La radio sulla pelle...

Dopo diverse idee e ipotesi per un nuovo tatuaggio, ho optato per farmi tatuare una vecchia radio con antenna a telaio e cuffie ad alta impedenza. La bozza per lo stencil che mi ha convinto è stata questa:

Ieri grazie a Marty abile tatuatrice, nonchè fidanzata di mio figlio Mirko, mi son sottoposto a due ore di lavoro per ottenere sul polpaccio destro il tatuaggio definitivo.

Il motivo del polpaccio destro.... perchè ho pensato all'acronimo DX 😂

Brava Marty! Tatuagio perfetto.

Scansione DAB+

Oggi ho rieseguito la scansione dei canali DAB utilizzando la chiavetta RTL-SDR v.3, software Welle.io e antenna verticale bibanda che ho sul tetto per le frequenze vhf\uhf. I canali dall'ultima volta son più che raddoppiati, i MUX ricevuti sono:

C.R. DAB Lombardia

Radio Digitale Lombardia

Lombardia DAB

MediaDAB

SpaceDAB

EuroDAB Italia

DAB+ Rai

DAB Italia

a seguire la lista delle emittenti ricevute prese dalle videate di Welle.io dfinita la scansione.

La radio test evidenziata in giallo in realtà è Radio Vaticana.

A parte la stazione denominata No Name Radio che non era per nulla ricevibile, tutte le altre sono state perfettamente ricevute anche se qualche MUX non era a segnale pieno. Qualche ritardo si è presentato nel ricevere l'immagine\logo di alcune emittenti.

73 e buoni ascolti.

QSL SSTV 27MHz

Il giorno 7 Giugno sulla frequenza di 27.700 MHz c'era parecchio traffico SSTV. Ho trovato i riferimenti di Pascal 14VD274, al quale ho mandato una mia qsl e lui gentilmente ha risposto inviandomi la sua.
