Alan Turing via Mike Oldfield’s album Tubular Bells, Scotland and Amateur Radio. It’s Halloween so figured why not throw some horror in the mix.</p> <figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="861" height="314" data-id="1318" src="https://madpsy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/logo_hidden_morse.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1318" srcset="https://madpsy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/logo_hidden_morse.png 861w, https://madpsy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/logo_hidden_morse-300x109.png 300w, https://madpsy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/logo_hidden_morse-768x280.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 861px) 100vw, 861px" /></figure> </figure> <p>When Mike Oldfield recorded Tubular Bells in 1973 he had no idea his first album on Virgin Records would be chosen as the soundtrack to The Exorcist later that year.

You never know what you might see so is kinda cool to see them appear in real time. I’m showing the last 20 images which have been decoded, usually from either 20m or 40m bands.</p> <p>Slow-scan television (SSTV) is a picture transmission method, used mainly by amateur radio operators, to transmit and receive static pictures via radio in monochrome or color.</p> <p>A literal term for SSTV is narrowband television. Analog broadcast television requires at least 6 MHz wide channels, because it transmits 25 or 30 picture frames per second (in the NTSC, PAL or SECAM color systems), but SSTV usually only takes up to a maximum of 3 kHz of bandwidth. It is a much slower method of still picture transmission, usually taking from about eight seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on the mode used, to transmit one image frame.</p> <p>Since SSTV systems operate on voice frequencies, amateurs use it on shortwave (also known as HF by amateur radio operators), VHF and UHF radio.</p> <a href="https://madpsy.uk/live-sstv-images/#more-1098" class="more-link">Read More <span class="meta-nav">»</span></a> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"> Filed Under: <a href="https://madpsy.uk/category/radio/" rel="category tag">Radio</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a> </span> <span class="sep"> | </span> <span class="tag-links"> Tagged: <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/auto-update/" rel="tag">auto update</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/radio/" rel="tag">Radio</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/slow-scan/" rel="tag">slow scan</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/sstv/" rel="tag">sstv</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/tv/" rel="tag">tv</a> </span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-971" class="post-971 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-electronics category-radio tag-222 tag-d1-mini tag-esp8266 tag-ftdx10 tag-ftdx101 tag-ftdx101d tag-home-assistant tag-tasmota tag-transmit tag-tx-sense tag-yaesu"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://madpsy.uk/yaesu-857-897-wifi-tx-sensor-for-home-assistant/" title="Permalink to Yaesu WiFi TX and Voltage Sensor for Home Assistant" rel="bookmark">Yaesu WiFi TX and Voltage Sensor for Home Assistant</a></h1> <div class="entry-meta"> Posted on <a href="https://madpsy.uk/yaesu-857-897-wifi-tx-sensor-for-home-assistant/" title="17:52" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2021-05-14T17:52:08+01:00" pubdate>May 14, 2021</time></a><span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://madpsy.uk/author/nathan/" title="View all posts by MadPsy" rel="author">MadPsy</a></span></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>A simple and quick project for detecting when a Yaesu transciever is transmitting and feed that status to Home Assistant to then perform actions.

quite a while ago and although the throughput of wireless links has dramatically increased the basic theory still applies. Of course we now have 5GHz available, which is very useful for this application. You should be able to substitute ‘f’ for 5000MHz and the maths will still work.</p> <p>You can now get a 150mbps PTP link over 15km using equipment that costs £160 for <em>both</em> ends – that’s the entire cost of the system (minus a couple of poles and brackets). Crazy value for money when you think about it. The Ubiquiti NSM5 NanoStation is one such example. The Ubiquiti product range is pretty impressive to say the least. The NSM5 seen below is the big brother of the LOCOM5, which at £125 can still do 10km at the same rate and are around half the size.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-666 aligncenter" src="/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/nsm5-kit.png" alt="nsm5-kit" width="400" height="400" srcset="https://madpsy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/nsm5-kit.png 400w, https://madpsy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/nsm5-kit-150x150.png 150w, https://madpsy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/nsm5-kit-300x300.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p> <p> </p> <p>If you are considering an outdoor wireless link, give this article a read so you understand how high above objects you need to mount your shiny new kit!</p> <p> <a href="https://madpsy.uk/calculating-performance-of-outdoor-wireless-network-links/#more-663" class="more-link">Read More <span class="meta-nav">»</span></a></p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"> Filed Under: <a href="https://madpsy.uk/category/networking/" rel="category tag">Networking</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/category/radio/" rel="category tag">Radio</a> </span> <span class="sep"> | </span> <span class="tag-links"> Tagged: <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/2-4ghz/" rel="tag">2.4ghz</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/5ghz/" rel="tag">5ghz</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/802-11/" rel="tag">802.11</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/fresnel/" rel="tag">fresnel</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/long-distance/" rel="tag">long distance</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/outdoor/" rel="tag">outdoor</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/wifi/" rel="tag">wifi</a>, <a href="https://madpsy.uk/tag/wireless-network/" rel="tag">wireless network</a> </span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-619" class="post-619 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-internet category-linux"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://madpsy.uk/json-parsing-nagios-script/" title="Permalink to JSON Parsing Nagios Script" rel="bookmark">JSON Parsing Nagios Script</a></h1> <div class="entry-meta"> Posted on <a href="https://madpsy.uk/json-parsing-nagios-script/" title="15:08" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2016-10-30T15:08:47+00:00" pubdate>October 30, 2016</time></a><span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://madpsy.uk/author/nathan/" title="View all posts by MadPsy" rel="author">MadPsy</a></span></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Parsing JSON in Bash is never usually the best idea but sometimes it may be necessary or preferred.
