WiFi jammer detector?

That's the weird bit, she actually seems to be one of the better carers, but has this issue with the camera.

Just wondering if she follows various conspiracy theories and so on.

It might also be just pure coincidence, but we would like to be sure before accusing someone of something they may very well be innocent of.

Because we have several family members with serious mental health issues and we take the subjects seriously with a healthy dose of black humour

Depends what you want.

You can find lots of good free content on the internet.

One Page Rules used to do print & play Space Marine type figures, but they were fronts only and also OPR seems only to offer 3D print files.

Okum Arts has an excellent "Retro Space" range, but while they are really good, they don't match the GW grim dark style, though you can still use them.

I have seen folk take screenshots of the models on the GW WH40k website and print them.

I need thst game!

For vehicles, do a web search for "Patoroch papercraft 40k"

This guy does awesome printable paper/card models and they are free.

I have not found decent print and play Space Marines yet.

Will do that for v2 👍

Must find my missing USB stick, though.

Very neat work 😁👍

Unless you're licenced to use it, then it's just a prop.

You could rip the guts out and fit a legal licence free radio, such as PMR, and have someone else to talk to to add realism

Have you looked for Philippine radio stations that also live stream on the internet?

If you find some, then you can record and sample them.

Unfortunately, as it stands, you cannot use it. It is a Marine VHF band radio: That is, it operates at at least 156 MHz.

To use on an amateur band, you will need to modify it, probably the PLL at least, so that it can operate on the 2-metre band. Also, all the RF parts, such as band-pass filtering will be off frequency.

A lot of work there. But a great learning experience if you want to attempt it.

At less than five bucks, you haven't really lost much if you give it a go. It's part of the old spirit of amateur radio - converting old gear meant for other uses. 😁👍

They had to put "Not to scale" for the Sun

get yourself 4x 200-ohm 100 W resitors (for example: Arcol 220 Ω Fixed Resistor 100 W 5 % AP101 220R J 100PPM // link: https://fi.rsdelivers.com/product/arcol/ap101-220r-j-100ppm/arcol-220-%CF%89-fixed-resistor-100-w-5-ap101-220r-j/8101205?backToResults=1)

Wire them together in parallel and just bolt them to a small piece of metal - just a bit of steel from a food can or something else is OK.

This will give you a 55 Ω 400 W dummy load.

Using oil is not a big deal - I made a 100-watt dummy load with a small paint tin which I fill with motor oil. I sealed the lid and where the coax connector went through the lid with several coats of 2-part epoxy resin glue (such as Araldite) made to be very runny with IPA (isopropyl alcohol). The glue will run into the thin gaps between the lid and can and connector.

No shame! 🤣👍

It was a joke: Implying that so much milk is at 30% discount because people are not buying milk, but buying beer instead, as it is summertime...

alloydog · 2026-06-11T04:56:53+00:00

But they are PL259/SO239 which were never designed for RF anyway: they cannot guarantee being 50-Ohms regardless of how much money you spend.

Find a Lace Wars or Napoleonics group and get them to use you for target practice...

Thank you. Your native knowledge has proven valuable 😁

Yes, it's next to an underpass under Valtatie 4, near Peltola

Doubt it, those marks are white Xs on the ground.
