Took two years to build. This satellite chaser was put to the test this weekend during #ARRLFD
The most annoying thing about RAM being so expensive is that I have to care about memory management again.
The Epstein scandal, not merely in its revelations but in the calculated redactions, coordinated silence, and decades of concealed wrongdoing, has illuminated a fundamental reality of our society: There are the rulers and there are the ruled. Abuse of power by the most powerful does not have consequences...

New Years Day sucks as a holiday. I feel much more connected to something like the winter solstice than I do to some arbitrary Gregorian calendar date.

Progress! Found the brake solenoids and working out position feedback circuit. I was lucky enough to find a five phase motor controller on eBay but who knows if it will work 🤷♂️

Picked up this x-y mount with no nameplate, no documentation, no information. Was controlling a six foot dish inside a radome. These are five phase motors with the windings in star configuration. 2.25 ohm coils. I'm not sure if these are stepper or synchronous motors, or what voltage/current this should run on. If this looks familiar, please let me know so I don't have to open the motor casings up.

Generative AI meets RF circuit design = game changer
• Passive networks tailored by diffusion models.
• Specify stop-band/pass-band; AI does the rest.
• Pixel patterns are not intuitive to electrical response.
Designs getting more abstract.
Prepare for a cognitive shift.

Space is no longer the final frontier—it’s the newest operational domain of warfare. China’s orbital “kill mesh” makes it a critical and mostly unobserved battlespace. Civilian space observers matter now more than ever. #SpaceWarfare #OSINT #SatTracking

KrakenRF fieldtrip. Hunting jammers, different setups, i also working on a better way to mount the array on my car, having just a glas roof makes things a bit tricky. Maybe suction cups of some sort, has anyone some ideas? #seekOnJam #hacker #maker #sdr #cyberdeck #cyberwarfare

#meshtastic is a beautiful thing. Solar node installed on Box Mountain this weekend by yours truly. Station G2 and 8 dB gain antenna. I can get it up higher if someone wants to donate money for a rigger.
#meshtastic Station G2 hopping up to NH from Central CT with just 4 watts. Amazing piece of hardware.
I once had co-worker read me the riot act for not verifying every single character of a program's checksum after I loaded it. I had only glanced at few bytes. I know he was operationally correct (aerospace system) but damnit, I was probabilistically correct.

Demonstrates how the I2C, SPI and UART communication protocols work. #pcbassembly #pcba
