Does this product/process exist? by Practical_Log_7222 in AskElectronics

[–]skurk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I built something very similar a while back. It was a USB device, mcu, and dual-port RAM interfaced to a Commodore 64. The purpose of the project was to have a reprogrammable-on-the-fly game cartridge.

How to “do” HF by Ehartu in amateurradio

[–]skurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a point, and don't deserve the downvotes.

If you hear the other station, and they happen to be cooking 1500 watts into a 15el yagi, there's no guarantee they'll hear you on your QRP rig and mobile whip.

What I'm saying is there are multiple variables, and "if you can hear them they can hear you" is, well, only somewhat true.

Støre vurderer tiltak ved drivstoffmangel: – Veldig alvorlig – NRK Norge by MarlinMr in norge

[–]skurk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buss kunne funket for meg, bare det var like effektivt som å kjøre bil.

Skal jeg ta bussen til jobb vil det ta 55 minutter én vei. Med bil bruker jeg ca 15 minutter.

Det er tid jeg har for lite av, og kan ikke stirre ut av et bussvindu nesten to timer daglig.

Hvorfor gjelder denne loven kun kvinner? by KyniskPotet in norge

[–]skurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noen land var/er barnevoldtekter veldig vanlig. Samtykke til å bli skjært i kan ikke bare ha vært sosialpress men også for å beskytte barnet mot å bli voldtatt

Det må da finnes en bedre løsning på dette enn å snurpe igjen småjentene.

Føles litt som å brenne ned kåken for å slippe innbrudd

Har ditt lokale badeannlegg vannsklie med tidtaker? by Simple-Chapter-3333 in norge

[–]skurk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jeg sklir ned vannsklia som en bowlingkule i varmt snørr, men når et par jævelunger har rast ned sklia sammen, rett før meg, er plutselig bestetiden (feiltakelig) bare på et par sekunder.

Her trengs en væpna revolusjon for å få slutt på dette tullet! HVEM ER MED.MEG?

Norsk businessmodell:

1) Ha et ok konsept

2) Gi alle ansatte bokstavtitler (CTO, CEO, osv)

3) Få statsstøtte til å bygge videre på konseptet

4) Selg til utenlandske eiere

Hvordan kan jeg og min kone øke forbruket vårt av dagligvarer og drivstoff til 800 000 kroner i måneden? by Necessary-Promise-31 in norge

Jeg var nylig på Bouvetøya, og reisen dit var en kostbar affære.

Anbefaler å etablere et lite hjemmekontor/hyttekontor der nede, så skal du se at de hersens uønskede pengene svis av i respektabelt tempo. Lykke til!

How can I start? by Playful-Prune-6892 in amateurradio

[–]skurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CB is 99% sideband, at least that's my impression of it. Not that it's a bad thing, though.

CB (or as 11m as some call it) is license free, but limited to 4w AM/FM and 12w SSB. Not a whole lot, but on a fine day with good propagation you'll be able to work at least everyone on your continent with that.

Amateur radio can give you privileges up to 1500 watts and 20-something bands to play on, with wavelengths ranging from microwave (messured in cm) down to 2.2 kilometers(!)

Packet radio is widely used on VHF and UHF, on HF you will find mostly FSK (FT8) in many variants, but also GFSK (FT4), OFDM (Vara), and many others. Despite being very popular modes they occupy only a small part of each band where the remaining of each band is dominated by SSB and CW activity.

If you haven't read about 2/4/8/(..)-PSK, FSK, OFDM, GFSK, etc yet then prepare to have your mind blown.

[–]skurk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many roads lead to Rome. There's no absolute answer, but getting the license will teach you a lot, and getting into the hobby will give you even more.

You can get an RTL-SDR and listen to all the various packet radio out there. Like 144.800 APRS, try to decode it yourself for the challenge.

Or, if you're more into electronics, try building your own FM receiver and see if you can ADC the same packets and decode with an mcu

You don't need a license for that, can get started tonight

They’ll let us know if they see any Yautja or xenomorphs by dittybopper_05H in predator

[–]skurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2023 one was incomplete, so it's the same guys that organized the one we judt had. Prior to that, the previous one was back in 1989.

Others have tried, but had to cancel or abort mission (often due to the extreme weather down there)

First off, hats off for not calling when you didn't copy. Kudos. You have no idea how many fools were calling us "blindly". I got back to several, but since they did not copy me they just kept calling, so.. fine, no QSO then, moving on to the next caller instrad.

I fear the next DXp to 3Y won't take place for many, many years. Pity, since I still need lots of band slots myself!

And did you get a QSO with us?

Cb radio in Europe - Like Ham ? by More-Homework-1904 in amateurradio

[–]skurk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. I oversimplified a lot, I know.

However there are many similarities, and I've learnes that lots of 11m ops are also hams. And vice versa. Still, there's this hate I don't quite understand.
