FBB is a freeware bulletin board software for amateur packet-radio run on DOS Windows and Linux

WLOG2000 demonstrates a comprehensive logging software solution tailored for amateur radio operators, shortwave listeners (SWLs), broadcast listeners (BCLs), and CB enthusiasts. It integrates essential utilities such as DX Cluster and DXtelnet for real-time DX spotting, along with PSK and PSK-Pbbs capabilities supporting both TNC and PC sound card interfaces. The software also features radio and rotor control, CDbook interface functionality, and a wide array of other logging and operational tools, making it a versatile station management platform for various radio activities. Franco, HB9OAB, developed WLOG2000 to provide a robust, free logging solution, with continuous updates available from the homepage. The software supports popular digital modes like RTTY, SSTV, KGSTV, EASYPAL, FT8, and FT4, alongside traditional CW operation. It offers rig control for major manufacturers including Kenwood, Yaesu, and Icom, facilitating seamless integration with existing shack setups. Users can track awards like DXCC, WAS, WAZ, and WAC, and manage QSLs, enhancing the practical application for contesters and DXers.

Linpac is an extensible Linux packet terminal that supports easy access to concurrent connections (streams), PBBS/FBB forwarding, and support for adding external commands

A site dedicated for the AM Radio Amateur and vintage radio. Home of the AM Press/Exchange, The AM Forum (the largest BBS of it's kind),and The AM Classifieds, Photos, Audio, and technical information. Audio and Video chat rooms.

MFSK is an easy-to-use chat mode for real-time amateur contacts, nets and bulletin transmissions, but not intended for contesting or Bulletin Board System (BBS) use. It is a half-duplex non-Automatic Repeat ReQuest (ARQ) forward-error-correcting (FEC) mode. It performs well on long-path fading conditions and in the presence of interference

Soundmodem is a free software defined dual-port Packet-Radio TNC that implement a soundcard as a modem and supports AX.25 protocol. Soundmodem has been tested on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and has proved stable in operation. The Soundmodem may be used to build EMCOMM, APRS, BBS, Node station, for satellites

This page describes how to set up RaspBerry Pi Linux system with already configured AX.25 softwares on SD or micro SD cards

A shortwave radio listeners log book runs on Windows and MacOS Catalina and above. The KB6IBB SWL Logger is a program designed for the shortwave radio listener. It offers shortwave specific logging of stations, with most tasks handled automatically. The program also incorporates the use of EiBi shortwave database for logging and looking up various known shortwave stations world wide.

The _Fuji-OSCAR 20_ (FO-20) amateur radio satellite, launched over six years prior, continues to operate reliably, despite a gradual decrease in its Nickel-Cadmium storage battery capacity and solar cell degradation. The satellite's power system can still supply approximately **10 W**, enabling operations. During the non-eclipse period, typically from mid-June through March, the satellite experiences a 0% eclipse rate, ensuring sufficient power generation. This allows for the potential operation of the onboard BBS, which had been previously suspended due to concerns about power shortages. An "eclipse rate" refers to the proportion of time a satellite spends in the Earth's shadow during each orbit. When the satellite's orbital plane is perpendicular to the sun's direction, the eclipse ratio becomes zero, meaning continuous solar illumination. Understanding these eclipse periods is crucial for managing satellite power budgets and scheduling operations, particularly for power-intensive functions like the BBS, which can now be considered for activation during periods of sustained solar exposure.

Blog post announcing that Ham Radio, shortwave listeners and broadcast band listeners will be protected by Law in Europe

The guide details setting up a comprehensive HF packet BBS using linBPQ on a Raspberry Pi. Exploring linBPQ's versatility and community support, the author emphasizes its legality considerations and cross-platform accessibility. Configuration files for linBPQ, including bpq32.cfg, chatconfig.cfg, and linmail.cfg, are explained along with the systemd service setup. The linBPQ Web Management Interface and future setup for QtTermTCP are also discussed for a complete packet BBS experience.

A quick guide to install direwolf, bpq and jnos on a Raspberry Pi. By following the instructions in the examples listed on this page, you should get it to work.

This article provides an overview of setup Direwolf and QtTermTCP for HF packet radio operations. It covers important tasks such as setting up a Direwolf TNC, connecting with stations, and engaging in packet-based chat (K2K). It also looks at how to use nodes as relays and access basic BBS services. The paper also includes HF packet network etiquette recommendations and a description of how to handle common packet transmission issues, making it a useful resource for amateur radio enthusiasts.

This project features a compact, 5-LED general-purpose S-Meter, designed for use with various radio circuits. It utilizes the LB1403 IC, with alternatives like LB1413, LB1423, and others. The circuit's design allows flexibility, with one version featuring a trimpot for calibration and another without it for more compact setups. The LB1423 is preferred for its low current draw and dB-calibrated scale. This S-Meter offers an efficient, customizable solution for measuring signal strength in amateur radio applications.
