I write about the hobby as it is now: SDR, noise, licenses, experiments. And I built a few tools along the way. If any of it helps you stay on the air, that's enough.

Listen · Explore · ConnectWhat I read, test, and get wrong. SDR, noise, digital modes, satellites, antennas, propagation. Sometimes news, sometimes just what worked today.
How I sorted out the license and the basics, what I got wrong, and what I would skip now. Written to sit next to you, not to lecture you.
The program I sell. It listens to your radio, takes the noise off, writes down the speech, catches the callsign, and can log the QSO. All on your machine. Core is free.
The drawer. Small scripts, a few links, other people’s things I keep coming back to. If you want the noise-and-log program, that is RX, not here.
Half-finished experiments and small open-source pieces. Nothing polished. Read the log before you trust any of it.
Other people fiddling with the same things. Mostly a newsletter and an open mailbox. Write if something does not work.
No question here is too basic. I got plenty wrong when I started. Begin with the plain guides and take your time.
Maybe a note on digital modes, satellites, or antennas saves you an evening. If I am wrong about something, tell me.
If you do DSP or machine learning, radio is a good, messy real-world signal to point it at. The license comes later.
RX listens to whatever your radio gives you: it takes the noise off, writes down the speech, catches the callsign, and can log the QSO. All of it on your machine. Core is free. Pro is not for sale yet, and I will say so plainly until it is.
