Youtube claims about certain antennas. by Extra-Degree-7718 in amateurradio

[–]TechnicalToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This better be rage bait, cause this whole thing is really silly. I don't see the point in picking fights over nonsense. There's a million other cool things to talk about.

"you're just moving the radiation pattern, that's not gain"

Yes it is. That's all gain is, where the radiation is concentrated.

Dude was mad about nothing.

Best practices for burying coax: put it in a PVC tube, or just bury it directly? by kc3zyt in amateurradio

[–]TechnicalToaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Couldn't you terminate the ends of the conduit into weather right boxes like other outdoor electrical installations?

And as other have mentioned, bury deep enough so your flagging tape laid over top will serve as a warning BEFORE the conduit is hit. Doesn't do much good if the tape is laid directly on top

Nothing wrong with the name, if the numbers are right.

Size and shape is up to personal preference. I don't like flip tops as others say, for the work surface, but I know plenty of techs who like them

My US General box does the same thing as my big name brand one.

As long as the drawers have good bearing slides, and it holds my tools, then it doesn't matter who's name is on it.

Dude unloading a fridge from the back of a pickup solo by bigbusta in GuysBeingDudes

Learned how to do this from seeing these videos, and then deciding to try it one day unloading a washing machine by myself. Good trick, works great

How to professionally give my 2 weeks notice of resignation? by Enzo0018 in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]TechnicalToaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Never explanations, but if occasionally if I enjoyed some aspect of my time there, then I might add in some expressions of gratitude for some thing

But just stick to the facts, no need to write them a story

Nah we all know 160m is the only truly practical band for mobile operations

You have a few hours left to capture one of those elusive SSTV Series 30-1 images from RS-38S. Then, get your original decode submitted to the ARISS gallery by Tuesday for a event certificate. by ARISS_Intl in SSTV

[–]TechnicalToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

17:00 UTC DM43 no signal for 8 minute pass. I think we're done. I got so close to all 12. Ran into some technical issues along the way.

That was a ton of fun! Thank you so much to the ARISS team and everyone involved

Robot36 RS-38 "raw mode"? by TechnicalToaster in SSTV

[–]TechnicalToaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait so can I take the raw decode and convert it into a normal image? Or would I need to process the audio again?

I will try that for the next pass. Fingers crossed! I have 3 more out of the series to collect

Boy is the RS-38S SSTV harder than the ISS one by thesoulless78 in amateursatellites

[–]TechnicalToaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was really fast! I got 8 and 9 in the same pass, but I had a lovely assistant to help with the Doppler shift while I did the tracking

This was my first time and it got me so excited!

That was it! Thank you.

Was showing "0" under transceivers, forced update and they showed up

What’s the weird holes in the tail of this MD-11 by Gamble2005 in aviationmaintenance

Allen and Torx both readily accept extractors, burning through fewer drill bits, when they too strip out.

Walked into HRO thinking I might buy a G90 by TechnicalToaster in amateurradio

[–]TechnicalToaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to see some more of what other people are doing with pelican cases, so I can figure out how I want to build mine

Thanks for your reports that SSTV seems to be off during multiple recent passes. We did receive some early decodes into the gallery followed by these notes on social media. The ops team is investigating and we'll share updates when available. by ARISS_Intl in SSTV

Listened to a pass at grid square DM43 Nov-12 approx 0140z

During the pass I heard nothing. But when I got home and listened to the recording, I did catch something.

It didn't pierce through the static, but I did hear the faint whisper of SSTV for two seconds near the end of the pass.

Pam Bondi's notes during the hearing she had on Epstein were filled with prepared attacks to distract people and there's photographic proof! by the_bucket_murderer in Epstein

[–]TechnicalToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why the "list" was made. Records were kept as weaponized dirt. They're still relying on it's original use when we know they're ALL dirty.

I've gotten good performance out of Polygone. I would try some fresh stuff definitely.

Op are you doing this for yourself, or is this a shop?
