in some cases, on the power of the "fuck that other other guy" school of geopolitics, this can be avoided. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Iran%E2%80%93Pakistan_border_skirmishes "you see, we actually targeted separatists" "yeah we also targeted separatists let's call it even" it also requires certain degree of diplomatic finesse that trump lacks, and there's no good reason for strikes in the first place considering that dea coordinated with mexican police (?) previously, so they could just continue doing that

okay i see now

but what if you put another split ring inside it, it'll be different

this is just small-ish magloop

i've seen some people make magloops out of bike rims, it's similar sized. the smaller it is the lower radiation resistance, higher currents and voltage on capacitor, narrower bandwidth, and lower efficiency. i don't remember how it scales but efficiency goes up fast with size, 1m dia magloop is already better. downside is that tuning becomes impossible on higher bands (capacitance required for this is below minimum capacitance of capacitor that you have)

will it antenna? i think it will

split ring resonator has already two different lengths of paths so - even without accounting on how these two interact - you could expect two different frequencies where it's resonant, with peaks perhaps overlapping to a useful degree making a decently wide band possible. it looks a bit like halo antenna with parasitic, downside being that it's probably a bit hard to feed it, circumference has to be halfwave on lowest frequency and if made for HF it'd be gigantic

i think it's more useful to think of magloop as extremely shortened, low impedance, low bandwith halo antenna

i'll have you know that social contract that formed in russia after 90s looks just like that: citizens fuck off from politics in return for some prosperity. every time when russian state expected that that won't last due to things like 2008 crisis or covid or what have you, they started a war as a distraction and to rally around the flag some nationalists. now they're on 4th attempt, this one was due to post-covid recession. difference is, this time they were high on their own supply of propaganda and planned accordingly. they also can't back down because they see it as a weakness, and that would mean a coup

I know that Abe was PM since always, but he's dead for almost three years now

Another good example would be actions Brits took in order to protect the fact that Enigma was broken. For example, when Enigma deciphering indicated that there's warship in a specific area, they would send spotter plane first before attacking it, in order to provide enemy alternative explanation as of how they were discovered. Some operations were aborted entirely for this reason

remember, the entire time until bombs dropped Goldblum wasn't sure that if it was an elaborate bit

at least it's not telegram

"i just hate bailing out europe again"

Dense motherfucker doesn't know where his bread is buttered. Status of dollar as global reserve currency hinges on free maritime trade, on top of sheer amount of oil that passes through that place and american sensitivity to energy prices

Not to mention that they're cause of greater share of instability in the region

also "party of personal responsibility" when they choose to not investigate any of this

I hear that this happens sometimes, but nowhere near normal times, more like during evacuations from warzone and so on

sorry for being unclear, i forgor a word. what i meant that certain antenna designs would have specific fractional bandwidth, so that just scaling that design to higher frequency makes usable bandwidth wider in kHz terms. in order to get higher fractional bandwidth more complex or bulkier designs would be required, like thicker conductors, added parasitics, something LPDA-shaped, or maybe elaborate matching circuit, all of which cost money. i guess that while resonant amplifiers are a thing, probably bigger limitation would be bandwidth of mixer

i'd also note that antennas, amplifiers and so on have bandwidth that is some % of carrier frequency, depending on design, so just going up in frequency makes bandwidth bigger. getting higher % of bandwidth requires more sophisticated, more expensive, heavier designs. LoRa is much slower, caused by narrowed bandwidth but also because it's more noise-resistant

but there's separate category for "broadcast", so it's more of point-to-point thing?

what's fixed service in this context?
