Software-Defined Radio. Pretty cheap entry and fun to screw with. I recently moved to the sticks and now there is nothing to find, sadly.

Recently started writing niche essays on video games but haven't had the best time coming up with more ideas and have 0 ability to advertise my own work.

I also have this weird thing wear I take pictures of the cats on cat-product packaging because I'm afraid they'll be forgotten.

Actually, you are quite lucky with SDR, as there are many such stations on the Internet where you can tune in locally at that location and listen as if you are there. I operate one for listening to our local ham radio frequencies on VHF at https://openwebrx.gadgeteerza.co.za. But mine is very simple compared to some of the more complex one's available.

Oh huh, this seems cool. Excited to screw around with this new knowledge
