Here are the toots from my Mastodon account. If you’re into ham radio and technology this is a great inclusive server with an awesome mascot called Alex.
I’ve just had the most amazing week at 44con and on the Mastering Container Secuirity Course.
The course was brilliant, and the quality of talks at 44con was awesome.
I even won a GQ electronics geiger counter!
Cheers to @stevelord + the crew for organising!

I still follow people on the “other” site but I’ve basically not looked back and don’t post there more.
Thanks @M0YNG, and here’s to another year 🥂 🍰

Started reading about USB (unified S-Band this time!) as used by the Apollo program. It was pretty advanced and used the 2 GHz band. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_S-band

→ View toot on mastodon.radioHad a quick go with a mini whip antenna (in my loft) any my new HF+ discovery.
I powered it with a cheap lab PSU and the noise floor raised enormously from ~ -85 dB to -60 dB with regularly spaced carriers.
Definitely amplifying a load of crud from in my house and presumably the PSU isn’t helping!
