Getting storms in #RochesterNY. We're fine, but I did see this on radar. I think this is the first time I've ever seen a target-like shape on radar before. I suspect there's a radar dish at the bullseye. #weather

Did a drone experiment with a #Meshtastic node strapped to it. I don't think it really helped with getting messages out, but it did seem to help with reception. Next time, I think I need a better antenna, and maybe angle it vertically somehow.

Finally installed a mobile #AmateurRadio setup in my car! Running the wires was painful, but I made it work. Only thing I'm unsure about is the antenna... It's on a magnetic mount on my roof with the wire going through my sunroof. I didn't want to drill holes in my car 😅.

I tried playing with @avaloniaui.net 's re-create UI MCP server. I threw it a curve-ball; trying to recreate the Wii's Forecast Menu UI. I don't think AI is taking my job yet, but it did give it a good attempt!

The Wii Forecast channel menu! It shows a five day forecast for Anchorage with the high and low.

Made an #APRS digipeater recently, and put it in my attic. It detects APRS from folks driving near my house and forwards them to aprs.fl! It is powered by a Raspberry Pi, a SHARI and software called Direwolf. I also made the antenna for it out of some copper wire. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
