Feeling this super hard. https://spookygirl.boo/notes/ag59opuknngr4mm7
I have a big but vague vision in my head for making something awesome for my #wwv time decoder, but I got it to the point where I can prove to myself that it works, then lost all motivation. https://mastodon.social/@noleli/115582310269684373
In the past I’ve been able to serve as my own developer, designer, and project manager for some personal projects. That isn’t coming together for me now.
I recently discovered my 20+ year-old radio receiver still works, and this has reinvigorated my interest in getting my #hamradio license. Also want to experiment with #SDR because waterfall displays 🤩.
In the past I mostly used this receiver for aviation comms, but I wanted to branch out to some other bands so tried #WWV. I'm about 60 miles south of the antennae sites, but only hear static on all five freqs. Is this because the stock rubber ducky antenna is inadequate for HF?
I just did this *again*. Ugh.
This time, spent weeks (mostly in the background) confused about why my #wwv decoder was working with a media element source but not a user media source. https://mastodon.social/@noleli/113013249924305520
If I did this right, this #wwv recording was made on 2023-01-26 despite not being uploaded till Feb 7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKn-vCacjHU
#WWVB is currently operating "indefinitely" at reduced power on a single antenna, rather than full power on two antennas, due to wind damage from 90+ MPH gusts.
