adsbScope is a freeware Windows application designed for processing _ADS-B_ (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) frames received from a compatible decoder. It identifies aircraft, calculates their real-time positions, and presents flight parameters in both alphanumeric tables and a graphical display. The software interfaces via a virtual COM port, receiving raw frames to provide detailed situational awareness, including a global coordinate grid, continental coastlines, over 4,000 **airport** locations, and major cities. Users can overlay OpenStreetMap tiles and view world state boundaries, with each tracked aircraft rendered with labels showing altitude, speed, heading, squawk code, and flight identifiers. When paired with the adsbPIC-decoder, adsbScope enables advanced hardware control, allowing users to toggle data filters for specific frames like DF17/18/19, adjust analog signal thresholds for reception fine-tuning, and manage system resets or bootloader activation directly from the PC. This functionality provides a customizable toolkit for hobbyist radar listeners, offering a robust alternative to commercial tools for processing aircraft data. The software displays up to **1090 MHz** transponder data and can track aircraft up to 250 nautical miles.

Managing extensive amateur radio contact logs efficiently requires specialized software that integrates various operational aspects. Aether provides a macOS-native logging solution, designed from the ground up using Apple's Cocoa, to streamline QSO entry, organization, and retrieval for Mac users. It supports modern macOS technologies and offers an intuitive interface, aligning with the user experience expected on Apple platforms. The application includes features such as automatic dupe checking, which quickly identifies previous contacts with a station, and awards tracking, indicating if a new contact is needed for specific operating awards. Aether also integrates rig control via RS-232, automatically populating frequency, mode, and power data from supported Elecraft, Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, and some TEN-TEC transceivers. This automation reduces manual entry errors and speeds up the logging process. Furthermore, Aether offers comprehensive QSL management, including synchronization with eQSL.cc and Logbook of The World, and the ability to print QSO detail and address labels for paper QSLs. It also incorporates automatic callbook lookup from sources like QRZ.com and HamQTH.com, and calculates distance and beam heading, with Google Maps integration for visualizing contact locations. Full ADIF and Cabrillo import/export capabilities ensure compatibility with other logging software and contest submission platforms.

This article published on QEX details measurements of tree conductivity and permittivity at HF frequencies, addressing a long-debated topic in amateur radio. N6LF conducted experimental impedance measurements on Douglas fir and maple trees using a vector network analyzer with rings of nails inserted into tree trunks. Results showed that tree conductivity increases with frequency while relative permittivity decreases, similar to soil characteristics. Measured conductivity ranged from 0.06 to 0.4 S/m at 10 MHz, aligning with values used in previous research. These findings validate that NEC modeling can reliably estimate trees' substantial impact on HF antenna performance.
