... and when OE-Link is idle & I am too tired to call I run a tiny USB-SDR with bash proggies like RTL_433 for some ad hoc nearfield #SIGINT. Controlling tyre pressure & acceleration of cars passing by, home alarm systems, car & garage remotes, energy & waterflow meters, barbecue thermometers % the likes.

Attached: 1 image 🧵 1/more The fishbone felt so lonesome out there on the cold balcony, Always pointing to the Mountains of Hell, a qso now and then Austria wide or on the nearest repeaters. Such treatment is not appropriate So I got her a companion, a discone 85 - 1.300 GHz, a submissive antenna on the receiving end. Or a #SIGINT antenna if you wish. Here is the fishbone thread again https://chaos.social/deck/@harkank/113341901119327246

Do antennas dream of electric currents? A VHF/UHF logperiodic called "the fishbone" and a bristly broadband discone before a suburbian sunset sonewhere in Upper Austria.
