Pi Pico Rx – A crystal radio for the digital age?
(readthedocs.io)
The Pi Pico Rx - may be the answer to that question. While it may not be quite as straightforward as the crystal radio, the Pi Pico Rx presents a remarkably simple solution. Armed with just a Raspberry Pi Pico, an analogue switch, and an op-amp, we now have the power to construct a capable SDR receiver covering the LW, MW, and SW bands. With the ability to receive signals from halfway around the globe.

Tiny Ten DSP-Based HF Transceiver
(janbob.com)
This all started while on a backpack in Oregon's Cascade Mountains. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery of our alpine valley. The lake in front of the tent was crystal clear and reflected the surrounding mountains. But, radio signals were all shielded from us. Not only were there no Cell signals, but we could only receive one weak FM broadcast station.

For > 50 years BBC Somali service inadvertently broadcasted anti-colonial msg
(theguardian.com)
The British Broadcasting Corporation’s Somali service theme tune is one of the most popular and recognisable sounds for people in Somalia and the diaspora. With a whistling rhythm and melody, it is authoritative and catchy. The words that follow the music haven’t changed for more than 60 years: “Halkaniwaa BBC – this is the BBC.”

Analog radio broadcasts are pretty simple, right? Tune into a given frequency on the AM or FM bands, and what you hear is what you get. Or at least, that used to be the way, before smart engineers started figuring out all kinds of sneaky ways for extra signals to hop on to mainstream broadcasts.

Software-defined (Internet) radio with Liquidsoap (2023)

This is going to be another short “how-to” blog post on music management, this time on declarative Internet radio streaming with Liquidsoap. I couldn’t find a ton of great examples of Liquidsoap online while defining my own radio stream (besides the project’s own excellent docs), so I figured I’d write one.
