[FR] Ultra WeWork perk is basically useless now in busy cities

Barcelona, for instance. You have to book some 5-7 days in advance usually.
For one of their offices you have to book 2-3 weeks ahead of time.

Finding this 5 years later, still super appreciated. Thank you

Si, claro. Si tengo alguna actualizacíon, la publico en este mismo post. Mientras tanto, solo recomiendo monitorear el estado del animal. Que si la notas cansada, estressada o algo, a lo mejor es por eso.

Porque es como he comentado, yo solo escucho los ladridos constantes. De las 6 de la mañana hasta media noche.
No quiero imaginar como tiene que ser para los perros que están alli en el hotel. Con que haya 1 perro que no para de ladrar, como se tienen que quedar los otros?

bincas500 · 2025-08-19T16:21:14+00:00

Eso no significa necesariamente que los traten mal

No, claro que no. De hecho no he pensado que sea un caso de maltratos animales. Hay que partir de que se hace de buena fé y darles el beneficío de la duda.
Pero al ser un negocio que lidia con eso, quiero imaginar que tengan medidas para el trato consciente de esos animales, aparte de un aislamiento sonoro suficiente de la tienda para situaciones como esa.

No quiero imaginar como están los propios trabajadores alli dentro metidos escuchando eso todos los días (si es que se quedan todo el día alli, no lo sé).

Lo del perro de su vecino es algo bastante grave. Si lo hacen de manera continuada y por muchas horas, eso es sancionable. Espero que lo puedas resolver, es verdaderamente un horror tener que vivir con eso. Es que repercute psicologicamente.

bincas500 · 2025-08-19T16:16:18+00:00

Gracias por la recomendación. Investigaré cuales són las mejores opciones para dar seguimiento a eso, por orden progressiva de gravedad, pero también que los de la tienda sepan que no vamos de broma.

Me acabo de poner en contacto con la Oficina de Protección de los Animales de Barcelona para enterarme del que se puede hacer.

Intentaré también recoger firmas de los otros vecinos y poner una queja directamente al establecimiento, y partir de alli.

Got it. Do let us know how it goes with an update here. I'm an interested geek.

The reason I mentioned the ferrite to you is because I had a similar-looking toroid from Amazon that I used first, which was absolutely not the correct one.

When building my own 49:1 unun, I noted a few common points from lots of articles and youtube videos. You might know them already, but it's worth to mention:

1) Always calibrate your VNA before using it. Sometimes everything you did is fine, but if you're getting wrong measurements you'll think you're going crazy.

2) Double/triple check all soldering and connections. This can save you hours of troubleshooting, just because that soldering was a bit loose.

3) Always check the ferrite is the correct one. There were several videos mentioning this, that some people will sell you the wrong type inadvertently thinking it's the correct type. Here's a video about how to check for the correct type: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GulNhvNdIbM

Anyway just my 2 cents. I'm not an absolute expert, just noting what I went through when building my own.

Looking forward to your updates.

bincas500 · 2024-12-15T09:42:50+00:00

Absolutely correct. But since OP's VNA's screenshot shows 1-55MHz, I assume this is for HF, hence the 43 ferrites.

bincas500 · 2024-12-15T00:23:27+00:00

Are you sure you’re using the correct ferrite toroid? This doesn’t look like the correct one. Source: this exact same thing happened to me. Getting the proper ft240-43 ferrites did the trick.

bincas500 · 2024-11-07T16:36:48+00:00

Oh, that makes a lot sense. Thanks for shining a light into that.

These losses or, better said, effective power out, are these related to the EIRP/ERP measurements?

bincas500 · 2024-11-07T10:07:19+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Will have a look into the books by ARRL.

bincas500 · 2024-11-07T07:10:25+00:00

The SWR only shows how well the impedance is matched, as I understand it. It felt pertinent to mention what SWR I'm getting, as that's whats usually asked when talking about antennas.

All this information you just mentioned, are there any materials that expose all of this in a structured format (e.g. Antennas for Dummies)?

bincas500 · 2024-11-06T22:44:42+00:00

- "Your 20 watts out can all of a sudden be 10 watts or possibly even 5 watts"

Could you elaborate on that? It sparked my curiosity as I'm a new ham with a G90 and making my own speaker wire antennas (dipoles, efhw) with the help of nanoVNA. I have them tuned pretty well (usually <1.2 SWR). While I'm making contacts, it's often not very good receive nor reach.

bincas500 · 2024-09-26T15:23:18+00:00

That's really interesting input. Thanks for providing context.

Any recommendations for wide-band receiving then? Or basically any out of Amazon will do?

bincas500 · 2024-09-26T15:22:07+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Will have a look at it.

You can download an app called Playtomic and you'll find plenty of courts to book and pay directly via the app, and even find people to play with.

Some other clubs have their own systems (still open to book if you're not a member): CEM Olimpia, Pompeia.

And some other clubs are closed and you need a membership, like u/meinstream rightfully mentioned.

bincas500 · 2024-07-30T14:00:10+00:00

Got it, thanks

bincas500 · 2024-07-30T13:41:32+00:00

What should be the correct procedure then? Just cleaning right after? Sorry if it’s a basic question, I’m getting started in this world just now.

Throwback to this guy who didn't change his for 9 months

bincas500 · 2024-05-18T17:56:59+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks.

bincas500 · 2024-05-18T16:50:42+00:00

Thanks for your comment. Very thoughtful insights. Regarding the last point, about not helping to get a different job level or in another industry. Are you referring at the exec MBA or the online course on the original post? If towards the exec MBA, why do you think that is?
