For commoner (amateur :grin:) it is spicy, but itā€™s pretty standard corporate, in person training from pro with actual hands on experience ā€¦

Apple GSX was crazy pricey back in the day

:rofl: In addition to everything else I have to do being the only returning De-Icer at a 3-person station, Iā€™m also our part-time mechanic. And we have a pile of crap that wasnā€™t fixed last year because the local guy they hired as the mechanic was an idiot and actually broke more things than he fixed.

Plus training in the 2 new guys they brought in. Plus Delta management canā€™t get their shit together, so Iā€™m the only one on the roster allowed to spray their planesā€¦

One heavy ice day, one snow day, and a couple frost days so far, so been making plenty of $$ for the company.

Hang in there iceman, youā€™ll clear that slot eventually,

May you bask the the warmth of the type I spray,
The boom move as fast as you need,
the rivets be felt, the ground hose never needed
The refractometer always read good, and your heater be fueled

No, but Iā€™ve dipped my toes into SDR, got a bit overwhelmed by the HackRF, so Iā€™m backing up to GMRS/Ham and slowly reintroducing the HackRF :sweat_smile:

The Talking Sasquatch (whos video guide I followed to do the Flipper Zero RGB mod (supplied by Hamspiced))
has done a suite of Hack RF One videos that might be good :person_shrugging:

I havenā€™t watched them myself.

Was actually pretty good todayā€¦ we have to call airport OPs to open containment before we spray. Got several fines (like $8 grand worth) last year, and a threat to pull our airport contract if we did it again.

Spent 10 minutes chatting with Skywest pilot this morning sitting at the pad because OPs wasnā€™t answering their phone to open containment. Hoping Skywest/United mgr throws their weight around and yells at OPs for us.

Heh, nice thing about me being our MX, I actually bumped up the speeds on my truck. So now she drives/turns/booms just a wee bit faster :smiling_imp:

His Mayhem backpack video are good if youā€™ve never touched one, but he doesnā€™t do anything other than ā€œhere is this menu and here is that oneā€. Some of his videos are good, but it seam to more and more becoming advertising for whatever product he is demoing (seams to be a recurring trend on YT ā€¦ LPL comes to mind :roll_eyes:)

Michel Ossmann made some great videos on it (hackRF One), but I donā€™t quite get 100% of the nuances because I donā€™t quite know all the nuances of modulation and signal processing ā€¦ The more I digg, the more I realize how little I actually understand on the stuff I use everyday :sweat_smile:

Currently revisiting my, ā€œFuck it, Iā€™ll just moveā€ plan. It may or may not just be a mood, weā€™ll see.

Thoughts on where?

Parameters.
Want nice year round weather.
Reasonable cost of living.
I work as a CNC machinist, but Iā€™m not married to it.
Hate big cities.

nice year round weather usually comes with pretty devestating chances of natural disaster.

Hurricanes, earthquakes, Tornados. at least in the US.
