I knew short waves before the iron curtain came down.
The shortest distance between two points depends on the propagation.

We recently bounced the message "VENUS ECHO" off the surface of Venus, and decoded the message from the echo. But we also sent a second 'secret' message, for you to decode. All raw received data and a description of the modulation used are now available at https://t.co/58jfFiatHx

Merci @RTLlu @rtlgroup de nous avoir permis d’être avec vous aujourd’hui à Beidweiler via le Live stream. Une page se tourne, la prochaine sera sûrement belle ! Et grâce à @BCE_Lux et les amis du broadcast en France nos voix voyageront encore… longtemps 😉

Ici en JN38 c'était un vrai ciel de Marconi.

Les trois mâts haubanés de 290 m du site de Beidweiler, qui assuraient la diffusion de RTL en grandes ondes sur 234 kHz jusqu'en 2023, ont été foudroyés cet après-midi. Le signal émis depuis cette infrastructure de 2000 kW portait à 2000 km 😥

It almost looks like this 1918 Blue Racer was originally nickel plated. Now I’m wondering if I should re-plate it or just paint it..

Stepping back in time with the legendary Heathkit HW-5400⚡️

🔀 @n0nb_us @hamradiogizmos @grok

​Introduced between 1983 and 1984, this HF transceiver holds a massive piece of radio history: it was the very last major HF base station kit ever designed and produced by Heathkit before they officially bowed out of the amateur radio market.

​Unlike its iconic tube-based predecessors (like the legendary HW-101), the HW-5400 went fully solid-state and microprocesssor-controlled.

But let’s talk about hardcore DIY: with a staggering 15 printed circuit boards, assembling this beast pushed the limits of the average kit-builder. In fact, things got so complex that in later production batches, Heathkit actually started shipping parts of the radio pre-assembled!

​(Honestly, we should totally organize a speed-assembly competition and send the winner straight to the Guinness World Records 😂)
​
🎥 Reel Credits and thanks: @robfrick103
Note: video slightly trimmed to under 1 minute

Enjoy the HW-5400 and thanks for watching.
