OperatingQRP · portable

I work QRP at 5-10 watts, and QRO at ~100 watts from my QTH. I mostly work FT8, but I've been getting more into SSTV and other modes. LICW member, trying to learn the code.

I activate parks for Parks on the Air as often as I'm able to, mostly on digital modes. If you hear me from a park, I'm probably at 5w with a less-than-ideal antenna.

Faint Transmission Consolefterm · pre-alpha

I’m building Faint Transmission Console, a terminal front end on macOS & Linux. It's a full digital station in a TUI, including several enrichments to support SSTV (Kitty Graphics!), and assisted logging for SSB & CW. It natively supports xOTA activations with integrated SOTAmāt spotting, and notes Park-to-Park operators in the UI if you have internet connection. All xOTA programs are defined-as-code and new programs can be added easily with a config file. It can pull clock and grid square from a GPS dongle, logs as it goes, as well as several other "kitchen sink" features.

If you would like to test the pre-alpha, feel free to reach out.
