psa: ich separiere ab jetzt diesen Account vom Amateurfunk! Derlei Inhalte von nun an unter @DL8ROB

Grundsätzlich hätte ich zwar gern alles unter einem Hut aber die architekturbedingte, unlösbare Namenskollision stört mich zu sehr.

Okay so *slightly* late, I know, but I have been busy the last month. Still I did some ham radio on the side and so I at least can mark HC06S as done: I had exactly one QSO during the South America 10m contest last Saturday 😅 A new DXCC for my stats and another @hamchallenge done.
What do I do for a living? Like many of you, my primary occupation is entering passwords and two-factor codes into a variety of apps and websites all day long.
This weeks challenge for @hamchallenge went without results as my callsign "DL8ROB" apparently has never been used before me. At least there are no qrz.com versions of it on archive.org that are not my own. Searching for it explicitly on Google doesn't produce any results beyond those, that lead to me. Maybe there are historical records of German callsigns available at BNetA? HC04S
It's been a busy week and at least around here the WX conditions also left a lot to be desired so no further activities for @hamchallenge HC02 unfortunately. I highly doubt that next week will be any better since that would also require some antenna work but we'll see.

TOSLINK is one of the very few consumer fiber optical standards. It transports digital, uncompressed PCM audio over plastic fibers.

Why not transport IP-over-Toslink instead?
It's a 1.536 Mbit/s data link after all...

IP-over-Toslink: A very useless consumer fiber optic hack

#hamchallenge week 2 HC02: listen to NCDXF beacons. Weather at my QTH is rather unpleasant so webSDR it is for now. So far I heard W6WX, CS3B, OH2B, 4U1UN, 4X6TU & RR9O on 14.100, 24.930 & 28.200 MHz via Twente & DL7VDX (JO62VP)
Meine Lieblings-Hottakes von den Jürgens der Sozialmedien zum #38C3 sind ja "ist ja technisch alles ganz spannend vom CCC, aber muss die woke Scheiße da immer zu sein?" Ist wahrscheinlich, weil @fluepke irgendwie bunte Haare hat oder so. Aber drollig.
Kurze Durchsage: Ich bin ab heute Teil der Gang. Vielen Dank für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit! #blahaj

Das ist Raumklang! Musikhören zu Hause zwischen Schellack und Streaming

Tonträger sind in modernen Zeiten unsichtbar geworden. Die junge Generation hört Musik entweder scheppernd über den Handylautsprecher oder für Außenstehende lautlos über Kopfhörer. Das war nicht immer so.
