Presents a detailed compilation of **6-meter** voice repeaters operating within the 53-54 MHz segment across Australia (VK) and New Zealand (ZL), providing essential data for local and visiting radio amateurs. Each entry specifies the repeater's output and input frequencies, its assigned callsign (where applicable), the primary service area, current operational status (e.g., operational, under construction, scrapped), and a **Maidenhead grid locator**. The resource also includes the date the repeater was last heard or updated, offering insights into its recent activity. This listing is meticulously maintained by VK2KFJ, who updates entries based on personal observations and confirmed reports from other operators. It serves as a practical reference for hams seeking to utilize the 6-meter band for local communication via repeaters, particularly for those engaged in mobile or portable operations within the specified regions. The data helps operators configure their transceivers correctly for accessing these vital communication hubs. Beyond the repeater details, the page also notes common 6-meter FM voice simplex frequencies, such as the 52.525 MHz international call frequency, and lists historical packet simplex frequencies, though their current operational status is uncertain. This comprehensive approach ensures that operators have a broad overview of 6-meter activity in VK and ZL.

HB9BZA's LoTW users list, originally compiled since 2005 from DX-Cluster and user submissions, now primarily leverages the official ARRL full users list released on July 29th, 2017. This resource details 228,012 calls across 340 current DXCC entities, with the latest update noted on March 2, 2026. It offers various formats, including a full list, text versions, and breakdowns by country, providing valuable insights into LoTW participation for DXers. While the ARRL's official list with "last upload" dates diminished the original list's unique utility, HB9BZA's site continues to offer statistics and user counts by country, which remain of interest. The author, HB9BZA, expresses gratitude to contributors who helped maintain the list's accuracy over many years, achieving an impressive 96.4% match with the ARRL's data before the official release. Knowing which stations are LoTW active encourages more hams to join the system, demonstrating that even rare DXCC entities like Ducie Island or Heard Island can be confirmed quickly. For instance, HB9BZA recounts a 36-minute QSL confirmation for a 3A2MW contact. The list also integrates with the RXCLUS packet radio/telnet client, enhancing DXCC award tracking by identifying LoTW participants and utilizing upload dates for alarms.

DXSPOTS is a Telnet connection program. It allows radio amateurs with a lot of DX traffic to know instantly the status of the bands and to know which DX are currently on the air. Following the Packet-Clusters where data was transmitted on VHF/UHF via dedicated relays and sometimes on HF at a very low speed (300Bds on HF), the Internet has taken over and is now transmitting DX information via the computers in most shacks.

NPR (New Packet Radio) is a custom amateur radio digital protocol, designed by F4HDK to transport bidirectional IP trafic over radio links on the 70cm band. This IP protocol is optimized for point-to-multipoint topology, with the help of managed-TDMA. Bitrate is up to 500kbps. Home Made modem has a built-in ethernet port to connect to PC. To boost power a DMR amplifier is required to reach 20W. This project is an extension of HSMM - Hamnet - AREDN networks

A data converter for the Tandy WM918 weather station. The Weather APRS data converter project aims to create an interface to interpret data from the popular Tandy WM918 weather station and format it for transmission over packet radio. The South East Radio Group in South Australia has established a network of these weather stations to provide amateurs with regularly updated weather data. However, the WM918's data output is not structured for APRS weather reporting. This project describes a solution using a PIC microcontroller to convert the WM918 data into APRS-compatible strings that can be sent as beacons or connected packets. The interface offers features like position/positionless data, connected/beacon modes, and metric/imperial units. The goal is to create an interconnected weather reporting system for amateur radio operators

This blog post documents the author's journey building an APRS micromodem for amateur radio applications. Using an open-source design by LY2EN, the author assembled a cost-effective Terminal Node Controller (TNC) with SMD components, an Arduino Nano, and a JDY-31 Bluetooth module. The construction process included PCB fabrication, careful component soldering, microcontroller programming, and Bluetooth configuration. A custom 3D-printed case protected the completed device. Field testing in Romania showed the device functioned with a Baofeng UV-5R radio, though antenna limitations affected performance. The entire project demonstrates an affordable DIY alternative to commercial APRS trackers.
