Every April 18, the bands come alive for the same reason they have for a century: to mark the day, in 1925, when amateur radio pioneers met in Paris and founded the International Amateur Radio Union.

WSJT-X 3.0 has moved from Release Candidate to stable, and it marks the most significant update to the weak-signal suite since the introduction of FT8 itself. Parallel decoding, Full Duplex operation, and a redesigned filter system are now in the hands of every operator. Here's what actually matters for your station.

Three astronauts aboard Artemis II are licensed hams. Here's how to listen, from ISS passes on 145.800 MHz to live NASA mission audio via EchoLink and SPACE RoIP.

This week, we’re looking at a few practical builds and modifications that might spark some winter workbench activity. There's a detailed guide for a multi-band portable vertical, the PAC-12 Antenna, which uses easily replaceable loading coils—something that comes up often when you’re trying to cover a lot of ground with minimal gear. For those running an Elecraft KX2, a modification for adding audio I/Q output is presented, useful for external SDR software or a spectrum scope, which can really enhance signal analysis in the field or at the home station. We also have a look at a 40-meter reversible Moxon design, a practical approach to directional antennas without needing a rotator, and a simple 80-meter CW transmitter build for those who enjoy getting on the air with minimal parts. Finally, there's a discussion on optimizing keyboard setups for CW contesting, a small detail that can make a big difference in a pileup.
