24. September 2020Annoyed that you cannot use CHIRP on Ubuntu 20.04 to program your precious radios? CHIRP is still based on Python 2, which is old. So old in fact that it is no longer part of the Ubuntu repositories. While you can still install Python 2, this is not true for all the dependencies that are Weiterlesen →
DC7IA 13. Juli 2018This post is a comment to this NY Times article published in 2016: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/04/opinion/a-renewable-energy-boom.html I wrote this comment in school and got a mark equal to A in the UK for it. We not only face the problem of acceptance and cost, while deploying more and more power plants for renewable energy, but also the Weiterlesen →
DC7IA 20. April 2018I have been in Cambridge around two weeks ago, 2nd to 7th April, and I have spent a great week there. I arrived on Monday at Stanstead airport, where Martin (G3ZAY) picked me up. We drove to Dom (M0BLF) who has been my host for the week. We had dinner and then it became late. Weiterlesen →
DC7IA 11. März 2018As you may have noticed, I really enjoy learning and using Swedish. But how do I learn Swedish? For quite some time now, I have been able to have normal conversations and I’d consider myself to be at level B1 or B2. Most of my learning happened using babbel.com, but as I’ve completed all the Weiterlesen →
DC7IA 16. August 2017Whoa. What a week. More than 80 Youngsters from 26 countries gathered in Gilwell Park. All have the same hobby: Amateur Radio. So that’s what we did for a whole week. Amateur Radio stuff. Saturday was the day it all begun. Ryanair had some delay, so I came a bit late compared to all the Weiterlesen →
DC7IA 19. Juli 2017Also this year it has been nice to meet so many great people from all around the world. This year I stayed in the HamCamp again, this year organized by Gerrit, DH8GHH (thank you!) where meeting great people started. Friday, 9 a.m. I went to the opening of the Ham Radio. The mayor of Friedrichshafen Weiterlesen →
DC7IA 21. Juni 2017– English version below – Nicht mehr lange. Dann beginnt wieder das große Treffen von Funkamateuren aus aller Welt in Friedrichshafen. Funkamateure und Funkinteressierte treffen sich, um sich auszutauschen, neue Leute kennen zu lernen, Freundschaften zu vertiefen oder Freundschaften zu schließen. Nebenbei werden auch wieder Funkgeräte bestaunt und gekauft oder es wird über den Trödelmarkt Weiterlesen →
DC7IA 11. Dezember 2016I wanted to track satellites from more than one TLE source using Gpredict, so I used UpdateTLE for that. The script works, but if Gpredict is running while you run the script, you will destroy your configuration and have to setup Gpredict again. For that reason I made a script that first checks if gpredict Weiterlesen →
DC7IA 13. November 2016Last time I showed you how you can use any bluetooth CAT dongle with RepeaterBook. This time I show you how to do the same but without the need to get root access. Everything is the same except how we get to that file and get it back to the device. Prerequisites You have ADB Weiterlesen →
DC7IA 22. Oktober 2016By default RepeaterBook only works with CAT dongles that have a specific MAC address. I bought a cheap dongle from ebay, but the Android App RepeaterBook didn’t recognize it. So I decided to look into the apps files. I found a file containing settings of the app. There I could set the MAC address: <?xml Weiterlesen →
