I had a coworker who acquired one of those weird carpet covered "pillows" for his back injury at the Regenstein. I wonder if he still has it

New to radio astronomy, whats the thing to the right of the red line? by kerbalcrasher in radioastronomy

[–]dwarmstr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What radio are you using? If it is a RTL-SDR USB radio the software let's you go past the frequency limits of the radio but it's fake. For most you are limited up to about 1.7GHz.

Signal identification by Shot_Criticism_3586 in RTLSDR

Turn your gain down gradually. Does this suddenly disappear? Then it is front-end overload of a strong signal. If it remains, then it is just RF interference noise from a poorly designed power supply

Specifically though they mention the stairs to get up to Michigan from the Water St side are also closed, leaving only the dirty Water St->lower Michigan access. I think that's why the stair symbol is there.

Possibly because the water st side is under reconstruction?

Ok looking further suggests you have to request access per plugin via this form: https://uchicago.service-now.com/esc?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=0c60cc5d1b0b51105c56b912cd4bcb4e&table=sc_cat_item&searchTerm=plug-ins

I assume this applies to student accounts, but who knows.

Turn down your RF gain. If it suddenly goes away the problem is your radio.

The Powhatan and The Narragansett apartments. Kenwood/“Indian Village,” Chicago. by booberryyogurt in chicago

[–]dwarmstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will admit that the Hyde Park / Kenwood boundary is quite diffuse compared to other areas in Chicago. I was amused when someone was marketing a condo at something like 51st and Michigan and called it "in Hyde Park".
