I was just watching Titanic and spent 20 minutes looking up the effects of hypothermia and discovering that Jack may have been alive and in stage 3 hypothermia when Rose let go, and because he sank instead of floated, he was in fact alive. It was a fun little time sink. What rabbit holes have you done down recently?
Ham Radio.
It started with a pair of two-way walkies, talking with a friend in the backyard while sitting in my bed and then you’re pointing to satellites and the ISS to download weather and old space images.
I love radio stuff, but I just haven’t dove into Ham yet. That said there a local radio shack with their call signs posted on the window so I might just dig in.
Maybe find my excuse to actually use gnuradio for something.
Sure. Ham people are always open to share their knowledge.
With gnuradio you can download weather imagery with a RTL SDR dongle.
