Grain Carter turned East/Wester then North/Wester, now a Tanker Yanker. 30+ years and somewhere around 7-8,000,000km behind the wheel. Raised in the wheatbelt.
Something I’ve been trying to do for ages - run a SDR on a phone. Bought a secondhand Pixel 7 Pro and I just managed to receive the ADS-B data from a Virgin plane flying overhead using a cheap SDR and the totally wrong antenna. But it worked!
Ever notice how new and shiny the MRWA vehicles are? Yet their roads are definitely nowhere as nice. I’ve had a busy 7 days - done a lot of kilometres. But I’ve never felt this battered and bruised because of it before. Think they’re maybe spending money on the wrong things?
