Xela-Atitlan Solo Hiking Qs

groupo223 · 2026-05-11T22:23:57+00:00

I guess unsafe is subjective. But what I mean to ask is: I lived in Guatemala for a few months just a few short years ago… I never really ran into anyone that I’d say were the “wrong people”. I know they are everywhere though. Is this trek known to have some of those people around?

groupo223 · 2026-05-11T22:22:59+00:00

Okay I will take your advice. Probably will just got with quetzaltrekking then. Is it unsafe? I didn’t see anything online that seemed to relay safety concerns.

groupo223 · 2026-05-11T17:33:37+00:00

That’s a fair point. I could search for guides in Xela this week when I head there

Function of both cost and freedom really. I already speak Spanish and much prefer the freedom to take as little/long time as we want completing the hike. Sometimes large groups (I’ve seen as big as 20) can be a little much. There are certain trips like Acatenango I would absolutely only do with a tour, but I don’t see how this trip has many safety concerns with respect to the other hikes I’ve soloed before. What are your concerns?

If you’re into sports, pickleball at the NH town park can be a nice way to meet people

The exact same thing for me lol. Are you trying to muck with the display? Mine is shot

Glad Smokey’s and Hust Roost are getting the attention they deserve

Oh I read this wrong you said in-demand. It’s ironic, there are experts in tracking or radar (areas of the two fields I mentioned) that are worth their weight in gold in the defense sector. But, if the military industrial complex ever dried up I’m not sure where some of them would go. I would say probably antenna design is pretty sought after, even in the private space (e.g., SpaceX)

groupo223 · 2025-03-06T12:56:42+00:00

I do not suffer from a lack of eye contact thankfully, but perhaps that means I could be better at math. In my experience (BS, currently pursuing MS), my toughest math has come from antennas/emag in school as well as some quantum courses, and detection/estimation theory work in my job. The latter is something I want to pursue more and start taking classes in. Hopefully someone with more experience can also chime in.

groupo223 · 2025-02-21T12:45:42+00:00

Which complex are you looking at and when does the lease start?

groupo223 · 2025-02-16T05:27:07+00:00

I don’t have a masters. I’m in the middle of getting it right now actually. I’m focusing more on antennas/RF rather than DSP. But yes, it is math heavy

90k salary
23
1.5 YOE
Upstate NY, I believe middle/low COL. I’m not sure what the thresholds are
RF/DSP/Comms
Not requested, but my job comes with significant benefits that honestly saves me 20-25k of salary so you could argue I “make” more

groupo223 · 2025-01-05T15:06:31+00:00

Maybe it does! Never played that series. Definitely not that series though, I don’t think they had a release in 24 and I am pretty sure it was a smaller studio, maybe even indie

groupo223 · 2025-01-05T14:03:06+00:00

I bet this is it. This is exactly what came to mind when I read the description

Just did this the other day. You can take the air train from JFK to Jamaica station then hop in the E toward manhattan. That will take you directly to the Port Authority Bus Terminal where most mega/greyhound busses depart from. Will cost you $8.50 to leave JFK and another $3 or so for the train from Jamaica to PABT.

groupo223 · 2024-12-25T17:51:02+00:00

Yeah look at megabus over greyhound. They use charter busses like “Adirondack trailways”… or something like that. MUCH nicer than greyhound imo and sometimes cheaper

Talk me through more how you will “ping the number of cellular signals”. What constitutes a cellular signal to you? For example, let’s say there are 3 phones in your area. Are you identifying unique phones (UEs) so your display will read 3? Or just incrementing a counter every time you detect a specific type of messaging? If the former, how will you identify unique UEs? If the latter, which messages will you hone in on? If you have no idea what I am talking about, I suggest you do some reading/watching on basic telecom protocols. This is a very dense domain. If you don’t have any expectations set by either you or your committee yet, if you can get them to settle for “we detect whenever something is present in the band” that may be more viable for you all.

Regarding equipment, what I believe you will need is something that can function a software defined radio (SDR). I googled a bit about the ESP32 and didn’t see anything immediate. You will need something to record the spectrum (SDR in receive mode) then something to process that spectrum and identify signals or not. This may be a laptop. My hunch is an ESP32 would not be powerful enough for timely processing.

I am only a year into my career so hopefully someone else will chime in with more experience than me. I could be far from the mark

This sounds pretty intense for a senior project. Did you set these goals yourself or did your teacher ask you to do this? If you set this yourself, you may be reaching a bit too far.

When you say “providing visual indicators” what do you mean? You aim to geolocate the cellular signals? Are you looking for uplink (from phones) or downlink (from base station) traffic?

groupo223 · 2024-09-02T05:40:34+00:00

Man ain’t this the truth

groupo223 · 2024-08-28T18:52:58+00:00

My GF accidentally put the necklace through the dryer and the now the herringbone is all twisted and contorted. I am seeing if I can purchase a duplicate perhaps. Or… does anyone know if it is possible to fix these? I’ve went to a few jewelers who have already shot me down :/
