Welcome to SDRx, where you can remotely connect to RTL-SDR devices and stream live, raw I/Q data. Radio stations are tunneled and can be controlled remotely through a distributed server network.

The previous service hosted at SDRx was suspended due to a lack of interest from the community (nobody contacted us to add any receiver in a month). However, we are thinking about a new concept that would suit the interests of the community better, more specifically as a directory or meta-directory service. So stay tuned and come back here in a few weeks! In the meantime, our local SDR receiver is still online.

The idea for Loose Ends came about when the founders, Jennifer Simonic and Masey Kaplan, both avid knitters, realized that they had a shared experience: Friends would often ask them to finish blankets, sweaters, or other projects left undone by deceased loved ones. They always do so enthusiastically, understanding what it feels like to wear something a loved one has made.

When Loose Ends receives a project submission, we look through our database of finishers to find a good match. With an eye toward geography, skill level, and druthers, we will identify a good fit based on the information volunteer finishers submitted in their profiles. The next step is running this by the finishers themselves to find out if they’re feeling it too.

Once a finisher says yes to a project, we make the connection by introducing the finisher and project holder in an email. Then… we step away and let the project evolve within this new connection. We are always here to troubleshoot, advise or reassign if needed.

The main operational goal of the project is to establish a decentralized science-grade instrument which observes the night sky every night of the year from as many locations around the world as possible.

Providing the meteor community with real-time awareness of the near-Earth meteoroid environment by publishing orbits of all observed meteors from all around the globe every morning.

Observing meteor showers, computing their flux, mass indices and orbits to constrain meteor shower prediction models.

Observing meteorite producing fireballs to increase the number of meteorites with know orbits (only ~50 circa 2021, more info: http://www.meteoriteorbits.info/) and help constrain meteorite source regions.

A site where people study information about themselves - genomics, text, social networks - and share their techniques for doing so. I'm not entirely sure I'd feel safe uploading anything here, but at the very least some techniques could be learned from it.

A crowdsourcing service which lets lets people who are visually impaired call for visual assistance from their smartphones.
