The VK2DJG blog

I’ve finally upgraded the software that drives this blog. It’s now running WordPress v2.2. Let me know if you notice something broken.

I recorded the carrier to noise level at the modem during a sun transit outage on my satellite-provided internet connection. The story and graph can be found in the technology category of my personal blog.

A photograph of the satellite antenna that’s on the house roof and that’s used for the internet link can be found on my photoblog.

It appears that SuitSat was shoved overboard from the Space Station, worked for a very short time, then failed.

I discovered another useful amateur radio blog-related resource today. Ben Sutton has created Planet Ham, a web site which aggregates various radio-related blogs. This brings the content of multiple blogs to you in one place, rather than you visiting multiple websites. In my case, though, I use news aggregation software running on my computer so the content comes to me rather than me having to go out and visit it. I do this by making use of Planet Ham’s RSS feed to get the best of both worlds.

PlanetPlanet is the home base for the software that Ben uses. It lists a subset of like-minded, aggregated blogs. Others that I read include Planet Linux Australia and TextPlanet.
