Radio, railways, stuff...

Ok... so HOW many times am I going to stare at a rather inactive fldigi screen after forgetting to turn the SignaLink box on!!

I managed to decode some Feldhell tonight after scrabbling about for the document showing what various data modes look like. It's a strange mode! Unfortunately the Spanish station sending it could not receive me so no QSO, but now at least I know what to look for. It takes me back to when I was interested in telegraphy systems as a kid, some decades ago now, but I'd never seen it in any form of action - represented by computer now rather than the machinery of old. Mind you what's to say the Spanish station does not have said machinery! There's a whole bunch of info over at https://www.nonstopsystems.com/radio/hellschreiber-function-operation.htm

I noticed just now that the Raspberry Pi that runs my ADBS receiver and also has '1-Wire' temperature sensors for the central heating registered a pipe temperature of a theoretically impossible -1700C. Oh, did I mention that my 20m / 6m dipole is in the loft... and the Pi is in the loft... about 2 feet from one leg of the dipole... Hmmm. I can see a connection here given the timestamp was the same as a JT65 transmission.
