5K a day since this time last week. Some brief notes. First off: if we connected this past weekend and I don't follow you here, please @ me! And if you did the Open Book workshop, here are some notes on the object you made: https://www.oddlyspecificobjects.com/projects/openbook/

We did our 1st online open wave-receiver workshop last night for the excellent folks at @oshwassociation #OpenHardwareSummit in NYC.

Georgia + Hannah talked people through things, Brigitte + Alyssa were testing & listening in their local neighbourhoods at night/amongst stinging nettles.

A new experience not being in the room w people to workshop ideas + testing but as always soooo great to see how different minds make different radios 💘💘

Alyssa’s open wave-receiver can be seen from above with her mounting board on some gravel and next to some stinging nettles. Alyssa’s hand is holding a wire-connection on her radio where crocodile clips are connected to her antenna which trails off to the right and into the stinging nettles.
Brigitte is standing over a black car bonnet at night time, where her open laptop and Open Wave-receiver are resting. She is participating in the workshop presentation from this position. Behind her is a large tree surrounded by bushes and a white curly antenna wire is trailing upwards to where it connects with an old and high-up vintage sign. On this occasion she is using a crack in the concrete below where the tree is growing from to be the ground of her radio circuit.
The workshop participants, lots of whom are wearing protective face masks, are sat in a room with lots of desk space to make their radios. They are all sat around a central work space filled with tools and radio components and are probably at the stage of winding their radio coils around toilet rolls which is usually the longest and fiddliest part of the process.

Had a blast doing some live listening/tuning/testing w Shortwave Collective for the 2023 Open Hardware Summit in NYC last night.

I was nestled between car bonnet, bins & bushes of North London with my DIY radio receiver + trusty pencil/razor diode combo at the helm… Attempting to use this beautiful old sign as my antenna…

A really impressive black and white metal sign from the 1930’s for the Smithfield Refrigerator Works in London. The huge sign sits above an alley and is semi-attached to an Victorian pub built in 1890. Tinysound was trying to use this sign as an antenna extension for her radio receiver. The sign also has a huge tree shading it.
