  1. Published: Python → generates 3D Fresnel zone volume + LOS between two points and exports KML/KMZ for Google Earth. Great for quickly seeing whether “it should work” and why it doesn’t.

  6. Okay, #Math, #Geometry, and #Physics Mastodon:

    I am building an interactive visualization (using konvajs) to help people better understand the unintuitive nature of antenna masts.

    Again and again and again over the years I've met people who think increasing a mast's height a bit will have a significant impact on line-of-sight (LoS) transmissions (spoiler: it will not).

    OTOH, masts are *great* for getting over local obstacles.

  11. I spent the morning on #openscad trying to remember my #geometry homework from several decades ago, and it worked! I have all my core #wled #statusbar #lamp features basically appearing where and how I want! I'm not ready to send it to the #3dprinter again because I have some features to add, but now I can confidently direct them to any part of the object at any scale.

    As a reward I'm going to spend the afternoon flying #fpv next to an #AirForce transmitter site.

    One of these days I should get around to building a #warflyer module out of an #esp32 and a #whoop battery. Lots of cool neighbors on that site.
