2024 Week 38/39: Status and Photos

I'm currently working on revamping Rob's NNCP guide. I've tested quite a few features and configurations, some of which I had no exposure to when I wrote the original guide. I started with creating four sample configurations that can run alongside each other simultaneously; those configurations are finished as of tonight, and now I just need to rework what I've already written to include them. The guide will be split into sections and hosted in the "Miscellany" part of my capsule soon.
Many guides I've seen on amateur radio focus on getting on the air to talk to other hams. I'm interested in digital communications, especially infrastructure and protocols to send data between computers--essentially an off-grid radio-powered Internet. Are there guides out there that focus on this particular use of amateur radio? I haven't seen much yet, but admittedly I've only done a few cursory searches.

One evening this week, after an exhausting day at work, my wife and I went out for dinner. I needed to make a pit stop before eating, so I ducked into the restroom at the restaurant. What awaited me was a wall of bright, colorful cartoony flowers with huge smiles on their faces. I get that sometimes in life all you need to do is smile, but I'm generally not going to the washroom looking for such sentiments.

In rural parts of the American Midwest, there are plenty of open fields in the farmlands and one-storey buildings in town. This makes it easy to view features of the sky that are difficult to see in built-up areas. We often catch the fading glow of the sun as it dips below the horizon--and when clouds are present, some sights are quite striking.
