Recently got my new little HT, the Quansheng UV-K1. What separates it from the other budget Chinese HTs is that it is open to flash whatever firmware you want on it!

The current premier firmware for it is the F4HWN fork adding a TON of features and capability.

• Increases the channel count from 200 to 1024
• Super fast scanning
• Spectrum Analyzer
• Improves AM RX
• SSB RX, DSB TX
• Theoretically can RX 50 - 1000~ Mhz
• Bunch of other QoL...

This Sunday, May 31 ~16:00 UTC, the Toronto Amateur Radio Club (VE3TNC), will be activating Sunnybrook Park Wilderness Park (CA-5670).

We will be activating on multiple bands and multiple modes including Voice, CW, and FT8. So if you're interested in hunting us be on the lookout for our POTA spot!

Happy Hunting and 73!

Back in August I did a 5 day long capture of Goes-19 which is a geostationary weather satellite that takes full disk pictures of earth at different wavelengths and broadcasts them back down for anyone with the right equipment to hear.

Using these pictures and some interpolation to smooth it (Goes only takes pictures every 30 minutes), I created a time lapse showing the day/night cycle and cloud movement. Overall I captured just over 300 Gb of data.
