Since you say you are US based you have 2 options

  • Simply passing in which case you can use hamstudy and associate answers to questions you don't understand.
  • Study, learn and understand the material : refer to the W4EEY channel on YouTube. Best content for the US licence.

I bought Boost for Lemmy on day 1 and come once in a while but let's be honest people haven't migrated off Reddit (and likely never will ) so outside of a few very specific subs there is barely anything for me to read over here...

For anyone interested in satellites and especially weather satellite decoding, Satdump just got some great improvements.

Using DAB / DAB+ to check propagation with Welle.io (sh.itjust.works)

With DAB and DAB+ now widely available in Europe it's really easy to leverage it to check propagation. Every couple of hours I run a quick scan accross all of the multiplexer to see the ones I pick up. DAB / DAB+ in Europe operates mostly on VHF Band III between 173-230 MHz making it a good indicator about the propagation on 2m. I use welle.io as a software with an RTL-SDR v3 screen and a simple home made vertical dipole cut for 2m and that's plenty to catch stations about 200 Km away on a daily basis.

Et comme par hasard c'est un Polonais qui gagne l'étape d'aujourd'hui du Tour de France au Grand Colombier !

Après c'est tout de même rare d'aller se baigner avec son téléphone. Je suis peut être un peu vieux jeux mais j'évite d'approcher tout appareil électrique d'une source d'eau.

I'm starting to get sick of YouTube everything in c/amateur_radio@sh.itjust.works

Couldn't agree more. When something as simple as building a dipole turns into a 20 minutes video there is clearly something wrong...
