Unlikely since the most ISM bands are UHF (EU is 868 MHz) and skywave propagation (what you’re referring to) is characteristic of HF radiation (3-30MHz). VHF/UHF radiation passes through the ionosphere instead of refracting.

There are plenty of instruments in there. I did a quick and dirty encoding of the first bar of “City of Star” with the piano when I first discovered it. note("G2@2 A#2 D@2 G@2 ~ G F@2 D@1.5") .sound("piano")

Friendly reminder that em and en dashes were part of English well before ChatGPT was launched. Anecdotally, I’ve been using them forever and English isn’t even my native language.

Wait, really? Could you share some examples? Why would they break for a FQDN. Wouldn’t that mean that the root servers aren’t configured correctly for that TLD?

*Genocide. It’s not a war. As a dev, I hate jargon to dress up trivial products or when distressing things are watered down. Usually I keep my feelings to myself but in this case, allowing a genocide to be watered down would make me complic

In an emergency you can make use of anything, including a radio without an amateur radio license. But it’s easier to use when you’ve had the practice and aren’t fumbling around learning about offsets and CTCSS tones. Or even better, when yo
