@DJ5CW I bet the cover photos are from qrz.com/db/KM4AHP 😃

@AJ9BM It's a LimeSDR, though if I remember correctly, the case is from a 3rd party vendor. (And the holes for the fan were added later by me.)

If I had to decide again, I would go for a Adalm Pluto now because it can directly talk to an ethernet dongle so I can drop the PC in that room.

@theory Yes, but that's not the actual version number of the extension...

@theory It doesn't like my version numbers:

Field /version: "7.10" is not a valid semantic version [Spec v1.0.0]

@tk False decodes happen... if you feed enough noise into any decoder, it will eventually see messages that pass the error correction code.

You’ve probably seen a Shive wave machine even if you didn’t know its name. The inventor, Dr. J.N. Shive of Bell Labs has a legendary video using the wave machine to demonstrate the concepts of impedance, standing waves, SWR, and more.

It is a classic and highly recommended. Even if you are already very comfortable with the topics, it’s a fun and nostalgic video.

@croyle wsjtx does not read out the power setting from the radio because there's this power slider at the lower right of the UI and it's completely unpredictable how much output TRX power+audio level will generate. The user can enter the value manually when logging a QSO.

@thejvmbender If you run `\dt *.*` in psql, you will also see a number of tables in the system catalog of that "empty" database.

It's important to have a sense of perspective when everything is so divided...

#Photography #Netherlands

A photo looking down a road showing perspective. The right edge of the road provides a perfect vertical line for the lower half of the image. The boundary of the road and the field marks a segment approximately one eighth of the way round the image. A grass pasture behind the trees is the next 8th. The top left quarter is sky behind the trees, and tree canopy. Top right quarter is half sky, and half the trees on the other side of a canal. The bottom right quarter is half Amsterdam rijn kanal with a cargo boat steaming away from the camera, the other half is made of grass verge with an Armco barrier.
