One beans place in space.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about the 2 way radios in my car. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time (4 days in total!) reworking the entire boot of the car to tidy things up and make them much more presentable!
Here are some photos of the new setup.
There is still a little bit of tidying up of wiring etc – but it’s a very nice setup and leaves HEAPs of boot space available for every day usage.
I’ve been a bit slack lately in updating this site – things have been VERY busy. Aviation wise, I’ve passed all but one CPL examination – Performance and Planning. DeviceUpdate has hit over 420,000 app downloads and going strong with very little overall load on the mirror system or indexing system. Radio wise, I’ve done a little bit of work on a new online scanner and it’s now up and running about 95%.
All in all, I’m still very busy, but I haven’t fallen off the end of the world yet

The foundation license is a newish class of amateur radio license that allows the operator to use up to 10 watts transmitter power on:
For those interested in starting out with radio communications, you should check out this course. It’s great for people with no previous experience, and a great way to get on air.
Ok, so if you haven’t figured this out already, I really like microwaves and other RF emitting devices. What I never thought of before however is how to measure the speed of light using a microwave.
Mr Hood (a friendly English physics teacher) shows us exactly how to do this in this article. Certainly a case of thinking outside the box
