Control EVERY DEVICE in Your Ham Radio Shack!

Post author By admin
Post date November 20, 2024

Ham radio operators can use Node-RED, an easy to learn flow-based programming language to build simple web-based dashboards which provide command, control, and automation in their ham shack. In this presentation we will learn how to get started with Node-RED, what you can control, and some example dashboards. No programming experience necessary as there are ham radio flows already programmed for major manufacturers to get you started.

If It Works, It Ain’t Stupid – Ham Radio Improv

Post author By admin
Post date November 17, 2024

Where is the line between innovation, improvisation and just plain stupid? Does it even exist when operating portable. Growing up on a farm, improvisation was a way of life. Broken things needed to be fixed, and usually with what was on hand. Portable operations are much the same when things don’t go exactly to plan. This is a light hearted look at “making do” when operating field days, SOTA and EME.

The FUTURE of Ham Radio DXing & Contesting

Post author By admin
Post date November 15, 2024

Technological progress has impacted radio contesting, most strongly on operating systems, logging and entries to the competition but also on the technical facilities used to maximize score.

Martin VK7GN talks about radios used in those early field days to the modern SDR and top range transceivers like the Icom 7851. From the paper logging to computer logging. From entries by post to real-time internet entry.
