SSTV software is now available for the Macintosh computers, for the first time.

The **Black Cat CW Keyer** is a macOS application designed for amateur radio operators to transmit Morse code directly from their computer. It provides functionality for typing text to be sent, either immediately or buffered, and allows for the creation and transmission of pre-defined messages via single-key shortcuts. This software addresses the need for a flexible and accessible CW keying solution, particularly for Mac users who might find fewer dedicated ham radio applications compared to other operating systems. It integrates basic text-to-CW conversion, offering a straightforward interface for generating Morse code signals. Operators can utilize the Black Cat CW Keyer for various CW activities, including casual QSOs, contesting, or beacon operation. Its ability to buffer text allows for smoother transmission, while the single-key macro feature streamlines repetitive message sending, such as CQ calls or contest exchanges. While specific comparisons to other CW keying software are not detailed, its macOS focus provides a niche solution for Apple users. The program's utility lies in its direct approach to computer-based CW transmission, making it a practical tool for those seeking a dedicated **CW keyer** on the Macintosh platform.

Controlling amateur radio transceivers remotely often requires dedicated software to interface with the radio's CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) system. CATSPAW is a software utility specifically developed by N2OHZ for the Yaesu FT-100, facilitating computer-based control over various radio functions. The software provides an interface for adjusting parameters such as frequency, mode, and other operational settings, which can be particularly useful for remote station operation or automated tasks. While the specific features and user interface details are not extensively documented on the download page, the primary function centers on providing a digital control layer for the _FT-100_. This allows operators to integrate the transceiver into a larger station setup that might include logging programs or digital mode applications, enhancing the overall operational flexibility. The utility's design focuses on direct control, leveraging the radio's internal command set. As a downloadable executable, _CATSPAW_ represents a common approach to radio control software from its era, offering a direct link between a personal computer and a specific transceiver model.

Shortwave listeners and amateur radio operators interested in _numbers stations_ can engage with this mailing list, which serves as a platform for discussing the enigmatic transmissions. The resource facilitates the exchange of information regarding these unusual broadcasts, often associated with intelligence agencies, by allowing members to share observations, decode attempts, and theories. It provides a community space for those who monitor the HF spectrum for these unique, often automated, voice or digital signals. Participation on the list enables members to contribute to a collective understanding of numbers station activity, including changes in frequencies, broadcast schedules, and message formats. While specific technical analysis or signal processing techniques are discussed by members, the primary function is information sharing. The list is administered by csmolinski at blackcatsystems.com, and prior postings are archived for reference, allowing new members to review historical discussions and data.

CATSync V1.30 integrates OpenWebRX support, expanding its capability to synchronize a local amateur radio transceiver's CAT control with a broader range of public WebSDR receivers. The software facilitates real-time frequency tracking, allowing the operator to adjust their physical rig's VFO and observe the connected WebSDR instantly follow the tuned frequency. This functionality is crucial for remote listening, signal comparison, and verifying propagation conditions across different geographic locations using a familiar hardware interface. The application supports both the classical WebSDR interface and KiwiSDR platforms, providing a consistent control experience across various online SDR deployments. It bridges the gap between local station operation and the vast network of globally distributed software-defined radios, offering a practical tool for DXers and contesters. CATSync is designed for Windows and Linux environments, with Android compatibility noted, making it accessible to a wide user base seeking to leverage WebSDR resources with their existing station setup.
