| 01:11.58 | beelzebob | well, after dissasembling a laptop and replacing a fan, I have my sdr up and working |
| 01:12.24 | beelzebob | I can listen to local fm stations... but otherwise I think I need more knowledge, or maybe an antenna |
| 01:12.29 | beelzebob | probably both |

| 16:32.02 | jlp_znc | beelzebob: take a look at http://skywavelinux.com/ |
| 16:32.19 | beelzebob | takes a look |
| 16:37.40 | beelzebob | that looks really interesting |
| 16:37.51 | beelzebob | websdr feels like cheating though :) |
| 16:39.06 | beelzebob | There is something about sitting alone in a dank basement listening to static (and occasionally human voices plucked out of the air) |
| 16:39.16 | jlp_znc | heh |
| 16:39.30 | frostyfrog | nods. |
| 16:39.30 | beelzebob | but it looks worthwhile to play with a bunch of tools |
| 16:39.38 | jlp_znc | if nothing else, that page has links to a bunch of tools |
| 16:39.40 | frostyfrog | Like a Japanese broadcast. |
| 16:41.08 | beelzebob | I mean, msot of the appeal of amateur radio to me is the locality of it |
| 16:41.39 | beelzebob | I started with the intent to listen to my power meter (which they just replaced yesterday, oddly enough) |
| 16:42.35 | beelzebob | but I'll take listening to local police or perhaps the school buses, which probably aren't anything a websdr would listen to |
| 16:43.54 | jlp_znc | you'll probably want to look at SDRTrunk if you are monitoring any trunked systems (like police, school district, etc.) |
| 16:47.48 | beelzebob | oh wow, TIL trunked radio :) |
| 18:01.09 | levi | I learned how 8VSB modulation worked the other day. That was fun. |
| 18:02.57 | frostyfrog | 8VSB? |
| 18:29.53 | manithree | knows how 8VSB works |
| 18:30.02 | manithree | very well, for me |
| 18:43.51 | *** join/#utah aeryndunham (~aeryndunh@170.250.131.39) |
| 18:44.54 | aeryndunham | the number of forms I just had to fill out and "sign" for this new job was unexpectedly gigantic |
| 18:45.10 | aeryndunham | I even had to go to their office to sign one paper because apparently online wasn't good enough |
| 18:46.04 | jlp_znc | did you have to do a security clearance? that's always fun. |
| 18:46.29 | aeryndunham | I don't think security clearance, but they are filling out a background check and I had to sign an NDA |
| 18:47.38 | jlp_znc | that's not unusual. security clearance would typically only be required for a government contractor type of position. they like to know things like everywhere you have ever lived and the names, addresses, and phone numbers of everyone you have ever known. |
| 18:48.47 | jlp_znc | had nine different addresses before he was 18 |
| 18:50.12 | aeryndunham | Yikes |
| 18:50.20 | aeryndunham | Mine used to be much more colorful but they asked for past 7 years |
| 18:50.30 | aeryndunham | and 7 years ago right this second I was already back from living abroad |
| 18:50.39 | aeryndunham | so it simplified things |
| 18:50.42 | jlp_znc | and eleven since 18. |
| 18:50.50 | aeryndunham | wow |
| 18:51.09 | jlp_znc | several of those 11 were while I was in college |
| 18:51.30 | jlp_znc | probably five or six |
| 18:52.01 | jlp_znc | six... five since I finished school. |
| 18:52.16 | jlp_znc | but I've lived in my current house for 18 years... longest I have ever lived in the same place. |
| 18:53.24 | jlp_znc | anyway, congrats on the new job... I don't remember if I told you that yet |
| 18:53.29 | aeryndunham | Thanks! |
| 18:53.39 | aeryndunham | I hope I like it |
| 18:53.56 | aeryndunham | I've never really liked a job but I'm hoping I had crappy jobs and not just that I am so fundamentally lazy I can't like any of them |

| 21:55.04 | romanovic | I plan to stay at my current job long term though. |
| 21:59.39 | romanovic | aeryndunham: at least some of your documents were online right? I was always a little leery of employers who start off with "Welcome to $company! Download these PDFs, sign them, and fax them back to this number" |
| 21:59.54 | aeryndunham | Yeah, most were online |
| 21:59.59 | aeryndunham | I just had to go in person to sign one thing |
| 22:00.23 | aeryndunham | And one did ask me to download and fax back but I just signed them on my computer |
| 22:32.15 | unum | romanovic: I just don't see anything else I'm more excited about |

| 23:09.35 | TodPunk | I think I can get the soccer field and the pool, but otherwise might be a stretch |
| 23:11.04 | TodPunk | actually, Luxul doesn't seem to have anything specifically for this. Why did I think this? |

| 23:12.52 | youtah | TodPunk, we have some higher power stuff |
| 23:13.02 | youtah | but good luck with your phone being strong enough to reach all the way back |
| 23:13.07 | youtah | unless you have a pineapple or something |
| 23:13.31 | youtah | and you're also limited to 1 watt ERP |
| 23:13.55 | TodPunk | Are you trying to crush my dreams, youtah? |
| 23:14.00 | youtah | so even if your device is like .5 watts and you use a massive yagi, then you're over 1 watt |
