AOR AR-DV10 the worlds most advanced wide-band 100kHz-1300MHz, multi-mode, SDR receiver. It supports a variety of digital and analog modes in the Amateur radios bands, Aircraft band, Marine band and Commercial bands.

This week, we’ve pulled together a few items that touch on practical aspects of operating, from decoding signals to optimizing antenna setups. There’s a look at a Windows program for Morse code analysis, something that comes up often for those refining their CW skills or just needing a quick decode. We also found a web-based tool for visualizing worked grid squares, which can be quite useful for tracking progress, especially for VHF/UHF operators or those chasing awards. For HF enthusiasts, particularly those considering vertical antennas, there’s a detailed comparison between two popular models, offering real-world insights into assembly and performance. Portable ops get a nod with a field report on a POTA activation, detailing antenna deployment strategies. EME operators will find a resource on 432 MHz procedures, and finally, a remote control solution for the Icom IC-9700, focusing on satellite work, rounds out the selection.
