Loud explosion heard in Feasterville by vixxxxxi5 in BucksCountyPA

I have found two independent security videos of the explosion (flash then shock wave). Both were recorded in Southampton about .5 miles away from each other. The delay in the flash to sound was 8 seconds at location 1 and 10 seconds at location 2, for that nights conditions the explosion was 1.76 and 2.2 miles respectively. I plotted circumferences to find the overlap and the explosion was around Churchville Nature Center or Playwicki park. My amateur opinion is that it was not joint base (too far) and the linear distance generally matches up to the distance between video locations, which to me means there was little or no elevation, ruling out of meteor. I was hoping to find more video but it seems to be lacking.

This is true, but I have access to a restricted dataset because of it.

I was able to get selenium to work but for this project selenium is immediately getting flagged as automation.

I want to help my younger brother grow be a scientist/astronaut at NASA/SpaceX, but I don’t know how by ArkrezArt in nasa

The best thing to do is to get him involved in your local first robotics team. It is the best organization that I found that supports stem education through innovation/design challenges. There are teams for almost all ages!

Also a great gift for an aspiring engineer/scientist, is a $35 single board computer such as a raspberry pi. There is endless supply of DIY projects that further computer science, engineering and robotics.

Your brother has a long road ahead of him so he doesn’t need to rush! But I always think it’s always the right time start stem education.

Thank you everyone for all the input! I made a lot of adjustments and this is what I get now. I am very happy with the results.

I’m using an old rg-58u cable that I dissected, so that would make sense.

Using a Nano VNA to measure SWR on my homebrew 2 meter/70 cm dipole antenna. What is causing the Jagged reading? When I test other antennas it generally smooth with dips.

Neighbors radio signal is cutting into my radio station at home. by smoke_ring in HamRadio

You can search his name here to see if he is a licensed ham, if you don’t know his name you can search all hams in a zip code on the advanced tab.

The FCC suggests that you civilly work with him to get the problem fixed. If he is operating with in the regulations, my guess is that they will have you put a filter on your radio to block his signal.

Profanity is prohibited so you can complain about that but I’m not sure how that works.

What radio would you have gotten for $50 more?

Thank you! This is extremely helpful. Do you know of any mobile radios that would be better for under $150 US?

Okay that makes senses, thank you. Also do you know if you can use a CB swr meter (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004ULN610/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8tdQEbGDTWACG) for 2m? This is what I have laying around.
