gollark: A what?
gollark: Neat. I'm vaguely interested in ham radio, but haven't actually done anything ham-radio-y, since I'm quite lazy and the nearest clubs are quite far away.
gollark: I also used it to pick up ADS-B a bit, but it wasn't massively interesting since I had a not-very-optimized antenna and hadn't got a high-up outdoorsy spot for it.
gollark: Probably.
gollark: It's not very hard. There's software for it already.
