There is a glaring error at the beginning of this article under the "things you cannot do with SDR." "Listening in on the conversations of Ham operators." In the US at least, there are many VHF/UHF Ham bands easily

It's all about cost. There have been several articles on HN discussing the problem. One in particular (I think it was a study done in Michigan) stated the average citizen in that city would need to pay an extra $7K in taxes just to bre

This is why cities are going broke. I live on a small farm in the middle-of-nowhere NC. (20min to even a gas station) I'm currently working with our local zoning dept. to get approval to use my barn in a home-occupation. Even though I&
