My professor wants me to combine my solar web server efforts with also doing solar HAM radio stuff. I don't know anything about radio except that my dad and his friends grew up using it to evade the Burmese regime. Send me cool HAM radio stuff for a noob thanks.
@kawaiipunk thank you friend!
@pixouls @gohai has a cool ham & solar project: https://gottfriedhaider.com/Study-for-a-Camera
@rra @pixouls The latest version is out in the desert since a year (tomorrow) and still going strong: https://aprs.fi/telemetry/KK6JBU-1
Much fun digging into the weird HAM world @pixouls!
@gohai thank you so much!
@gohai @rra @pixouls this reminds me of Pond Station, I'm going to have to try and find the time to do somethng similar: https://www.zachpoff.com/artwork/pondstation/
@pixouls If I were to think about a solar amateur radio project I would choose to make a portable, self contained, easy to deploy WSPR beacon. This would make so much sense for anyone in the world who is into shortwave and high altitude balloon!
@mike @pixouls ooo. I need to write up my solar power APRS setup...
Have a look at my site https://m0yng.uk but also the whole mastodon.radio instance!
@pixouls god I wish I had done anything with technology a fraction as cool as "outwitting the tatmadaw"
@pixouls you could maybe connect your server to AMPRnet, the 44.0.0.0/8 subnet reserved for ham radio. chances are there's a local chapter that has set up some access points for it. broadcasting stuff over APRS is another option
also it's ham not HAM :)
@sa2tms ooh! thanks, i didn't realize XD
@pixouls There's a good youtube channel called Ringway Manchester. Maybe peep some of the beginner stuff on there.
