gollark: You can:- listen to FM radio- read worryingly unencrypted pager messages- observe many simple "smart" things using ISM bands- spy on nearby aircraft- find directions to things- listen to also worryingly unencrypted sometimes satellite communications
gollark: You should totally obtain an RTL-SDR because they are cheap and as an electronics human you would likely use it more than me.
