Spent yesterday on Low-tech ship comms.
Started with listening to #morsecode on 17MHz from KPH. Then I changed channels to receive #WeFax on 7MHz.
Moving onto satellite systems: sent a test message via #GMDSS Sat-C (600 bps), and ended with 4 emails being sent in about 2 hours at 4800 baud using a satellite dialup connection (VSAT).
Good times.
@wessexweather Looks perfect to me 😀 Just received on 3855 kHz....no noisy neighbours atm 😉 #wefax
@wessexweather (Electronic) noisy neighbours, can't avoid'em unfortunately, although now in a more rural environment #wefax
WEFAX images from today
not seen the geopotential height chart before, so not sure what its used for
Ali would not have approved ...
B&W portrait photo of Muhammad Ali encoded to audio using APT, re-encoded to 8 kHz MP3 by the very fast lo-fi shineenc encoder, then decoded to a picture again.
APT is the audio format used by weather satellite transmissions. I am (mis)using it here for art purposes
