Softare Defined Radios

A while ago I replaced my SDRv3 with a RSPdx and boy it was a big win. I'm in Shoreline WA about 13 miles north of Downtown Seattle, I'm presently receiving KAWS CSN International on 89.1 Mhz from Boise Idaho 494 miles. I've got longer DX's before but only with Sporadic E skip. There is some slow moderate fading but not bad. It's noisy but intelligable. Given there is a mountain range inbetween this is quite a catch. The mountains make troppo unlikely, the lack of serious fading makes sporadic E unlikely. So I have no idea what mode of propagation this is.

Ah mystery solved, they have a translator on the same frequency, 13 watts in Bremerton. That's only 40 miles away, still only 13 watts so not bad.

good to have radio. maybe some day you will transmit to people instructions how to build self-powered generators. if shit will get worst.

@spacedream can only transmit to people if they have a receiver on the same frequency/technology.

here was an interesting piece about radio hacking:
yewtu.be/watch?v=74_N163HyhA
(no actual hacks in there, but a report about it)

then time will come people will figured out, surely. no need even talk about.

but yeh, maybe its time to diy sky scaner to get sats and freqs for sky wifi from ilon(/etc). something inside me telling me its can be used legally even without pay.

so robert can point his spiral antenna to sky maybe then and share internet with neighbors in meshnet. and teach others the same.
@spacedream Ha ha so far skynet doesn't have enough Satellites deployed not to have some gaps in their coverage.
but enough to start interact with them ;) or you just too lazy?
@spacedream There are only so many hours in the day and I have more important things to spend my money and time on, primarily right now fighting censorship and the US coup.
its surely already on service in your area, why lie?
@spacedream here, the information you need is all in here:
3gpp.org/
read that, and get back to us when you've digested it.
@BR 549 ☎, ty for link, i'll checked later.
@Robert Dinse, sure. i understand.
but soon we will be using complete new technologies, quantum ones. imagine quantum dirac radio communications ;) no matter of distance always with no delay. we got already access to neutrino. anyone can play with it now as diy at home. you sure you still want spend time to fix your old dial-up modem?
@spacedream @BR 549 ☎ Neutrinos have to go somewhat below speed of light as they do have some mass.
@spacedream Yes it's hard to know where technology will go.

so its time to study, back to skool again then! %)
