@swradiogram.bsky.social less than perfect reception of 427 on 5850kHz 0800z near Napa, CA, text was about 90%. 40m dipole + Icom IC-7300. As always, thank you @kaedotcom.bsky.social #radio #shortwave #data

@swradiogram.bsky.social Unsurprisingly poor reception of 1330z WRMI, but I did decode the tail-end text! CM88we 20m dipole IC-7300

@swradiogram.bsky.social mediocre reception of WINB this evening here in Napa, CA area (CM88) - better than listening to a voice program though. Icom IC-7300, 40m dipole. Thank you @kaedotcom.bsky.social

Took this photo (35mm Kodak Tri-X) last summer in Isleton, CA. Amused to see this building now showing-up in FB ads, it's for sale, what a bargain at $150k! Except it needs to be rebuilt, including the foundation :-)

We live a few miles from several duck clubs (managed wetlands with in-season duck hunting) and it is duck season. Just heard the first shots of the morning at 622a, a little later than expected - normally they start exactly 30 minutes before sunrise :-)

Something for the #hamradio folks. Started with an STM32F446RE Nucleo, built an analog interface board (display unused here) and wrote the code for a very good 1200-baud #packetradio KISS modem. Built back in 2017-18, resurrected, maybe going to do eye diagram on the display #nerdfun

Our precocious 5-yo granddaughter spent a few nights here this week. This is her breakfast today; she doesn't enjoy cooked fish but properly-cured sashimi is perfect any meal. (She didn't want the lemon slice but I insisted for visual appeal)

Great reception of @swradiogram.bsky.social near Napa, CA this summer solstice, using a 40m dipole 9265kHz WRMI (Red Lion, PA). Sad to read the VOA news, glad I could read it. Thank you @kaedotcom.bsky.social #radio #data #images #journalism

Tuned-in a bit late for the Saturday 0230z transmission from WINB 9265kHz and the ionosphere wasn't totally cooperating, but MFSK64 did the trick for @swradiogram.bsky.social . Perfectly usage images and text near Napa, CA with a 40m dipole at fence-level. TNX @kaedotcom.bsky.social #radio #data

Very good reception of @swradiogram.bsky.social early this morning on 5850kHz WRMI. Solid text at MFSK64 and very goods images (TV didn't look that good when I was growing up). Icom IC-7300 + 40m dipole near Napa, CA. Thank you @kaedotcom.bsky.social #Shortwave #Radio #Data #Images

Much better conditions near Napa, CA for @swradiogram.bsky.social this evening on 9265kHz. Excellent text and image decoding! Thank you @kaedotcom.bsky.social and the VOA team! #radio #Shortwave IC-7300+40m dipole

Conditions here on the West Coast were poor but I did manage to decode a bit of @swradiogram.bsky.social this afternoon. Despite an S0 signal here, text decoded pretty well and images mostly looked like images! 40m dipole IC-7300 near Napa, CA. #radio #shortwave thank you @kaedotcom.bsky.social

Google Earth view from the approximate position and altitude of the plane shortly before impact. It appears less than 100' above the ridge directly in front, with high-tension lines cresting the ridge; pilot may not have them, but been spooked and stalled attempting to climb

Conditions seemed terrible but I managed to get good reception of @swradiogram.bsky.social on 9455kHz WRMI this afternoon near Napa, CA. Started a few minutes late butr Images and finishing text were remarkably great! Thank you @kaedotcom.bsky.social #Shortwave #Data
