they explain that he was using the RTL-SDR as part of his investigation for monitoring air traffic to Libya in an attempt to link flights against violations of the arms embargo.
So the person in question supposedly wanted to prove that Tunisia is potentially violating UN embargo by possibly monitoring air traffic communications without permission.
He had a noble cause but what he was doing would have to be done in a hands-off, anonymous way with relay to an outside recipient. Perhaps remote solar-charged SoC units with satellite uplink, but that's getting into serious money.
Or do you mean "here in the US if I am a citizen"? :)
A fellow Tunisian here,
I tried several times to buy stuff online (listed with foreign currencies) using a regular credit card. But the transaction always fails.
Since we don't have paypal either, I'm interested, how do you purchase stuff online using a foreign currency?
From a purely statistical viewpoint, there are 11M Tunisians out of 7.5 billion people, which would put them at 1.5 out of any 1000 people are Tunisian :) Even if we take technological and language exposure (which is what I am guessing you are hinting at), I'd say at least 1 person in 5000 on here is Tunisian :) And I suspect there are more than 5000 people on HN.
If this was more of a small-talk "hey I've lived there and so nice to be reminded of it", pardon my intrusion with data :)
Yeah statistically speaking you are probably right. It's probably because the vast majority of people around here are from the US. I'm from Spain and I rarely find Spaniards either.
