I received an email from John Graham-Cumming telling me my code was in the original Terminator movie. And it's true! Here's the still from the movie:

@cemaxecuter Ok! I'm shutting down now for the weekend, but I'll check out "airframes io" sometime on Sunday!

@ThrillScience The airframes io discord, but I do have one too. I need to get a code for it again lol

I like the new web interface! Thanks @cemaxecuter #iridium

@cemaxecuter You have a discord? I need to check it out.

@ThrillScience Looking good!! More work to be done im sure, but getting good feedback from th guys on discord.

I knew I saved these for a reason..🤓 details: youtube.com/watch?v=7WOCGt…

@K3TripleR I leased some space in my office to a person who has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from MIT (and is a lapsed PE) who plugged a space heater into a power strip, that had char marks on it just like in the photo. I now make sure my leases say "no space heaters."

I assume all 14,300 of my Ham Radio Followers here on X already know this… But just in case there are one or two who don't…

@thewebbie I can refuse געבראקטס during seven of the eight days.

An offer you can’t refuse… during the eight days.

📸This week's #PhotoFriday features a magnetic-loop antenna and a wireless tuner built by David A Allen, G8LHD. David says "As anyone who has built a magnetic loop antenna knows, its tuning is very sharp and is affected by its surroundings", this is why he decided that some form of remote tuning was needed. #RSGBmembers - find out how he got on in April's #RadCom 👉rsgb.org/radcom #amateurradio #hamr #antennas #homebrew #radioamateur #radiocommunication #antenna #hamradioequipment

This is a krytron, a high-speed trigger switch historically used in nuclear weaponry to control the timing of detonation circuits. It’s an ultra fast, gas-filled tube that works by using a small electrical trigger to ionize gas inside, which instantly allows a much larger current to flow. The ability to switch high currents almost instantly is what makes it useful in systems where extremely precise timing is critical. Some krytrons contain a small amount of radioactive material (like Nickel-63 or krypton-85) to help the gas ionize more reliably. Krytrons were developed in the early 1950s and used primarily through the 1970s, especially during the Cold War. In nuclear weapons, they were part of firing circuits that required multiple electrical pulses to occur at almost exactly the same moment. They were also employed in scientific and industrial applications such as pulsed lasers and high-speed photography. Legally, krytrons are heavily controlled under export regulations like the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). They are legal to own in the U.S., but exporting them internationally without proper authorization is strictly prohibited.☢️

Western Electric 2N67 point contact transistor. In1953 with the Manchester TC (Transistor Computer) and Bell Labs TRADIC (1954). These early designs employed discrete transistors in registers, small memory circuits that held content for immediate use by the CPU.

It's nice looking, too!

And there will be no consequences

3D printed stencils are the superior stencils, no more being beholden to big stencil. Take a look at how fast and easy it is to apply, no messing around with tape or surrounding it with other boards. It’s only going to get better from here.

Very "noisy" day for 20 m 14.230 MHz SSTV images reception in Metro Vancouver today. First image arrived at 7 AM local and last one decoded at 6:30 PM local. Using MLA-30+ loop antenna, SDRplay RSPduo tuner (also running 20 m WSPR decodes). @K3TripleR @DustinFinn @N4JAW
