i know user i missed being /comfy/ with you guys and it felt fitting to make one grab a blanket and tune it.
Grayson Cox
has anything happened with skykangs lately?
Gabriel Ortiz
Anything interesting going on in the radio world tonight? Memefeng gave me advice on setting up an antenna but I never got around to it.

Caleb Anderson
Hello, hello. I also run the skykingradio.blogspot.
I'm sorry I haven't updated either lately, but I'm a poorfag who just upgraded my Amateur ticket to General, got my ARRL VEC VE credentials (I get to certify new Hams during their exams) and have been trying to do "Charlie Work" all over my neighborhood to save up for an Icom IC-9001 or a Yaesu FT-991A so I can talk to Europe. I've save $100 so far. :/
Is there any update/question you'd likeanswered on either blog?
Caleb Wood
I saw that in the news today. What type of stuff do you look to listen to on the radio? Military, civilian, hams, that kind of stuff? None that I can think of off of the top of my head. I was in the thread when we told you how to use a trip code. I was an American asking you for antenna advice and gave you a bunch of Aviation HF frequencies for the North Atlantic. It's been a while. How are you doing?

WebSDR im a poorfag wish i had the money to a a nice rig, so military coms mostly
Isaac Campbell
What's the best thing I can do with pic related tonight on a Windows PC?
Hudson Diaz
I'm doing okay. Got in a verbal fight with my sister's French Communist husband on Thanksgiving and I think I've been disavowed by them, but my two elderly and sick parents are well enough that my care for them doesn't require much effort beyond my usual care, so that's better than last year. (18 ER visits in total last year between them.)
So what did you decide on the antenna?
Ayden Harris
I meant to get something going and ended up working a bunch of overtime at work and then the holidays kicked in. Sorry to hear about your parents. I have a distant relative who is a French Canadian communist, so I feel your pain.

There's a really nice Nooelec SDR set-up going for $90 right now and all you would need to do is run the biggest piece of speaker wire you can for an antenna. Would work really well for HF.
Lincoln Brown
this is why i made this thread user join us and get /comfy/
Tyler Brown
well once i get some money i will look into getting that
Ethan Kelly
I have the little antenna in your pic. Is there anything I can pick up? I guess my biggest problem right now is that I'm having a hard time finding good software for Windows. I only have one Raspberry Pi and I'm currently using it for video game emulation.
Liam Evans
I used to be a Paramedic, so when my parents both became old and ill (Dad had a stroke and is paralyzed and Mom has Finish Heritage Disease), my sister and I concluded it was best for me to care for them. Neither of us want them to go into a nursing home. (TRUST ME, THEY ARE HORRID PLACES.) I'm very happy to care for them even if it means I have no social life beyond these threads. They're my parents, ffs, and I have no problem carrying my dad from his bed to the couch in the morning and back in the evening so he can watch Westerns and "helping" my Mom cook (I do the cooking) so she enjoys her days that she remembers.
What have you figured out about your set-up?
I understand. It's a great kit for a great price. As a fellow DX lover, if I could help you out in some way, I would.
Dominic Nguyen
good lord user good on you and when it comes down to it blood allways surpasses everything, nursing homes are terrible they are not a fun place
Daniel Smith
Honestly, I haven't had much time to mess with it. We went from hurricane, to back to school (I have elementary age kids), to picking up a lot of overtime for Christmas to Thanksgiving. This Fall has flown by and I haven't had much time to indulge my hobbies. I'm glad your parents have the opportunity to have you helping them. I know how important it is for elderly people to be able to maintain the "independence" of being at home instead of a long-term care facility.
Jonathan Peterson
Shit... The best SDR software I know of is HDSDR and I think it's Linux and Windows compatible.
That antenna you have is best for 400 MHz or higher, you really want an "Active Mini-Whip" (PA0RDT) style antenna (about $30 on Ebay) or a "Randomwire" with a 9:1 Balun/Unun.
In all my years as a medic, the one thing I learned is: FUCK NURSING HOMES.
Josiah Howard
I'll give it a shot tomorrow. I realize I need a good antenna. I live like 6 miles from a big airport, but I have yet to find software that lets me pick up their radios. I'm assuming it's because I'm setting it up wrong. I have to get up for work tomorrow, so I'm going to sign off, but it was a nice treat to see this thread again!
Camden Reyes
Be well, be safe, take care. See you when I see you.
Luke Allen
>In all my years as a medic, the one thing I learned is: FUCK NURSING HOMES. The people in nursing homes are there for a very good reason.

gibs me parts list please. also, any good cheap sdrs with transmission support?

they have switched to morse code vocaroo.com/i/s0b2EcLbsqdL This came through over 4724khz 10min ago I translated part of it as -.- ..- ...- ... -.. . --- .---- .-- . . --.- ... .- ..--.. -.- KUVSDEO1WEEQSA?K
>You must hate your parents if you put them in one. For good reason most of the time. My grandmother is in one because she had a habit of whipping people.
Henry Martinez
vocaroo.com/i/s12nLIV2npGI some other high density datastream was sent on the lower band at the same time
Benjamin Wilson
My parents never whipped me or my sister. They tried their best to raise me and my sister and did a pretty good job at it.
Austin Miller
Well then they have no reason to be in a nursing home. Most people in nursing homes deserve to be there. Don't be fooled by their friendliness.
Austin Davis
>/comfy/ Glad you're still around memefeng
Carson Butler
when Sup Forums spergs pretend that Tesla didn't go fucking insane and therefore is obviously a reliable source of information. Also, muh free energy.
Ethan Carter
So i'm a newfag when it comes to this, can anyone explain this stuff?
Lincoln Rogers
Kiitos.
Julian Morris
What do you need to know?
Jack James
Imagine knowing enough to help humanity forever but some greedy asshole fucks you over because you were competition and throws you into a social outcast, would you be a rational and sane human being after that?
Jackson Johnson
Listen to Memefeng, he's the king of amateur radio and this thread.
Liam Turner
what frequency to tune into, what to look for, general knowledge. I know I sound a bit retarded, but what should I tune into on the websdr to sit back and listen to?
Zachary Hill
>Do forget, you're here forever Just wait for the days like POTUS's South Korea visit when we get multiple huge EAMs and Multiple Skykings every day
Samuel Davis
Hambro here, coming to you for another Skyking thread. Let me take this opportunity to remind you all yet again to buy a shortwave radio which can receive SSB. I’ve been banned and such but I’m back now.
If anybody has general radio questions I’ll try to answer and if you want to know what radio to buy tell me your budget. These are the comfiest threads on this site.

Has there been anything on air said or are you all being non happening faggots again

Jacob Gutierrez
You're fine, friend.
Just hit the HFGCS frequencies. 4724 USB in darkness and 11175 in daylight.
Brody Green
thanks, I just did that and it went from the grey noise to silent, is that right? what should I expect to hear when the frequency starts? last of the stupid questions I swear
Levi Evans
Yay a skyking thread! Nothing really worth noting at the moment. NK keeps putting on its usual shit show with nothing about to happen. China continues building its artificial islands but has made no aggressive moves against Taiwan, No action on the European front. Meanwhile Russia is doing the Syria thing still, Zimbabwe is a mess, Venezuela is in chaos, Pakistan remains decentralized. There were some minor things in Afghanistan this week but that's nothing new.
Dylan Williams
>multiple huge EAMs and Multiple Skykings every day fuck that shit was off the hook, constant messages all day. In two years of tuning in i have not heard anything like it. The lead up to the election seemed like the second most happening period after Korea visit 2017.
Thomas Smith

Jaxon Howard
Twas a fun thread. I'm just going to pass out now. Be well, everyone.
Blake Hill
The silence is because you turned on squelch, which filters out the background noise. If you have The WebDSR in the right frequency, you will know when there's a broadcast. Will start with "All stations, all stations, break". This video starts after that part youtu.be/mvMxIHaHGPA However, sometimes like tonight it's on Morse code.
Angel Brown
sooo what Fq should i listen on? It is night here.
