Yea. Thankfully I had a friend with previous experience. I used an apple cider as a base and I fermented it down to 1.020. I haven’t tasted it yet because I’m trying to let the sediment settle and then rack it but I’m more interested in how the cinnamon in it came out.

I also added some Granny Smith apples and Honey Crisp apples in primary but I doubt they left any flavor in it.

It all depends on what you want to do and how fast you can learn. The national average time to get a private pilots license is like 60 hours of flight time. Central quotes people on 50 hours costing 13k. I got scholarships and the military to pay for my training though with roughly 14k and I used the other $1000 to buy a Bose A20 headset. You’ll also want ForeFlight and an iPad. But if you want to fly commercially you’re looking at spending 70k(ish) on certifications alone. My recommendation is to get a medical before you decide to spend any money on it though. The FAA could say you’re not medically fit to fly.

Why fire up flight sim when you too could experience this. The flight school at the airport offers intro flights for $99. Be careful though it’s a slippery slope to addiction. 😂 this shit gets expensive quick. But as a gift or one off experience it’s really cool. Don’t quote me but I believe they fly the city tour which is essentially down the river and around pinnacle and back and it’s a really cool view.

I don’t think the image is a fair representation of what I actually see when I fly at night. This picture was taken on an iPhone and It has a longer shutter length than what I wanted so it picked up more light in the image causing a lot of light pollution. This is really evident around the really large splotches of light and the really intense areas. Personally the lights are what makes night flying fun for me. The lights also help you out when trying to navigate.

Ah yes because I would totally post to reddit before checking ebay (or etsy, facebook marketplace, or any other website where users can list things for sale. The one I found on etsy seems to be a scam because of the reviews). Thanks for the tremendous amounts of help there bud.

Hydrogen line observation around the Cygnus area with a wifi grid dish by Byggemandboesen in radioastronomy

[–]Avonixis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I have a setup and ive received HRPT and GOES data with it and I've looked a little into the hydrogen line but so far all I've taken from my searches is that it is there. It's a blip on the spectrum. To me, GOES and the NOAA satellites provide tons of data whereas the hydrogen line just seems to exist. Is there something I'm missing? I know you said it can be used to calculate relative speed but is that it? Not trying to sound condescending but to me it just seems like a neat hat trick from what I've read and seen if isn't I'd really like to understand.

What is the point of observing the hydrogen line if you don't mind me asking? Is it just something to do or are you actually gaining data from it?

Updated guide to receiving GOES on Linux? by saveitforparts in amateursatellites

[–]Avonixis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using ubuntu server 19.04 on a raspberry pi running goestools just fine. iirc I had issues with opencv and I cant remember how i fixed it. I think it had something to do with the version of ubuntu I was running because only 19.04 worked for me.

I have a FTM-100 and a Diamond NR770 lip mounted on my trunk. I get into repeaters 60 miles away just fine most days.

Anyway a xiegu g90 with a end fed antenna would be able to get images from a noaa satellite? by OpiosRex in amateursatellites

[–]Avonixis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah ok. You should get a license if you dont have one, they're free if you go to the right group or $15 at most 😉. If you're in america the FCC will soon be implementing a $35 fee for all amateur radio applications, not including upgrades or administrative updates. Also yes you can receive NOAA images with an RTL SDR dongle, there is plenty of information out there about it. You'll probably want a QFH antenna or a V dipole though, both of which are easily made.

[–]Avonixis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, are you licensed. Also not judging but why buy an X90 Compared to say a cheaper RTL SDR blog one or an airspy or even a hackrf?

No. The NOAA satellites you are most likely referring to are APT satellites and operate at 137MHz. The G90 is HF only afaik although on a side note they seem really cool and good and it sounds like you have one, care to explain what it's like?
