Amazing live feed from a high-altitude balloon! Sent Sept 9 over the 70 cm ham band at ~300 kbps with a 1W transmitter—50 km range and Eb/N0 >20 dB. Brilliant demo of low-power, long-range video comms and tinkering. Don’t miss it! #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #BalloonLaunch #HighAltitude #RadioComms #DIY #Telemetry #Wireless #English

Forgot to mention: business-specific use of radios often requires business-specific licenses. Rules vary by country, so always check and follow your local regulations. Don't assume HAM covers commercial use—it usually doesn't!

Learning RF through HAM has improved how I understand WiFi, LoRa, SDR, and even antenna placement. Signal propagation isn’t magic—it’s physics you can master.

#python #pager control app now running on my mobile via SSH.

I've now hauled the Debian box upstairs, connected it to my second #Arduino based #UHF transmitter with the antenna high up in the corner of the room, and port forwarded my router so I can test the range of the TX when I walk to the shops (surprisingly long for around +18dbM TX ERP!)
