I recently bought an RTL-SDR. I've had so much fun with it so far and learned so much, which was my goal. I designed my own antenna in Fusion 360 and built it. I'm currently developing my own SDR application with a custom spectrum display etc. So far I can demodulate AM/FM/SSB and I'm trying to get into decoding digital modes as well.

There is so much to learn and enjoy even without transmitting. I like to listen in on air traffic control and download weather satellite images.
