Demonstrates _Freq51_ and _Specgrm2_, two analysis programs from the Biomedical Ultrasonics Laboratory at the University of Michigan, available for DOS or Linux. The _Spectrum Analyser (Freq51)_ provides power spectrum levels as a function of frequency, configurable for absolute values (e.g., dB re 1 volt) with sound card calibration. _Spectrogram (Specgrm2)_ generates a real-time, full-screen spectrogram (sonagram) with various color options. These programs analyze incoming signals in real time, not stored files, and offer extensive settings for sampling rate, FFT points, and averaging time, making them highly versatile for acoustic analysis. The DOS version of _Freq51_ and _Specgrm2_ can operate under Windows 95, requiring users to configure sound card switches via a text file. The resource also briefly mentions other acoustic analysis software like Gianni Pavan's DOS-based bioacoustic tools, _Gram_ by R.S. Horne for Windows, _SASLab_ (Light and Pro versions), _Cool Edit_, and _GoldWave_, providing a comparative overview of available tools for real-time and file-based spectral analysis and waveform manipulation.

The 2.1 kHz wide European LF allocation between 135.7 and 137.8 kHz is detailed in this observed band plan, offering guidance for activity within this narrow segment. It specifically addresses the challenge of locating weak signals, such as those from Slow-CW stations, which can have bandwidths of only a few Hertz. The resource emphasizes the utility of precise frequency knowledge when operating with narrow DSP filters, like a 30 Hz filter for CW, to differentiate multiple stations within a very small band segment. The plan, though not officially recognized, provides practical orientation for operators, particularly those new to the _LF band_. It references a similar plan published by the _RSGB_ in the January 2000 issue of _RADCOM_, suggesting a community-driven approach to band organization. The content highlights the importance of spectral awareness, noting that multiple stations can occupy minimal bandwidth, a concept illustrated by spectrographic analysis.

PSELab is a freeware Windows application useful to estimate power spectrum and short-time spectral distribution of signals. The application uses periodogram, least squares Prony, Burg, covariance, MUSIC and some other methods. To estimate short-time spectral distribution, the application uses short Time Fourier transform, pseudo-Wigner-Ville transform, least squares Prony, Burg, covariance, MUSIC and some other methods.

Details the construction of an **HF converter** designed by M1GEO, George Smart, specifically to extend the frequency range of the FunCube Dongle Pro (FCD) for amateur radio reception. The FCD natively covers 64 to 1,700 MHz, but this project enables reception from 0 Hz to 64 MHz by up-converting signals to the FCD's operational range. It employs a **double-balanced mixer** with a 100 MHz local oscillator (LO) to translate incoming HF signals; for instance, a 1 MHz signal appears at 101 MHz within the FCD's passband. The design incorporates a 7th-order Chebyshev low-pass filter with a 62 MHz cutoff frequency at the input to mitigate image frequencies, ensuring cleaner spectral presentation. George provides the schematic, PCB masks, and Gerber files for replication, noting that Far Circuits also offers PCBs. The resource includes test results for the low-pass filter and measurements of LO leakage, identifying -36.8 dBm at 100 MHz as a potential sensitivity concern. M1GEO discusses potential improvements, such as adjusting the mixer's LO drive, adding a balance pot, or incorporating a post-mixer high-pass filter to reduce LO breakthrough. Audio recordings from 40m and 17m demonstrate the converter's performance with WRplus SDR software.

Robust PACKET, developed by Spezielle Communications Systeme GmbH & Co. KG (SCS), is an OFDM variant of the amateur PACKET mode specifically engineered for HF operation. This mode utilizes a 500 Hz bandwidth with 60 Hz carrier spacing, employing OFDM with 8 DBPSK or DQPSK carriers. It supports 200 bps using BPSK and 600 bps with DQPSK, with each subcarrier operating at a constant rate of 50 Bd. Robust PACKET leverages the AX-25 frame protocol for data transmission, similar to standard PACKET. Compared to traditional PACKET, Robust PACKET demonstrates enhanced resilience against multipath propagation and fading effects, critical for reliable HF communications. It also exhibits a more efficient spectral footprint, with sidebands extending only to 500 Hz, whereas 300 Bd FSK PACKET can produce sidebands up to 730 Hz. Operational frequencies for Robust PACKET include 3.61 MHz, 7.0473 MHz, 10.1473 MHz, and 14.1033 MHz, with specific regional frequencies also documented. Decoding software options for Robust PACKET include Wavecom W-Code and Wavecom W-Spectra. The mode is primarily supported by SCS's 'Tracker / DSP TNC' hardware.

Single-sideband (SSB) radio enhances spectral efficiency but poses challenges with audio intelligibility, particularly in noisy conditions. A microphone audio compressor addresses these issues by dynamically managing the audio signal’s dynamic range. It amplifies quiet sounds and attenuates loud ones, ensuring consistent audio levels for improved clarity. Benefits include increased intelligibility, higher average power, and reduced spurious emissions. While essential for optimal SSB performance, careful parameter adjustment is crucial to balance natural sound quality and effective communication across various operating modes.
