I bet it was labour of love. Need the dexterity of a 15 fingered swiss watch maker. Utterly brilliant! I loved the days when HiFi was also furniture.

Had a look on the CCTV from 21:50 to 22:15 16/06/25. Couldn't see anything transiting SW to NE from Narberth way. Periodically pick up satellites and meteors on the cams, however, conditions were somewhat overcast. The previously mentioned earth grazer sounds like a good explanation.

I can help with that, I have some stuff hanging around. (nooelec nano3) and an LNA 5v or 12v (your pick) if needed . Message me an addy where they will find you and I'll post on Wednesday.

The game is afoot. I'm keen to compare and probably/possibly troubleshoot. It looks simple enough (famous last words)

I'm back from my travels and plan this project beginning next Monday. I picked up some nice PCB mount SMA connectors while away, just need to order the PCB material and commence. Are you still up for it?

A significant step up from applying contact to text books. Amazing attention to detail. Lucky you

Yes indeed, drones hardened against radio-frequency weapons are already developed by the likes of DIEHL. Around and around it goes. As a UK manufacturer said at the last trade show, "war is good for business". I hear (134.650) and see (ADSB) the thale calibrator is doing circuits and RSL's again.

Good point. i'll tune in from Singapore. See you on the flip

It's funny how the military industry works. In the same breath one of the developers is advertising the weapons success, it has also clinched a sales deal for thousands of drones to an asia pacific nation.

It certainly explains the flurry of activity on QinetiQ DMR frequencies a while ago. Unfortunately not something ADSB picks up. Pity the poor fly that's hitching a ride.

Cannot complain about that . I bet that's satisfying

It's a stunner for sure, a perfect backdrop for a brekkie beverage . We also awoke to a strange glowing orb in the sky. A phenomenon that hasn't been seen for a while here.

That also generates AF if you touch it by mistake. A farm has horses 1/4 mile away and periodically uses an electric fence to section off a paddock and the tic tic tic is probably the one that's hardest to ignore. Fortunately it isn't continuously on. Good practice for transmitter "fox hunting"😆

Don't underestimate the RF generating capacity of Farm equipment. Welders, grinders, compressors, floodlights the list goes on

😆 Plenty on ADSB mostly Cronus c/s (old Watchkeepers) but they are testing the new models at Aberporth all the time. Some "Wingman" project flights seen a while ago with A/C from Valley

The eraser on the contacts trick is a highly underestimated cure for the green grunge affliction. Used to do that on PCI cards to bring them back from the dead

You might be right. It happens with regular monotony here, but hey the clouds are breaking up here right now. I'll set the camera up and see anyway although the temp is set to drop below 4°C after sunset.
