Ham Radio QSO From The Smoke Shack

The flrigWebRemote app allows better iPhone/iPad control of the main things needed on an HF rig to have a rag chew or check into a net. And the RX audio over Opus/ICE is very low latency and clear.

Put Up QR Code Signs For Curious Neighbors

Proof positive that putting the QR code signs on the wall of my shed was not a complete waste of effort.

If they’re curious about the #Mammotion #Luba2 robotic mower slowly scooting across the lawn, I’d enthusiastically help some other overworked fella realize that the amount of time & effort saved by not needing to mow every weekend is absolutely worth a couple grand, easily.

RTTY-like Birdie Every 25kHz Across Entire HF Spectrum And Beyond

Found a birdie this morning. Started as what looked like a RTTY “stuck diddle” in the FT8 waterfall on 10m. So I switched to fldigi to go RTTY eavesdropping to see what’s out there. Every 5 turns of the big knob, I’d find another one. So I did some further investigating.

Well, it’s insane. From the lowest freq to the highest freq I can receive with my Yaesu FTdx3000, it’s there at extremely regular intervals.

But Also Do Some Ham Radio As Long As I’m Out

vert_angle_deg=-9.7 / horiz_angle_deg=1.4

Lost in the woods, I had already tried 146.52 from a couple of the hill tops. A local would be a better way to go, if possible. But honestly, knowing that the MMSN was still going to be out there for another six hours was all the reassurance I needed to stave off panic.
