I still haven't done anything with my technician license. I mostly wanted to figure out what antenna I could reasonably get (and what I could do with my lovely RTL-SDR from over a year ago), but I've really fallen out of the loop. Apparently the latest RTLSDR doesn't need an upconverter? I live in an apartment, too, so it's not like I have the freedom to hang up anything extravagant. It was nice listening around the 400mhz areas and hearing the local school bus system, though.  "No matter what I do, it won't go over 25mph!"

A little of both; the main reason I got into the radio hobby at all is because of my interest in pirate/spy broadcasts. I know the outlook for those isn't too good, being land-locked in Las Vegas (which is probably an interference hellscape), but I'd still like to be able to putz around and listen to conversations.  I have a pretty decent balcony, at least. I've looked over a few lists of frequencies for this town but it seems to be out of date, with a lot of them never becoming active over hours of watching. Some other ones did work, though. I'm not sure if my RTL-SDR is even tuned properly because I think I was picking up the local weather service a few mhz off of where it should've been, but I haven't messed with it in a while.

Sniep posted:it wont be the police a lot of pirates still seem to broadcast, though, aren't there a few really well known/infamous ones or do they only start to really give a poo poo when it's interfering with actual broadcasts instead of some normally silent part of the band

A bunch of white supremacists here in Denver have my callsign and I fear for the future. Especially with the rampant increase in doxxing, swatting etc. I'm always worried that callsigns being easily-lookupable will lead to awful things happening in this day and age. Stay safe.
