48: See how high you can go in the frequency spectrum
My SDR stick has a maximum sampling rate of 3.2 megasamples/s, so by Nyquist's theorem, that means that the highest frequency it can theoretically measure is 1.6 GHz.
It seems pretty quiet up there, probably because I lack proper antennas. I found these three lines in an amateur band, but they probably originate from the stick itself, or another device.
So the highest-frequency thing I've received is ADS-B at 1090 MHz (see entry #5)! 🎉
