HamScope v1.56, released on 2007-03-20, functions as a multi-mode communications interface for amateur radio, supporting digital modes such as PSK31 (BPSK and QPSK), RTTY, ASCII, MFSK16, PACKET, and CW. The software integrates with external engines like _MMTTY_ for RTTY/ASCII and AGWPE for PACKET operation. It features a panoramic waterfall display, 42 user-programmable macro buttons, and user-definable function key mappings, providing operators with enhanced control during digital mode operations. The program includes a radio control interface compatible with several ICOM, TenTec, Kenwood, and Yaesu transceivers, enabling direct rig control. HamScope also establishes data links with various logging and radio control applications, including LOGic 7/8, DXbase 2004, RYLogit, and TRX-Manager, facilitating seamless data exchange and logging. A DDE server is available for custom connections. Designed for Windows 98 and NT, HamScope requires a 133 MHz Pentium-class machine and 16-bit SVGA color. While not officially supported, users have reported functionality on Windows 95, ME, XP, and 2000, though some issues with window settings or the MMTTY engine may occur. The software is distributed as a single executable file, with separate downloads required for MMTTY and AGWPE engines.

MMTTY V1.70K, released June 4, 2017, provides a full 3.5MB installation for RTTY operations on Windows platforms including XP, Vista, and Win7.

An MMTTY Engine V1.70K is also available, specifically designed for integration into other commercial amateur radio programs requiring RTTY functionality. Older versions such as MMTTY V1.68A (September 29, 2010) and MMTTY V1.66G are accessible, alongside a non-installer version (MMTTY168A-i.zip) for experienced users. The resource includes an updated ARRL.DX file for callsign lookup and offers a comprehensive 18MB PDF help file for offline viewing or download. Support for the software is directed to a group.io community. MMTTY integrates with **COMFSK** and **EXTFSK/EXTFSK64** for precise FSK keying, enabling direct radio control. The site also hosts MMJARTS V1.03, a 254KB utility released September 6, 2002, which generates log and summary sheets specifically for the JARTS RTTY contest, linking to the official JARTS website for contest information.

On March 27, 2017, the FCC adopted final rules for the USA 630-meter band, detailed in Report and Order FCC 17-33, which required PLC coordination with the Utilities Telecom Council before amateur operations could commence. This resource documents the WD2XSH experimental group's activities, including authorized stations, band plans, and frequency assignments within the 465-515 KHz range, with many stations operating between 495-499 KHz and 501-510 KHz. The site also highlights the WRC-12 decision on February 14, 2012, which granted a new **7-kilohertz-wide** secondary allocation between _472-479 kHz_ for the Amateur Radio Service worldwide. The group's efforts included operating with a maximum ERP of **20 Watts** across 45 stations in the continental USA, Alaska, and Hawaii, using emission modes such as CW, PSK-31, FSK-31, and MSK-31. The site provides links to download FCC 17-33 in PDF and DOCx formats, and offers a station location map, a list of stations by callsign and frequency, and an archive of news updates. Reception reports for any 600-meter station are encouraged to help the amateur radio community understand propagation and repeatability on this challenging band.

Fifty-three digital modes, including PSK31, RTTY, and JT65, are explored in this resource, providing detailed descriptions of their underlying technologies and typical use cases. It covers error correction methods like ARQ in PACTOR and FEC in JT65, alongside modulation schemes such as FSK and PSK. The content highlights the evolution of digital communication from traditional TNC-based systems to modern sound card implementations, emphasizing the role of personal computers in advancing these modes. Specific modes like AMTOR, PACTOR, and G-TOR are discussed, noting their baud rates and error correction capabilities. For instance, AMTOR operates at 100 baud, while PACTOR offers 200 baud with Huffman compression. The article also delves into newer modes like MFSK16, which uses 16 tones and continuous Forward Error Correction, and Olivia, capable of decoding signals 10-14 dB below the noise floor. Each mode's bandwidth, speed, and resilience to propagation challenges are examined, such as MT63's 1 KHz bandwidth and 100 WPM rate, or Hellschreiber's 75 Hz bandwidth and 35 WPM text rate. The resource also lists predominant USA HF digital frequencies for bands like 160, 80, and 40 meters, specifying segments for PSK31, RTTY, SSTV, and Packet. It includes links to freeware and shareware sound card software such as Digipan, FLDigi, and MixW, enabling amateurs to experiment with these modes.

The 2200-meter band (135.7-137.8 kHz) presents unique challenges for amateur radio operators due to its narrow 2.1 kHz bandwidth, low signal levels, and high noise. W1TAG explores various transmission modes suited for this demanding environment, highlighting that traditional voice modes like SSB and AM are impractical. Plain old CW serves as the baseline, demonstrating effectiveness across different modes, though signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) significantly limits practical speeds. The article notes that reducing CW speed below 5 WPM can improve copy, especially with computer-aided spectrum analysis software capable of decoding signals too weak for human ear reception. QRSS, or "CW sent slowly enough that speeds are best expressed in seconds per dot," is a key mode for LF work, with examples ranging from 3 seconds/dot to extreme 240 seconds/dot transmissions. _Argo_ by I2PHD is mentioned as a simple program for QRSS, enabling reception of signals like BRO, a Part 15 beacon, at a distance of **1100 miles**. Other modes discussed include Dual Frequency CW (DFCW), which uses frequency shifts to distinguish dots and dashes, and Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), a phase modulation technique employing 0 to 180-degree phase flips. WOLF (Weak-signal Operation on Low Frequency), a specialized BPSK form by KK7KA, encodes 15-character messages into 960-bit packages, taking 96 seconds to transmit, and has demonstrated successful reception over **672 seconds** for a message from a 1-watt beacon. Further modes include PSK, FSK variations like JASON and MSK, and graphical modes such as Hellschreiber and Chirped Hell. The article concludes with a practical chart comparing the time required to send a simple message like "WD2XES FN42CH " across these diverse LF modes, offering valuable insights for operators planning contacts on the low bands.

Next Generation Beacon hardware platform encompasses both analog and digital modes, i.e. CW FSK and MGM in a mixed mode configuration. The advantage of the mixed mode is that humans can decode the CW FSK by ear and the MGM can be decoded by computers way below what is audible. Therefore the MGM can be used for pre-human-conditions or early warning monitoring.
