The RF Workbench / AD9833_SPI
« on: December 05, 2019, 0009 UTC »
I've been looking at directly programming the AD9833 chip by SPI without
using a microcontroller. Still a work in progress. Here are some links you
may find interesting.

Huh? / Re: UNID 5100 AM 1410 UTC 28 Jun 2019
« on: June 28, 2019, 2229 UTC »
I read these posts and sometimes copy and past the title/artist into youtube and watch them. So I did that for "Head Held High"-Kodaline. I don't know what was worse, that or the ad for Epoch Times that played before it. Same for the other tunes.

10/11 meters / Three digit identifier on CB
« on: June 14, 2019, 1722 UTC »
Now that the CB band is open most of the time I listen now and then.
I hear many operators using three digit identifiers. I did a quick search here and on the web but did not find anything explaining it. So I'm asking here...

Huh? / What Barr’s color-coding of the redacted Mueller report means
« on: April 15, 2019, 2139 UTC »
It's simple. (Andrew Harnik/AP)

“[Barr] plans to redact four categories of information: grand jury material, information that could reveal intelligence sources and methods, details that could compromise ongoing investigations, and information impacting ‘peripheral’ third parties.”
— The Hill
Green: Grand jury testimony.
Red: Reveals intelligence sources and methods.
Blue: Compromises ongoing investigation.
Orange: Impacts peripheral third party.
Teal: Blue marker ran out.
Salmon: Reveals unflattering detail about the experience of staying at a Trump property or resort.
Crossed Out In Gold: President Trump was trying to highlight because he thought it exculpatory but pen was too big.
Whited Out: Not redacted, just a typo.
Crossed Out in a Zodiac Symbol With Many Tiny Pen Strokes: Person redacting watched cursed videotape.
Each Letter Filled Meticulously by a Variety of Colors to Form a Picture of Saint Patrick Blessing What Looks Like a Diseased Hippopotamus: Guy who was redacting went on break, monk took over.
Covered in Layers of Aluminum Foil: Redactor suddenly became aware this went all the way to the top.
Crossed Out in Pencil With Question Mark Written on Side: Redactor wasn’t sure of information’s importance, reminder to go back and ask someone, oops!
Yellow: This isn’t redacting! This is highlighting!
Purple: Information compromises Byzantine emperor.
Pale Green: Information reminded redactor of spring.
Turquoise: Information reminded redactor of last time he felt truly still.
Half-Inch Streak of Gorgeous Lavender: Lovely word the redactor wanted to keep to himself.
Brown Splotch: Redactor was eating gravy and spilled some on report.
