I also like collecting data - so put those two things together and having a personal weather station (PWS) at my house seemed like an obvious answer, right? I&rsquo;ve had one off and on at 3 different houses now. The &ldquo;off&rdquo; period was when a tornado destroyed the last one in 2020 and I finally bought a new one at the beginning of 2022.</p> https://brianolliff.com/blog/aircraft-tracking/ Sun, 18 Sep 2022 14:01:56 +0000 https://brianolliff.com/blog/aircraft-tracking/ <h2 id="amateur-radio-and-sdr">Amateur Radio and SDR</h2> <p>I&rsquo;ve always been interested in learning about radio frequencies and amateur radio topics. But until recently, that&rsquo;s all I was really doing - just learning about them and not doing anything hands on. In the past year I&rsquo;ve been working on changing that a little bit. I&rsquo;ve finally gotten my amateur radio license, and I&rsquo;ve purchased a couple of SDR (software defined radio) units to tinker with as well.</p>
