Ham Radio and PCs – Jeffrey Golas

"When amateur radio operators got bored of calling cq using their voice, they opted to find new ways of using their radio stations to communicate with others. Explore hardware and software used by amateur radio operators to include their computers into their amateur radio stations."

That ASR-32 teletype is the rare baudot version of the venerable ASR-33. Also, I think that's the first time I've seen SSTV decided at a VCF before.

Sending an image through Senku's phone

Image converted into an SSTV audio file, put in the air by a small AM transmitter, received by the Senku phone (which is a technologically accurate replica of the phone as shown in season 1, using a vacuum tube from the 1930's), and decoded back into an image. I had to use the slowest SSTV protocol to make up for the bad sound quality of the phone. Because ultimately it's my laptop's mic picking the sound from the horn speaker, some ambient noise added static to the image. Here's a couple of other attempts.

Anyway this was gonna be my Kohaku birthday meme for friday which took more tinkering than I was expecting. Also it turned out the phone was fine, I was just wiring it wrong due to a mistake in my notes (or maybe I did make a weird choice 4 years ago which somehow worked anyway at the time but doesn't anymore).

I just fucking received PICTURES FROM SPACE using my tiny handheld amateur radio

It doesn't look like much but I received it with a tiny antenna and from inside my house. How cool is that.
