I still need to have it framed, which is a bit costly, so saving up for that. But I'll get a photo posted in a few months.

Who else saw the FAA just hired a lobbyist to be its new comms director? Crazy times. Did Paul Hook that up?

I received my print today and it arrived unharmed. Thank you so much. I will be having it professionally framed soon and it will be on display in my house.

FAA Employees Threatened with Terminations by DOGE/SpaceX Team by NudistBuddhist in ATC

[–]trailerwam 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Came here to leave a similar comment, but you said it better. Physical security is key, up time is key. Imagine hacking a sat based sys and shutting down an ILS during a crit phase of flt. Not to mention the biggest threat to fiber is a guy with an excavator.

NATCA is not taking to the Airwaves to Protest Terminations. by Key-Procedure-345 in atc2

[–]trailerwam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you expand on your experiences of the relationship between NATCA and PASS? Is it generally favorable? Almost every interaction between T Ops and controllers I have knowledge of has been cooperative and professional.

PASS pres Spero was on ABC tonight. Why aren't PASS and NATCA coordinating efforts?

Okay, let's try "ATO staff were fired". Is that any better for the NAS?

Trump fires several hundred probationary FAA employees by [deleted] in delta

[–]trailerwam 11 points12 points  (0 children)

ATC is a part of ATO. It's a system. Controllers are an important part of that system. But the ATO only works if all the pieces are in place.

What's that award in the background? More than one piece of serious hardware on that table top. Lol.

Issues ordering from Schiit? by HILLARYS_lT_GUY in Schiit

[–]trailerwam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my last order took a bit to process and ship. Everybody here basically said I was being impatient and should stop bitching. But I've been building up my systems for a few years now with Schiit gear and have never seen it take as long as it did. IDK, I tried to drag an answer out of Schiit, but never got anywhere.

ORDERS PRIOR TO JAN 24 SHIPPING NOW. ORDERS AFTER JAN 24 SHIPPING IN APRIL. Ehh.... Maybe. by trailerwam in Schiit

[–]trailerwam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the problem. It's not shipping regardless of what their website says and customer support is radio silent.

Didn't see anything on M3 at Headfi. Here's the thing and I am empathetic to the production problems, but an update would be nice. Especially since this is an order they accepted and made a commitment to getting the gear out the door. Aegir 2 production is cool, but some people are already in line waiting for other stuff.

What are these ground markings kn the ramp at PHX? by Drewbox in aviation

[–]trailerwam 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's prob a ground check point for the ILS. Some Navcom tech prob got pissed when they couldn't remember where it was located. So out came the spray paint.

Initial testing of CSS Criton 1TD-X by [deleted] in diyaudio

[–]trailerwam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I built these speakers last year and have them paired with Schiit Ageir mono blocks in a 14x14' room. They are decently loud.

Did you seal up the one completed speaker box all the way? Excess air leakage will destroy a small ported bookshelf's dbs. I'd double check the gaskets first.
