I went to defcon once and learned there about rtl-sdr.com . When I copypasted the article that advertised low-end products, my suffering reduced. It was nice, it was a topic I like. I want to buy them! I looked for other recent articles, maybe mentioning some of ettus's full-spectrum products, didn't find that but I did find a current article from hackaday.com where somebody had run their own weather satellite, and used an SDR to pretend to be a fake sensor and give fake data. My suffering increased when I began to share this, and I ended up deciding not to.

RTL-SDR.com Two Antenna Reviews and New SDR++ Decoder 12/23/2021

RTL-SDR (RTL2832U) and software defined radio news and projects. Also featuring Airspy, HackRF, FCD, SDRplay and more. - https://www.rtl-sdr.com/techminds-testing-the-ga-450-portable-hf-active-loo… December 23, 2021 TechMinds: Testing the GA-450 Portable HF Active Loop Antenna Over on the Techminds YouTube channel, Matt has uploaded his latest video which is a review of the GA-450 portable HF active loop antenna. The antenna costs between US$60-$80 + shipping and is available on Chinese market sites like Aliexpress [1] and Banggood [2]. It's advertised as covering 2.3 - 30 MHz, and uses a very portable and sturdy 20cm stainless steel loop. The active base amplifier is powered via a USB-C connector, and it even has a built in lithium battery for portable field use. In his review Matt shows the antenna in action, noting that it's performance is quite a lot better than expected for it's small size, but it can't compare to his large half-wave end fed antenna. He notes that it appears to work best from 7 - 21 MHz, but not so well below 7 MHz. Overall he recommends it if you're looking for a small sized loop antenna. 1: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002748091899.html 2: https://www.banggood.com/GA-450-GA450-Loop-Antenna-SDR-Short-Medium-Wave-Ra… 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKSY0kr43ks GA-450 Portable Active Small Loop HF Antenna - https://www.rtl-sdr.com/nils-reviews-our-rtl-sdr-blog-l-band-active-patch-a… December 23, 2021 Nils Reviews our RTL-SDR Blog L-Band Active Patch Antenna Over on his blog Nils Schiffhauer (DK8OK) has recently uploaded a review[1] of our RTL-SDR Blog Active L-Band Patch Antenna. This is a satellite patch antenna designed for experimenters who want to receive Inmarsat, Iridium, GPS and other GNSS signals. It covers 1525 - 1660 MHz. (Please note it does not cover GOES or other L-band weather satellites as these are much weaker signals that require a dish). The antenna comes as a set with mounting hardware and extension cable and can be purchased on our store[2] for $49.95 including free worldwide shipping to most countries. In his review Nils tests the patch antenna with his wideband BladeRF software defined radio showing a wide 60 MHz of bandwidth being received. He then goes on to show it being used to receive AERO, via the JAERO decoder, and STD-C via the Tekmanoid decoder. We want to take this opportunity to pre-announce that due to rising shipping costs the price of this antenna set will be going up by $10 in early 2022. Before the price raise we will put out another post, but if you are interested in one we'd recommend picking one up soon. Nils tests the water resistance[3] of the antenna. 1: https://dk8ok.org/2021/12/16/rtl-sdr-active-patch-antenna/ 2: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/ 3: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/patch_antenna_1.jpg - https://www.rtl-sdr.com/a-rs41-and-dfm09-radiosonde-decoder-plugin-for-sdr/ December 23, 2021 A RS41 and DFM09 Radiosonde Decoder Plugin for SDR++ A new decoder[1] for RS41 and DFM09 radiosondes has been released as a plugin for SDR++ by dbDexter. A radiosonde is a sensor package with RF transmitter that is attached to a weather balloon. Meteorological agencies around the world typically launch two per day in order to gather weather forecast data. With an RTL-SDR, appropriate antenna and a decoder it is possible to receive this data, and plot the GPS location on a map. Installing a plugin for SDR++ requires adding the build options to the SDR++ source, and building SDR++, so it could be a little difficult for Windows, but relatively simple build instructions for Linux are provided in the Readme. A[2] Radiosonde Decoder for SDR++ Over on Twitter FelixTRG (@OK9UWU) has tested the plugin out and has found it to work well.

Longford Capital’s Justin Maleson is Bullish on Litigation Finance
by Gunnar Larson 23 Dec '21

23 Dec '21

New Article: Big Law’s acceptance and public embrace of litigation finance is a major milestone, says Justin Maleson of Longford Capital. As one of the first litigation funders in the United States, Longford sports a rich history of litigation finance innovation. LawDragon.com <https://www.lawdragon.com/legal-consultant-limelights/2021-12-20-legal-cons…> recently profiled Maleson in a broad discussion spanning Longford’s pioneering start, to how the funder is developing and driving creativity in litigation finance. Maleson underscores that the versatility of litigation finance is similar to a Swiss Army knife, allowing for different use case tools to fit unique situations. Longford rejects most litigation finance cases presented for evaluation. Hence, Maleson highlights his career as a defense attorney as prime background for assessing the best cases for investment. Maleson also notes that the litigation funding space will continue exponential success, with the right marketing propelling top tier investors. Maleson attributes Longford’s success to a novel, modern approach to litigation investment. The firm initially sprouted via single claim funding. Today, Longford monetization techniques include sophisticated portfolio products, inventive business development facilities and original defense solutions. The people behind Longford are what Maleson values most. He claims that if not for the close connections between his peers, the entire innovation and pioneering spirit at the company would be muted. https://litigationfinancejournal.com/longford-capitals-jason-maleson-is-bul… -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001

Proud Boys member Matthew Greene just pleaded guilty in court to not only obstruction of the January 6th vote certification, but also conspiracy charges. According to NBC4 Washington, Greene has agreed to fully cooperate with the Feds. This means he has to give up everyone else in the Proud Boys who participated in January 6th, or who committed any crime of any sort. https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/doj-just-made-a-major-breakthrough-in…
