🎧 Audio Remastered HR4BTC Ham Radio Video Release A year ago, when I first made this video, I was just getting started and had no idea what I was doing, especially when it came to recorded audio. The sound quality was very rough. Recently, @LZP offered to remaster the audio. I still don’t know how he did it, but the result is a huge improvement. Any remaining imperfections are from the original recording and not a reflection of his work. He did an outstanding job with very limited source material. Make sure to give a follow. https://youtu.be/YbyF3TtJRoc

You’ve Never Seen Wi-Fi Go This Far By Data Slayer “Most people think Wi-Fi stops after a few hundred feet—but this $5 Wi-Fi HaLow board proves otherwise. In this video, I live stream from a quarter mile away and run real-world tests through concrete, stairs, and long distances to see if it truly delivers. Spoiler: It’s open-source, low-power, and could be the future of off-grid connectivity.” #wifi #radio #seeedstudio #HaLow #hamradio #amateurradio https://youtu.be/3-KmnacJj88

The rush to claim vanity geohashes in bitchat has officially begun. For example, there are opportunities to claim territory in the arctic for rooms that begin #BTC. Claim a territory by posting a message in it and replying to this thread with your vanity #bitchat #geotag. I claim geotag #HR4BTC. We may have to do a group chat in there sometime soon.
