This week, we've gathered some interesting material for those of you exploring beyond the usual HF fare. There's a good piece on current satellite operations, covering both LEO and GEO birds, which is always something worth revisiting as the constellations evolve. For the portable ops crowd, we’ve got a practical guide to POTA antennas, focusing on field-friendly designs. And if you're looking to get on 10 meters with a minimal footprint, there's a neat build for a vertical antenna using common hardware store parts. Plus, a rigid 6-meter Moxon construction that won't break the bank, and a look at a [...]

JTTY brings RTTY-style contest exchanges to WSJT-X 3.2.0-rc1: 127 Hz GFSK, no T/R cycles, N1MM Logger+ support. See specs and suggested frequencies. [...]

This week, we're looking at some interesting developments in the LoRa space, particularly how it's being leveraged for amateur radio applications. We've got a few resources that touch on mesh networking, off-grid text messaging, and the integration of LoRa with APRS. For those experimenting with portable setups or considering resilient communication methods beyond traditional HF, these items offer practical insights. There's also a utility for managing virtual serial ports, something that comes up often when interfacing modern transceivers or microcontrollers with logging software or control applications. It’s a mix of hardware-adjacent firmware projects and mapping tools, all relevant for operators [...]
