The **Luis Trenker Award** is an amateur radio operating award established by the Amateur Radio Club Ladinia to honor the director and author Luis Trenker from Val Gardena, South Tyrol, Italy. To qualify for the award, HF stations must achieve five confirmed QSOs with each of five specific Alpine countries: Italy (with specific prefixes like I1, IK1, I2, I3, IN3, IW3, IV3), France, Germany (with DOKs A, C, T, U), Switzerland or Liechtenstein, and Austria (with prefixes OE2, OE3, OE6, OE7, OE8, OE9). A single QSO with a member of the Amateur Radio Club Ladinia can substitute for the five required Italian QSOs, with members' QSL cards bearing a special rubber stamp. VHF/UHF stations have a simpler requirement, needing only one confirmed QSO with each of the five Alpine countries. SWL stations are eligible under the same conditions as transmitting stations. All contacts must be valid after April 12, 1990. Applicants must submit a list of contacts, certified by two OMs or a club, to the Amateur Radio Club Ladinia in Ortisei, South Tyrol, Italy. The award manager is IN3PGS Karlheinz, and the club official is IW3AQL Luca.

Demonstrates the practical application of APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) through the lens of HB9PVI's activities in Switzerland. It covers the system's core function of reporting geographical positions and telemetry data from various objects, including mobile stations, aircraft, and the ISS, distributed via packet radio and internet gateways. The resource highlights the routing paradigm shift introduced in April 2005, specifically the recommendation to use _WIDE1-1_ instead of RELAY and WIDE for digipeating to reduce duplicate packets. The page presents real-time maps displaying the positions of amateur radio stations in Switzerland and around Bern, updated every few minutes. It details specific callsigns like _HB9BA-2_ (HB9PVI's home QTH), _HB9BA-8_ (a weather station), and _HB9BA-4_ (a WIDE digipeater on Weissenstein mountain), providing context for their roles within the local APRS network. Links to track HB9PVI's mobile operations (_HB9PVI-9_) and handheld devices (_HB9PVI-15_, _HB9PVI-7_) are also provided. Furthermore, the resource curates a list of APRS software options for various operating systems, including _JavAPRS_ for Europe, _UI-view_, and _X-Astir_ for Linux, alongside digipeater/IGATE software like _DiXPRS_. It also offers downloadable APRS information, including a PDF article by HB9PVI and HE9ZGN, and a PowerPoint presentation in German, making it a repository of practical and historical APRS data.

This article documents the author's latest go-box build for outdoor ham radio operations using a Yaesu FT-891 transceiver. The go-box is constructed from a plastic "50-cal ammo case" and contains various components, including the transceiver, LDG Z11 Pro autotuner, DIY Yaesu FH-2 remote control keypad, and an external battery. The author details the design considerations, the mounting of components inside the box, and addresses issues related to ventilation and cable management. The go-box is geared for CW operations and POTA activations, with further modifications planned for a microphone and DATA jack. This project allows for rugged, environmentally protected outdoor radio operations while maintaining portability.

Analyzing 433 MHz radio signals from common wireless devices, such as temperature sensors and remote controls, involves understanding **On-Off Keying (OOK)** modulation. This resource details the process of capturing these signals using a Software Defined Radio (SDR) like Gqrx and then visually inspecting the captured audio data in a sound editor such as Audacity. It differentiates between **Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)** and Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) encoding schemes, illustrating how to identify and decode binary data by eye based on pulse and gap durations. The article provides a step-by-step walkthrough for decoding a wireless thermometer's data, correlating bit patterns with known temperature, humidity, and channel values. It also demonstrates decoding an RF remote control's button presses, highlighting the constant and varying parts of the transmitted packets. The content further introduces automated decoding using tools like RTL_433, explaining its capabilities in parsing various device protocols and showing how to interpret its output, including modulation type and decoded data. Specific examples include analyzing Prologue sensor protocol specifications from RTL_433's source code and noting common operating frequencies like 433.92 MHz in Europe and 915 MHz in the US.
