Talk about microwave safety, My late father was a Naval Radio Technician during WWII. He was assigned to the super secret Radar training on an island in Galveston Bay, Texas. He really liked the training course, as they were absolutely forbidden from bringing pen and paper to the island. Anyway, during the training, they had a small radar system with a rotating antenna. The course instructor ordered the men to one side of the room, and stopped the antenna facing the other direction. He put a hot dog on a stick and cooked it. Then he turned it back on, Dad said it felt like a heat lamp rotating around. Safety Third!

The concept of using microwaves for cooking food came from radar development. A WW2 engineer discovered that he could melt a chocolate bar with the radar signal. The power from my antenna isn't anywhere near what's needed to do that so don't you worry, I'm not running a primary radar system here.

@@manonamission2000 I don't think that it is possible for non-ionizing radiation to cause cancer. The only type of non-ionizing radiation that I know of that can have an effect on humans is Very low frequency RF used for submarine communication. I remember reading a report that was written in the 70s which summarized the effects of VLF Rf on humans that were observed during various tests. The summary basically said that VLF can have an effect on humans but only if a powerful transmitter(I don't remember the exact value but it was something like a kilowatt) is used and the person is near it. And it didn't mention anything about cancer or something like that. Only things like tremors and an increased heart rate which were speculated to be somehow caused by VLF RF interferring with the nervous system. Edit: Just wanted to add that If you have a high powered transmitter that RF can cook you but I think that was not worth mentioning because almost no amateur has a access to a several kilowatt transmitter xD.

One of the networks on a broadcast FM station I engineer for uses the same Newtec modem setup that lets them talk to all their equipment at the site and send the audio that goes over the air. It's very reliable from what I have seen. We use a very similar telephone box for remote broadcasts. These days it's cell from that back to the studios but I still have an old VHF link I can use in some cases.

They knew we built good quality VSAT terminals, which is exactly what they needed for use as a reference station. I just so happened to have a test dish up on the roof, and the ability to lock the frequency to our GPS frequency reference. Using their precise knowledge of the orbits of the geostationary satellites and thus the doppler, as well as the side lobes coming from a bird 4 satellites away, they were able to nail down the offending transmitter to an ellipse of about 0.5 by 1 mile ellipse. It was pretty cool, and I got some great SES Americom swag out of it.

The tests you have carried out are very good, at the moment I am using a Google translator because I speak Spanish. The problem with choppy and delayed sound is because you need a GPS or the modem software to be synchronized with time. Every telecommunications system requires that both sender and receiver must be synchronized and this is so that the signal frame is sent and received in a synchronized manner and not at the wrong time. If you use TDMA frame, it is demanding that it needs to be synchronized.

But the 711u bandwidth might have been what was killing the smooth clarity from the receiver. Curious if you could have a clean phone call with both on 729 :)

You can make them call eachother directly ATA to ATA on whatever dial plan you want, you can change the ringing style and about a thousand other parameters. They meet or exceed an Asterisk system in the field for lots of reasons. The only time I have seen one break is because a PhD Geologist pressed & held the reset button in while rebooting it (which takes real skill) and it bricked the device as it was looking for a new firmware update.

Phreaking a satellite, brilliant!

This is so cool!!! Thanks for sharing!

Is it possible to build a satellite setup, (To test the internet connection) without it being crazy expensive? (Cost of the dish and what not). I can't seem to find much on how to build something like that or find the right parts.

I’m an 0627, Satellite Systems Transmission Operator, with the USMC. It’s surrreal seeing a random guy using equipment like this lol. I’ve worked with up to 2.4m dish but this is super cool. What Spectrum Analyzer do you use? Also, who do you call to do a peak and pull on the civilian side?

How have I not seen this channel before!?

Lots of fun, I wonder if you are getting some interference on the dect phone when near the rig? Keep up the good work.

Peter, great stuff! Are you an IT Dude or Ham radio geek? (I am both :-D) I love microwaves and was one of the few who modified magnetron from certain oven and used it on 13cm as phased lock for EME.... (about 500W CW into 3meters dish....nice)

How did you modulate the microwave oven magnetron? Would the frequency not be fixed at 2.45 GHz? I have heard of this being done for HAM ATV.

Imagine hearing your neighbor boot up the satellite stealing set up in the back yard when they get home from work

I feel like all my childhood dreams came true when that phone rang

As a ex satellite internet installer this was funny to watch thanks for the laugh. Please don’t start in front of the dish those BUCs can put out a bit of juice.

believe it or not dialup is still a thing mostly in really rural locations in america

Do the neighbors have a pot going guessing the day you are carted away by people in black SUVs?

I was thinking the same when I noticed the IP address he got is in an ASN owned by US Electrodynamics Inc who are a satellite gateway company that boast they carry "Mission critical DOD services" according to their website.

Thanks!!!

This is fascinating!

Do you need some kind of an account to establish such a connection or is this free to use for anyone?

That birdbath must get nice and warm. You basically have a hot tub birdbath setup. Add a jet to it, and they'll never leave.

Who doesn't like a hot bath ?

Wow! Really smart. Wish I could do something like that.

Old school vibes, dig it.

It might be slow but a terminal Linux is all you need anyway to make some damage within somebody's network with that speed still.

Nutty! Love it.

Glad you like it!

Your sign lol. Better than the ones that come on those recievers. I looked at one ,one time and it said stand 15 ft back. The writting was so small I had to stick my head in the dish to read it.

50Watts?! That’s nothing. I have a microwave that’s 800W and it’ll even make my dinner for me 😂 I enjoyed the video thanks. I love this sort of stuff. Well done sir.

You and very smart congratulations on the work

Thank you! Cheers!

Are they giving free access with limited speed without subscription or you actually have account and subscription?
