Not trying to be a smartass, but managing DNS at scale IS a solved problem. Maybe change tooling? IPv6 is awful, but it is what it is and I appreciate the death of NAT.

For some of the channels, yes. Not all though. Ask your dad if he remembers the in-band signals on ESPN and CNN. Those tones were to trip automation for commercials.

That may work as a starting point for groundwave, but anything skywave is WILDLY inaccurate. That “tool” needs to go away. Time and time again people get accused of causing interference because their station falls in the center of the heat

Not buying they’re running 100,000 watts, nor much over a few kilowatts. Which, isn’t in any way acceptable for a service that limits AM to 5 watts. Splatter isn’t indicative of large amounts of power, just an RF amplifier going very non-l

My proposal is that my browser downloads all the content, it just does not display the advertisement. This levels the playing field among traditional broadcast, the content creators get paid and it is just a little less ethical than just ge

The studio transmitter links very much support encryption these days. They also use COFDM, so you need to guess at a number of settings. Making it worse for would be pirates, the receivers are ridiculously stable and will not respond like

The equipment is the ability to transmit FM video on 6 or 18 GHz. Both stations were on the same building, so all they needed to do is be close enough to get FM capture. I am guessing someone found an STL transmitter in a dumpster. TV sta

Do you not understand what comes after zero? Yes, you can have a negative epoch and I’ll let you ponder what that signifies.

How is a lack of encryption “crippling “ the hobby? DMR is used without encryption as are other commercial modes. The point if the experimental nature is that it is open.

Sorry you are tired of people voicing legitimate concerns, perhaps you can tune them out and use your own likeness in pornography to help these companies speed things along. Ya know, take one for the team so to speak.

By anyone who can operate a stereo microscope and a surface mount solder station. A Fisher-Price “My First 40 Watt Weller Soldering Pencil” won’t cut it for this type of repair as you’re not just flicking diodes off a board to “unlock” some

Give it a rest. No one holds you back in amateur radio and if the comments of old farts bothers you, perhaps you need to evaluate what prompts them to tell you that. As long as you are Part 97 compliant, what exactly is your problem?

It has nothing to do with amateur radio operators being conservative. The rules were what they were, and amateurs experimented within those rules such as modifying fax modems for use on HF. The FCC set the rules, not a bunch of old farts u

Two reasons, avoid interference because the benchmark was a generously wide single-sideband transmission, and to avoid creating the opportunity for competition with commercial services. When these rules were adopted, a phone call to Europe

It isn’t gatekeeping, it is a legitimate concern. The Winlink people have already channelized large swaths of the CW and data subbands, and this just takes more spectrum away from people who will likely be occupying the frequency when a Var

Can we just stop using the word “fake”? They’re engine parts, not blender parts shoved into a jet engine. They may be uncertified, they may be counterfeit but they are in no way “fake”.
