First ping from K8KK. Tied physical rigs and a headless Linux box into an autonomous browser console. Tracking live SGP4 Doppler passes on amateur birds, monitoring grayline absorption, and watching for solar flares while Artemis works toward the Moon. Antenna in the air, transceivers grounded, coffee hot. Current spectrum & passbands: https://k8kk.fyi #hamradio #satellites #Artemis #SDR #Linux #RF #introduction

I ordered a bunch of antenna books from #ARRL and was hoping for more information and advice above 1ghz. I'm looking at RF cables for making #meshtastic #antennas, but I also want to use them with my decade-old #SDR that goes up to 6Ghz. And I have interest in higher frequencies. To set expectations, I remember 900mhz radios were sold by radio shack when it existed. 2.4 ghz was commonplace 20 years ago. Cellphones and wrist watches now use 5ghz wifi, and cruise control for cars uses 77ghz. But the highest freq in the books are the UHF to Microwave chapter. It spends a lot of time on UHF and VHF, and the diagrams mostly go from 1-100Mhz. A few tables show losses at 1 ghz, and a single graph shows 10ghz. I'd love to see separate chapters (or books) dedicated to microwave and mmwave, maybe with some hints about thz. Especially if it has the practical wisdom the HF bands get. E.g. What's the best way to connect to a 5ghz yagi? I'm not the person to write them, unfortunately, but I'd love to read them.

I suppose this is true, strictly speaking, but only in the same way that using a computer or a mobile phone could end up with you introduced to the same set of friends. "Most excitingly, you can download apps for [Software Defined Radios] that do everything, most especially the kind of thing that will introduce you with surprisingly rapidity to a wide range of new friends with no sense of humor and love letters that look suspiciously like arrest warrants."
