I had a weird problem where I was getting a pure tone on my HF rig no matter what frequency I was tuned to.

Turns out my CRT was interfering with the IF on the radio. I changed the resolution and it went away.

1. buy 3 plots of land around the city
2. put up antenna towers
3. attach SDRs to the towers
4. use TDOA to locate every transmitter in the city (phones, cars with 2 way radios, etc.)
5. ???
6. profit

me 5 minutes after I start cooking: oh nooo my pot is boiling over this is the worst

me 10 minutes later, my oven covered in hot water: whatever

bring back a/s/l

my dream is that all of my friends get ham radio licenses and we set up a 1200 baud network in the city that consists entirely of 80s computers connected to packet radios

if this interests you, please move to #fredericton asap
