General Radio Discussion / Channeling Star Trek: Researchers to Begin Fusion Impulse Engine Experiments
« on: October 03, 2012, 1212 UTC »
Star Trek fans take note: Have a seat before you read the next sentence or prepare to swoon.
University of Alabama-Huntsville (UAH) aerospace engineers working with NASA, Boeing and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are investigating how to build fusion impulse rocket engines for extremely high-speed space travel.
“Star Trek fans love it, especially when we call the concept an impulse drive, which is what it is,” says team member Ross Cortez, an aerospace engineering Ph.D. candidate at UAH’s Aerophysics Research Center.
Stay seated Trekkies, because there’s more.
“The fusion fuel we’re focusing on is deuterium [a stable isotope of hydrogen] and Li6 [a stable isotope of the metal lithium] in a crystal structure. That’s basically dilithium crystals we’re using,” Cortez says, referring to the real-world equivalent of the fictional element used to power Star Trek’s Starship Enterprise...

North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6930 USB 0501 UTC
« on: October 02, 2012, 1208 UTC »
Sign on direct into music, heavy metal perhaps? Difficult to describe, and I did not recognize any of the tunes. Started off with a very good signal, S9, fading down to about S7 or S8 near the end of the transmission. Possible ID at 0548 by a robotic sounding voice, but it was impossible to make out what was being said, then off.

General Radio Discussion / LightSquared asks to share weather-balloon spectrum for its LTE network
« on: October 01, 2012, 1341 UTC »
Embattled satellite carrier LightSquared proposed on Friday that the government let it share spectrum with federal uses such as weather balloons so it can get enough spectrum to launch its proposed national LTE mobile network...
...What LightSquared wants to do is take one 5MHz band that it already uses for its satellite service (at 1670-1675MHz) and combine that with the next band up (1675-1680MHz), which is used for federal purposes including National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration weather balloons. The government could keep using that band, while LightSquared's LTE network would share it...
