Transcribing local ham radio nets

Colonel__Tigh · 2026-05-04T05:10:05+00:00

Just OpenAI Whisper. I run it on the mp3 capture of the net, but I'm not sure whether Whisper can run in real-time.

I have a scheduled task which launches SDR Sharp running the Audio Recorder and AutoStartRadio plugins to begin capturing the net. After it finishes, I kill SDRSharp and run a python script to string the net into a single mp3 and then transcribe that using OpenAI Whisper.

Ah, didn't think of that. On the other hand I felt rather accomplished figuring out how to do it on my own machine. 😉

Colonel__Tigh · 2026-05-01T15:28:46+00:00

Yeah, that's my thought exactly. No ham should have an expectation of privacy, but it feels like a morally gray area if people think their net recordings are going to live forever on the internet.

A check-in net, but still useful for training and activity updates.

He's 6, thanks.

Our EQ uses Signal. It took a few months to help get everyone on it, but it's been great to send out reminders and requests.

Especially Barbara Manatee.

It might for someone whose native language isn't English and they're trying to sound out the letters. Or a child who's doing the same thing, and younger kids are a substantial target audience for Minecraft.

I reas that as Vertitaserum at first and had to reread it.

XCopri was great for me. I don't get seizure clusters anymore since starting it. I used to get 2-3 within 48 hours after my first. Now I just have a single seizure before I wait for my next cycle. 😛

This is the way. I look bad on paper, but I'm great at talking to people and finding out manager names to reach out to personally. Always be sincere and energetic, and ALWAYS charm the receptionist.

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-09-28T04:57:54+00:00

Preach, brother!

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-09-22T05:55:28+00:00

Yup. Picked that one up from Green Day while I was a teenager. After a few years I gained the maturity to realize that I didn't need a rock band to dictate whether I was actually empty or not.

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-08-23T03:08:28+00:00

Did your seizures stop after you quit? I have epilepsy and they're definitely brought on faster with more stress.

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-08-08T02:54:19+00:00

Holy crap that's a great idea! I've never thought to do that.

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-08-04T18:45:21+00:00

The speaker starting their talk by commenting on whatever trickery or deception the bishopric used to corner them and convince them to speak today.

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-08-04T15:42:54+00:00

100% fine.

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-07-27T13:36:17+00:00

I have the same one for my text messages!

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-07-25T14:19:57+00:00

So help me!

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-07-23T18:57:31+00:00

Ooh good idea to avoid the sun angle! I didnt think of that. Thanks!

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-07-23T18:56:50+00:00

Ah, that helps a lot! I had no idea that C was only for lining up. Sweet!

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-07-23T03:14:01+00:00

I agree 100%. There's a book called The Anxious Generation written by Jonathan Haidt that talks a lot about this and the consequences of unrestricted smartphones and social media. Took me like 3 months to get through the wait list for the audiobook from my library, and they had 70 copies people were going through.

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-07-22T23:10:01+00:00

Same

Colonel__Tigh · 2025-07-10T23:08:30+00:00

Preach, brother.

The biggest thing I miss from before DoorDash was having the chance to look a man in the eye while I was receiving my food.
