@HopelessDemigod Is this one of those "the flat earth club has members all around the globe" deals?

Let me try.

The Fediverse Hellschreiber Society has members across all instances, from the high heavens to the depths of hell.

The FHS is secret enough that boosting it... oh, I see what you're doing. Fine, can I get #2? I like #hellschreiber and secret societies.

@scott

Hey @loriemerson, any chance you know Neoklis 5B4AZ? I'm a #hellschreiber fan too, but this guy takes the cake. Compiled his own firmware with custom hell glyphs. This is back from two years ago, I think.

QSO is incomplete though.

Satcom Piracy

Last night I witnessed the HELL mode of communication being used by the pro-Ukraine satellite pirates on 245 MHz. The words read better when the waterfall scrolls up the page, so flipping the image makes it more readable! There was a variety of English and Cyrillic messages which were anti-Putin in nature.

Hellschreiber mode as a communications tool has been around since 1929 when it was invented by Rudolf Hell in Kiel (Germany).

I see that the #amateurradio world has a Hell Club contest for a couple of hours this evening (1900z start). Being a member if I remember I'll fire up the rig and see if there's any activity - it's a bit unlikely, but who knows?

I do like a bit of Hellschreiber when I can get it!

Here's an introduction I wrote a few years back:
https://hetranslations.uk/blog/hellschreiber-or-the-devils-writing

#HamRadio #amateurfunk #hellschreiber #hellschrieber

Had a properly successful session on the EU feld hell net this week with the #Meccano #hellschreiber
My new tone generator circuit using the VCO of a 74HC7046 makes a much better signal than my original, largely unfiltered, 555 oscillator lashup, and the group commented how my characters look much better now that I've stretched my pulses a little.

Alas new problems are appearing as the machine starts to wear out from too much use! 😆
The elastic is getting very soft so keys are not always returning properly, and the ever present character drum corrosion issue has been joined by "kapton tape starting to fall off itis".
I was expecting that from the very beginning though, and surprised it held up as well as it has. A few repair patches made with nail varnish last week seem to be working OK, so I will probably go through and use that everywhere bits are starting to peel/falling off.

@ve3qbz
Nothing here. Sorry

#hellschreiber

@ve3qbz @vga256 #hellschreiber is a great mode, I really like it

Meccano-based Hellschreiber Machine https://hackaday.com/2024/07/02/meccano-based-hellschreiber-machine/ #Hellschreiber #amateurradio #RudolphHell #RadioHacks #feldhell #hamradio #meccano

I'd like to say it worked first time, but then I'd have no explanation for staying up until 4AM soldering...
First all-up test of the new feed auto start/stop circuit with the rest of the machine actually connected was successful though 😅
#meccano #hellschreiber

Some traces on my screen, but unable to decode. Sorry.
QRT for now.
Next Time I try CW.

#hellschreiber
#HamRadio

Time to Make some #hellschreiber QSO now.
7089kHz+1500Hz = 7090.5kHz

#HamRadio

Maybe it's time to go to the radio. Some #Hellschreiber or some #CW ?
I need to try the ether :)

#hamradio

@quantensalat
Would be willing to do. #Hellschreiber

I know everything is full of contest, but anyone feel like trying Hell on 20 or 15? I've never done it and it looks fun

@F4JJD Suggestion for more digital modes frequencies:

📻 3.580-3.583 MHz
📻 7.040-7.043 MHz region 1&3
📻 7.070-7.073 MHz region 2
📻 10.142-10.143 MHz
📻 14.070-14.073 MHz
📻 18.103-18.104 MHz
📻 21.070-21.072 MHz
📻 21.085-21.087 MHz
📻 24.920-24.921 MHz
📻 28.070-28.073 MHz
📻 50.305-50.307 MHz

in USB on all bands.
Generally, #PSK31 at the beginning of each frequencies range and #MFSK #Olivia #Hellschreiber ... at the end
