Today I learned that several of my neighbors are using 90s era unencrypted landline cordless telephones that I can pick up with my SDR Radio.

I promise to use this information responsibly.

Cross my heart.

Am I the only one who thinks those "Post unflattering pictures of Trump, he hates them!" is Not a Good Thing? I know I hate pictures of myself - I'd hate to have them floating around the Universe.

Hmm. Do I put more money into buying a replacement antenna for a shortwave radio because I tore one up trying to make a better antenna?

Replacement would just be to replace the one I tore up - it won't make anything better, really. :/
