a blog about sound & signals by windytan [oona räisänen]

This story, too, begins with noise. I was browsing the radio waves with a software radio, looking for mysteries to accompany my ginger tea. I had started to notice a wide-band spiky signal on a number of frequencies that only seemed to appear indoors. Some sort of interference from electronic devices, probably. Spoiler alert, it eventually led me to broadcast a webcam picture over the radio waves... but how?

The mystery deepened when I listened to how this interference sounded like as an AM signal. It reminded me of a time I mistakenly plugged our home stereo system to the Nintendo console's video output and heard a very similar buzz.
