gollark: The thumbnail looks like it's showing you receiving at 87MHz or so. So just many harmonics?
gollark: I had to look up Nyquist zones but that sounds plausible I guess.
gollark: So nyquistishly you could only transmit up to 40.
gollark: I can't really check this right now due to being on my phone; how does it work? I thought the useful ESP32 peripherals for this (I²S and maybe the RMT one) only went to 80MHz.
gollark: Just become sovereign so you can set your own laws about it.
