Like the "world series" then? 🤔

Yes, yes, yes. This ☝🏻

Possibly my biggest peeve in an airport.

Lufthansa still operates some 747-400 as passenger aircraft - we see them flying across the pond from the USA (we are on the flight route from the USA to Europe).

Love the A380. I've been on the test plane (loaded with Sun computers and ballast), and watched the convoy taking the wings and fuselage to the FAL in Toulouse in the middle of the night. Also flew it once from Singapore to Heathrow. A beautiful aircraft.

Alex Ball. Amazing videos on music tech, and superb extended videos on the history of synth/music tech companies such as Roland and korg. A very talented musician as well.

Oh, ........

he's very funny too!

Hah! That's cool. So someone on the ISS is deliberately making something more difficult than it needs to be so a bunch of nerds can have a good time? 🥳 NASA et al - I salute you! (Fellow nerd here BTW)

Ah. Ok. Thank you. Is there a good reason why they would transmit tv images over radio channels? (I'm thinking that the live feed from the on board cameras means they have faster methods!)

Good question! For example "a shot from PSKreporter mapping 24 h of FT8 monitoring, 10-160 m, in Vancouver, and 24 h of WSPR transmission at 200 mW." And the nooelec stuff (SDR etc) and the ISS images. Is there some sort of resource to help me understand what you're doing?

I am intrigued by your posts. Can you point to a resource that explains what you are doing with this kit and what you are capturing? Cheers.

Yes please!

But, yeah, good joke as well!

Yeah he's been doing beach landings and touch and go's as far as we can tell. Been watching him for the last few hours.
