Eric the Camel
@eric-camel.bsky.social
Camelus dromedarius. Evolved, not designed. Sometimes sarcastic, occasionally foul mouthed. Semi house trained, doesn't spit. Likes oases and strong coffee.
A couple of pics taken today with my new (to me) camera given to me by a dear friend. Settings were factory standard in auto mode.
Now to learn how to use it properly. 🙂

If this thing starts singing Daisy Daisy I'm going to hit it with a brick.

A quick hello to new followers on here.
I'm the same camel but much more chilled in these parts. Hopefully I'll be posting a bit more often on here when I get back to pointing badly made things at satellites & I'm less in need of distracting myself by annoying chemtrail idiots and flat earthers.👍😜

Today's less successful attempt with Shonky V1.01. Positioned on the car roof this time but just a random height above it. On the next attempt I'll try with it 1/4 wave above the roof & see if signal reflection helps. Failing that it's back to ground level and tweak things from there. All good fun.

NOAA 18 today with my new home built X dipole antenna after a minor running repair due to wind induced RUB (Rapid Unplanned Bending). My best results yet and I think there are still plenty of improvements to be made.
Onwards and upwards, per ardua ad weathersat.

Since it's #WorldPhotoDay I give you my study of a crossed dipole antenna made from 3mm⌀ aluminium wire and a plastic picnic plate. Today was its first time out in the wild receiving a NOAA weather sat, some tweaking may be required...

Just getting ready for the almost inevitable collapse into a singularity of the "other place".
