Mowgli could not help laughing when the Bandar-log began, twenty at a time, to tell him how great and wise and strong and gentle they were, and how foolish he was to wish to leave them. "We are great. We are free. We are wonderful. We are the most wonderful people in all the jungle! We all say so, and so it must be true," they shouted. -- Kaa's Hunting

It's an easy test though and it can be an SMD component and some PUR-coated magnet wire or 30 awg single stranded kynar hookup wire.

Use a small amount of glue from a hot glue gun to fixate it when done, or epoxy if that's your thing. Avoid cyanoacrylate. Not always needed but I imagine a drone moves around alot.

Bodge wiring is a good skill to acquire - PCBs will not always be perfect. Maybe practice on something else first?

> Not using MOSFETs would make it faster, in theory.

My understanding is that the MOS 6502 was MOS, so MOSFET. Not using MOSFETs would make it less of a replica.

Implementing the replica in an integrated circuit instead of discrete transistors would lower capacitance.

The delay time is a consequence of the capacitance.

I was trying to say that a capacitor and diode (detector) is not a complete receiver.

Under what circumstances is a diode and a capacitor enough to make a radio receiver?

Doesn't the RP2040 require external qspi flash? What does that cost?

MCP2200 is ~$2.50 in single units and you don't have to deal with firmware or programming.

PUR-coated copper wire, .15mm diameter is pretty good. .1mm when needed. Use flux, good lightning and some (~10x) magnification.

Monarda is many plants. Any one of them in particular?

Will I get the same effect drinking Earl Grey tea?

VK2 is New South Wales, not sure what the seismic activity is there but they do appear to get earthquakes according to Wikipedia.

Still used a bunch of CRIS cores for ARTPEC-6 for scheduling scaler and trfm jobs and some other things, are they completely gone now?

2200 meter is LF (30-300kHz). Used mainly with huge coils and low power (1W EIRP). then there's VLF (3-30kHz). Then there's ULF (300Hz-3kHz) Then there's ELF (below 300 Hz), used by the stations in question. To put things into perspective.

Speaking of VLF, SAQ will broadcast on 17.2 kHz on July 2nd. You can pick it up with a soundcard directly (not using a DVB-T chip) depending on your location and use of antenna.

You need crop rotation for beans at least. To lower the risk of parasites and deceased.

My experience is that it's hard to get right, messes with crop rotation and lower yield.

I've had beans overtaking the maize and I've had squash overtaking the beans.

YMMV.
