I’m passionate about radio signals and interested in technology and space. I also spend much time flying on Vatsim network with my Airbus A320 Home Cockpit. Project page and blogs posts about my home cockpit will be published soon.
On this site I publish posts and links about the topics of that interest me. Topics include science, astronomy, technology, radio Astronomy, radio communications, nature, space and many more. The content are in Finnish and also in English.
You can find more about my work experience on my LinkedIn page.
Balcony antenna setup for VHF/UHF/SAT bands
My balcony antenna setup for VHF, UHF and SAT bands. I receive LEO-satellites on 145 MHz and on 437 MHz and undecoded traffic on Military Air band on 240-380 MHz. On L-band I receive Air Traffic ACARS-messages and ships STD-C messages and EGC/LES data traffic from Inmarsat(Alphasat) satellite. Every now and the I also listen radio amateurs working on QO-100 satellite on 10 GHz. Satellite dish diameter is 90 [...]

Receiving old Russian Military COSMOS Navigation Satellite Signal – Video
Receiving Cosmos 2463 satellite with SDR# software and SIRIO SD 1300 N Discone Antenna 25 MHz - 1.3 GHz antenna powered with amplifier. For satellites tracking I use Orbitron. Cosmos satellites are old Russian Navy navigation satellites that are no longer in use. See more information below. "The Russian Military Parus satellites are/where used for low-earth orbiting navigation information and store-dump radio communications relay service for Red Navy surface [...]
Projekti: Etäohjattava Raspberry Pi 3 Model B + Webcam + SDR-dongle
Harrastustoimenpiteenä oli rakentaa roiskeveden sekä pölyn kestävä(IP67) salkku(mitat: 33x28x12 cm), jonka voi tarvittaessa viedä mihin tahansa ja siihen saa etäkäyttöyhteyden internetin välityksellä. Laitteen toiminnasta: Kun internetyhteys muodostuu 4G-mokkulalla, ohjelma Raspberryssä päivittää IP-osoitteen noip.com -palveluun. Näin ollen käyttäjän ei tarvitse etsiä IP-osoitetta, tarvitsee vain muistaa verkko-osoite. Ulkoinen virransyöttö lataa Varta-akkua joka syöttää virtaa Clash Ohlson akkuun mihin Raspberry on kytketty. Tällä järjestelyllä virransyöttö ei katkea kun virransyöttö aurinkopaneelista katkeaa pilvisellä [...]
