That is quite a lot of interesting experiments, thanks for introducing. :)

I'm inclined to add one more:

51: monitor the radio spectrum for drones (and if their signature looks hostile, warn people about them) - there's a DIY recipe for a monitoring station out there somewhere, and some Ukrainian guys scan their sky using HackRF

SDR is definitely a technology worth learning. I'm already a happy user of RTL-SDR, but if I want to really see what my WiFi is doing, I should get a HackRF eventually too. (Note: WiFi is too fast to intercept without loss, except with another WiFi card, unless a slower bitrate is deliberately chosen.)
