This was fun! I completed the current Polish #fmt challenge, so I'm now a member of an elite club of eight nerds 😁 .

I did this QRP style: No GPS, no fancy oscillator. Just my rig, my computer, and the internet for time (via plain NTP). Plus a whole bunch of excellent FLOSS: scipy & friends. Analyzing hours of RWM recordings helped to learn stuff and calibrate things.

With that gear, my frequency was -0.113 Hz off, my PPS offset 1.2 ms, and my pulselength -1.0 ms.

Measure the frequency of incoming shortwave signals with better than 1 Hz precision - just because you can. This, twice a year, has been and still is the ARRL's "Frequency Measurment Test" #FMT .

Now a Polish team presents its version, with timing measurement challenges added to the fun. They transmit this coming Friday, February 13, at 10, 16, 19, 21 UTC on different #hamradio bands.

See https://fmtlab.org/schedule/ for details (or https://fmt.arrl.org/ for the original from the USA).

Esta puta mierda de identación es la que te hace black, el formateador más usado por la comunidad python.

A ver si no me tiran en las reviews el uso de `#fmt: on/off`, porque bastante duro de leer es este código sin la "ayuda" de black. Aunque igual lo suyo es reescribirlo entero.

Siempre me quedará el vibe coding. Lo estoy usando para evitar leer código legacy (todo el que tenemos). Gasto ahora menos en el plan lite de z.ai coding de lo que antes gastaba en sal de frutas.

I've spent the past year living in my car in DC, visiting the Congressional offices most days. I started making social media videos to show people what I'm doing and try to get help.

Has anybody already written a #clang-tidy check replacing the use of std::stringstream with that of std::format()? I can't find anything like this, but it seems like it would be such a useful tool to have for modernizing the old code.

About as nerdy as it gets...

A #hamRadio operator sends a signal of precisely known frequency. Others receive and measure that frequency, in a friendly competition for precision. That's the "#FMT", the "frequency measurement test".

It is done twice a year, next April 18 ("Good Friday" in the Christian calendar), starting 2:30 UTC, with 2xTX on 40 and on 80 m each. Details https://fmt.arrl.org/ , which also links tips how to measure.
