The list is appears to be a random mix of AM/FM radios (receiver only), walkie talkies for different frequency bands, etc. Without any context, this list is not helpful at all - or outright confusing. It's also noteworthy that dif

Using custom subdomains for each account is a great idea. Once you start getting spam on this subdomain, you just need to remove the DNS entry and the spammer's attempts to deliver spam will be unsuccessful (versus if you use different

Great project. AMPR has a lot of money thanks to selling a part of the AMPRnet /8 to Amazon, and it's fantastic to see this money actually going to projects (> 1M USD alone in 2022): https://www.ampr.org/grants&

It has changed a lot over the last few years. In a typical supermarket in Berlin you will see that the majority of customers pays electronically, these days. Adoption rates may be lower among older people and in rural areas, though.

A radiated EM wave at far-field distances has both a magnetic and an electric field component. You can receive the magnetic field component with a - surprise - magnetic antenna, that has an inductor/coil, through which part of the magn

Mh, timing sounds correct now - I listened to it on my mobile earlier and it appeared to have excessively long dots (Firefox Mobile). Cannot reproduce now. Sorry. You may want to run the output through a low-pass filter of the Web Audio API

The timing sounds off (incorrect dot-dash-pause ratio) and the characters are not well shaped keyed, not very pleasant. There are much better options, among others: https://morsecode.world/international/trainer/tra

Thanks for making this (despite the hiccups and error 500s). I love the aesthetics of that era so much: Efficient usage of screen space, clear borders between different elements - brings back happy memories!

I think if you view it from this angle it becomes clearer: The court has not arbitrarily declared GA illegal, it just follows what the GDPR mandates - and came to the (quite obvious) conclusion that GA is not compatible with the GDPR. Conse

If you can, get on the air - it's the most rewarding and fun thing to do. But not everyone is lucky enough to have space for antennas at home. You may enjoy the competitive side of Morse code: You can practice your code speed and compe
