One of the most useful lotteries around! Who needs million dollars when you could have an Airspy product?? https://twitter.com/lambdaprog/status/1806341895662022669

Honest Ali sent me his version of a miniwhip antenna. My setup is #AirSpy Mini with SpyVerter, LiFePO4 battery and a fishing rod. There are heaps of RFI in the city, but some bands are clear. Not too bad...

Some R&R in Levi, Lapland! Fresh air, reindeers and mosquitos! Also, I'm enjoying inference free airwaves! Some voice and digital contacts to EU and beyond (Fiji was a nice surprise!)

A quick test with a combination of a rotary actuator and my SatCam. It does 90 degree arc in 150 seconds. The camera goes side to side. Next winter I will control azimuth from warm indoors 🤞

Today's dumpster find: Siemens RK 621 broadcast receiver from the late 80's. Sangean SG-788 re-branded by Siemens. It is in beautiful condition and works 100 per cent! I love analog tuning knobs!

Afternoon autopsy! This TeleCourier branded RF-thing was rescued from a bin. Used to be attached to a whip antenna on top of a building in a big Finnish city. Best guesses so far: Pager system or company wide voice radio net? Any hints?

The ultimate interaction! I remember I was ten years old when @MacGyver was in Finnish TV (only two channels then in 1987). It was translated "Miracle Man". I thought it was Superman-kinda guy. The first episode blew my mind! I had a mullet and Victorinox knife for many years!

Time for personal DX expedition. Also, sharing the only meme I have ever done 😁

Something old, but something new for me: I "acquired" an old vacuum tube radio from 1964. Very nice looking Dux V 451 externally in good condition!

Yesterday I unscientificly checked the 10€ AliExpress OCXO on clubs HP frequency counter. Initial frequency was close and drift was 0.12Hz over two hours. 👍

Crispy -22C morning 👍 The SatCam saw an old Explorer 38 from 1968 at 5800 km altitude and followed it for four minutes.

Looks like the USSF-52 (OTV 7) will cross my SatCam FOV tonight. Well, at least according to Dr @Marco_Langbroek guesstimated TLE it will. AFAIK there is no civillian visual nor RF observation of it after the launch. The weather looks clear and crispy for tonight!

Every Christmas Eve at noon one million+ Finns will sit in front of TV to watch this guy to declare the Christmas Peace. The tradition of reading the Declaration of Christmas Peace in Turku has continued almost uninterrupted since the 1300s.

At the in-laws for the Christmas. Nice low interference neighborhood. I put up my DIY end fed half wave for tests. As late Chandler Bing said: "Can there BE enough radios?"

I made a thing. I'm pretty happy with it. Haven't tested it yet in real life, though. But building it was fun!
