I will be forward I do swear a lot on this site.

Anywho, I bounce around between hobbies. My latest is ham radio. I’ve got my Canadian Basic(+) since 2025. Currently I am working with a UV-5RM/UV-5R and recently picked up an IC-735. I have an interest in SSTV and am learning about other digital modes available.

Something I have been working on lately is just collecting and listening to local SSTV traffic. CLICK HERE to see what I have collected so far!
(These are links you can click them)

I intend to make this a gallery that feeds automatically but for now its just me doing it.

(except the text that explains that these are links, you cannot click this text. Well. You can, but it will do nothing.)

Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow

Currently I am working with a 20m halfwave dipole made of some copper wire and held up with a painters pole that is pretty comprimised, so if we’ve made contact – yay hello!

I look forward to meeting you. Please tell your cat I said pspspspssppspsps.

WIND BROK MY ANTENNAR >:(
OKAY, I GUESS. THANKS. WIND.

I gotta get me a new soldering gun and fix them joints that might also be at fault but it’s cold out and I don’t want to fiddle so it’s back to listening locally. Where? Real ones know.

So i’ve got this local setup here, an rtl-sdr listening right now for local traffic on a repeater. That’s feeding into a local whisper ai that is transcribing the audio. That log file is moved over to my web server and permissions applied (mine! no log file 4 u).

The transcription is ~not good~ lmao but enjoy
