A 20 and 40 meter vertical on Autopilot by K6MHE PDF File

Palm OS morse code software, simple morse code sender, sends code on the built-in speaker at 1-80 WPM. Higher speeds are sloppy because of the 10 msec resolution of the internal timer.

Pilot of The Airwaves

PilotMORSE is a great home solution for private pilots or aspiring professionals who want to hone their Morse code skills used to identify VORTACs, localizers, and marker beacons. PilotMORSE takes you through the alphabet with an advanced neural network algorithm that adjusts the pace of presentation based on your responses.

Hamradio_copilot is an open-source tool designed for DXers and contesters who need real-time situational awareness. It is ideal for operators who want to visualize propagation trends instantly rather than scrolling through raw text streams of cluster spots. Rally acting as a copilot for your station, this tool transforms raw data into actionable intelligence. By visualizing Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNR) across different bands, it helps operators make quick decisions on which band to prioritize or where to point their antennas, effectively showing not just who is on air, but where the propagation is currently open from your location. This is a fantastic information for avid contesters. The software aggregates data from two primary services: - Reverse Beacon Network (RBN) via Telnet. - PSK Reporter via MQTT feeds. It processes this data to generate a comprehensive HTML report featuring SNR heatmaps and statistical breakdowns by ITU Zone. Users can filter data by specific zones or country codes (ADIF), analyze historic time ranges, and optionally integrate solar weather data. The complete source code is available on GitHub, allowing for community customization. It is written in Python and uses SQLite for data management.

Constructing an effective antenna support system often involves safely elevating wire antennas into trees or over obstacles. This resource details the build process for the WT8WV "Colossus" air cannon antenna launcher, a pneumatic device designed to project a pilot line over elevated structures. It specifies the use of readily available PVC pipe components and standard hardware, outlining the exact materials required and providing step-by-step assembly instructions for a robust, low-cost solution. The article presents a practical alternative to traditional methods like slingshots, emphasizing the launcher's utility for Field Day operations and general antenna deployment. It includes a comprehensive list of parts, such as 2-inch and 1-inch PVC pipe, various fittings, a sprinkler valve, and a bicycle pump valve, detailing their integration into the final assembly. The total cost for materials is estimated at around $40 per unit, making it an accessible project for many radio amateurs. Crucially, the guide incorporates essential safety precautions for operating a pneumatic launcher, covering aspects like pressure management and projectile selection. It also features multiple photographs illustrating the construction phases and the completed device, offering visual clarity to aid builders in replicating the design.

This document outlines various miniature projects undertaken by Mike Markowski to enhance his skills in GNU Radio. Key projects include an FM stereo receiver and an AM radio receiver, featuring advanced functionalities like pilot tone recovery and RDS integration. Additional experiments involve generating Gaussian noise, chirp signals, and Morse code decoding, emphasizing hands-on learning and customization in GNU Radio. The author encourages feedback and shares flow graphs and Python code for each project, aiming to foster community engagement and knowledge sharing.

This document serves as a reference guide for pilots interpreting the symbols used on Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Enroute Low and High Altitude Charts for both the United States and Alaska. It focuses on six key categories of information critical for safe IFR navigation and it includes a section dedicated to Oceanic Route Charts for the North Atlantic and North Pacific regions.

KISS703 is a 703 Hz narrowband digital mode for amateur radio, designed for simple, low-power operation without computers. A 500 Hz pilot tone ensures frequency alignment, replaced by unique tones for 37 symbols (letters, numbers, space). Built from common discrete components, it draws about 40 mA at 12 V, ideal for SOTA/IOTA use. The receiver uses amplification, wave shaping, and a pulse-counting frequency meter for manual decoding via a calibrated meter. Transmitter and receiver calibration involves marking meter positions for each tone, enabling fully self-contained messaging with minimal hardware in portable or fixed operations.
