[22:34:01] <boru> I travelled around Siberia a bit.
[22:34:06] <Bytram> were you there in the winter?
[22:34:42] <boru> I've been to Kamchatka in Winter, but not Sakha.

[22:35:06] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org - "The Kamchatka Peninsula is a 1,250-kilometre-long (780 mi) peninsula in the Russian Far East, with an area of about 270,000 km2 (100,000 sq mi). The Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk make up the peninsula's eastern and western coastlines, respectively. Immediately offshore along the Pacific coast of the peninsula ..."

[22:35:37] <boru> Via Kransoyarsk, when I went out to Petropavlovsk.
[22:35:48] <Bytram> speceba!
[22:35:56] <boru> I went climbing volcanos up along the peninsula.
[22:36:01] <Bytram> that's as best as I can spell it, phonetically
[22:36:04] <Bytram> neat
[22:36:54] <boru> Spasibo!

[22:37:16] <boru> My Russian isn't very good.
[22:37:28] <Bytram> is better than mine, I'm sure
[22:37:46] <boru> If ever you do visit, I would recommend the East over the West, by far.
[22:38:17] <Bytram> previet, spasibo, puhjalsta, dos vedanya, ya la blue tee beck!
[22:38:29] * boru chuckles.
[22:38:41] <Bytram> makes for a *great* ice breaker!
[22:38:53] <boru> I can attest to this.

[22:43:09] <Bytram> is it worth 720p vs 360p ?? (110 MB vs 34 MB)
[22:43:29] <boru> Low bitrate will suffice, certainly.
[22:43:39] <Bytram> goodie
[22:43:42] <Bytram> brb
[22:47:41] <boru> I have lots of similar videos of high current and RF accidents, but I'll wait until you've got the bandwidth for them.
[22:47:54] <boru> In Russia and the Ukraine, that is.
[22:54:04] * Bytram guesses: not understanding a *word* of what they said, but taking a guess at what I saw, I suspect a magnetron (or three?) with a large cone to aim at a target? Induces a current in the targeted electronics and shorts them out? ...and it's portable? Wow!
[22:54:24] <Bytram> and yes, low bit rate was sufficient... thanks for letting me know.
[22:54:59] <boru> Aye, spot on. The subs help, but that's the long and short of it.
[22:55:28] <boru> The tranny and the magnetron are always worth salvaging from old microwaves.
[22:55:43] <boru> Lots of electrical fun to be had.
[22:55:57] <Bytram> tranny? oh, transformer(?)
[22:56:04] <boru> Aye.
[22:56:33] <Bytram> I see they took some pretty severe precautions against rf energy -- tin foil clothing (including hat!)
[22:57:04] <boru> Heh, oh, I'll have to show you the Ukranian one now, if I can find it.
[22:57:16] <boru> They thought rubber gloves would protect them from RF burns.
[22:57:43] <Bytram> electrical insulation != RF protection (amirite?)

[23:00:31] <Bytram> clicky
[23:05:24] <Bytram> never understood quite how a radio transmitter worked... 50kW... between... what? Yuo just run a hot signal into one end of a LONG pole and the free end 9and full length) just radiates the signal? Must be kinda interesting to insulate for things like rain / snow.
[23:08:48] <boru> RF is black magic. I leave that to RF engineers.
