If ADSC, ACARS, or Satcom are your thing, you have found the right guy. #osint #avgeeks decoding L & C-Band, HF, VHF ACARS messages. https://t.co/rAkzbse6VL

Website Update: Sites up, but the feeds are down. No ETA till I can figure out what's going on. You will just have to sit on the runway and wait for the dumpster fire to restart... Sorry for the delay.

Hey @wiglenet If you don't know, your app uploader is currently broken. It says "Unable to connect to WiGLE". Also, if you try to check rank, etc, under that menu, you get a broken connection icon. #AllTheWiFi some of the time. #wardrive but not just now.

Lastly, I'm looking to get my butt back on a motorcycle in the new year, so I am already thinking about how to set up 2-3 of the wardriving rigs on it. Won't be for in town, so no big numbers, but remote / rural rides, so will be getting out of town WiFi. Vibration-proof high

Speaking of the website, I've done a massive brain dump of everything I can remember about #wardriving over the past 10+ years. https://t.co/VY2euC7Lq2 If you have any input, DM, reply, or leave a comment (anonymous is Ok) on the blog. 4/

It was a great way to test out the #wiglefin 2.0. (Yes, it was in my checked baggage). Here is a sneak peek of it on the rental. Overall, I like it a lot—very sleek and a much cleaner look. Going to probably rework the hatch a bit before I put it up on the website for all to use.

Stoked to have the last day such a big one. #AllTheWiFi Pretty much the whole 5h30m was driving, and most of it was on new (no purple) ground, very high-density housing (I like a LOT more space and less/no HOA, but that's just me). Lots of snow and ice on the roads, which was new

Back at the hotel from 5h 30m 88 mile #wardrive Got great news that will take life in a different direction, one that has a ton less travel and driving in it, so in some ways today was my last official 100% wardrive day. Of course, I am still going to have the rigs running every

Just back from a little #wigle #wardrive to catch #AllTheWiFi One of my highest counts from lowest mileage ever. Denver is a target-rich environment! Probably going to end up with the usual 50% new new, but that's still pretty good for me. Once this week is over, my wardriving is

#earthquake M 6.8, NNE of Yakutat, Alaska Depth 5km The first earthquake to show up on my @raspishake since we moved to Idaho (Not happy with the vault it's in or what the interference is).

With the cost and availability of RAM (causing a price hike on the usual ACARS platform of a Raspberry Pi), I'm keeping my eye out for cheaper off-the-beaten-path options for small Linux platforms. This looks like a good Linux distro to test on when we find it. 10Mb. 23Mb with a

Website news. There is an issue with L-band ACARS in the Americas region due to a cut fiber cable at Pamalu Inmrasat ground station. They are reporting 8 to 20 hours to repair.

It's a busy morning in the skies over the oceans. Satcom feeds are working well (yeah, yeah, other than my C-Band dish - I'm working on it, will share details soon). Two sites in one screenshot: Top: https://t.co/7XwOLzMDKz Bottom: https://t.co/02odv9r782

Another busy week. The kitchen is as finished as we can do it at this point, so it's finally time to try and get my workshop into useful shape. Buddy came over and helped build a 6x10 foot (11 foot high off the floor) storage area. I need a LOT more floor space cleared up before

Not bolted in yet, but the grandson (and wife) are happy with the progress. (Everything in green is new.) Not sure what to do about a backsplash (if anything).

If you don't open it, do you even own it? And yes, along with removing the dead battery, I am going to give it a blow job. My name is @thebaldgeek, and I void warranties.

I just now signed off on the #wiglefin v2 renders. First articles will be in hand around Thanksgiving. Field testing and then if happy, post STL files to my #wardriving #AllTheWiFi blog: https://t.co/VY2euC7Lq2

I don't generally post much 'life' stuff since ACARS is so interesting and busy, but the last few months have been all about house repairs, renos, and such. Here I am just now oiling the wife's new butcher's block kitchen counter top. It's been 5 months and 2 days since we moved
