Open Source Ham Radio Software

The WSJT project implements software for amateur radio communication using state-of-the-art digital techniques. Typical applications involve "DXing" at LF, MF, HF, and VHF+ frequencies, including meteor scatter and EME ("moonbounce"). Major emphasis is placed on weak-signal techniques. Summary Program Descriptions: WSJT-X supports the communication protocols FST4, FT4, FT8, JT4, JT9, JT65, Q65, MSK144, WSPR, FST4W, and Echo, each optimized for different sorts of radio-wave propagation. MAP65 and QMAP are designed for EME at VHF and higher frequencies. MAP65 provides a panoramic, polarization-matching receiver for the Q65 and JT65. modes. QMAP works together with WSJT-X to provide a panoramic receiver for Q65 modes covering a 90 kHz sub-band. Programs WSJT and WSPR are interesting primarily for historical reasons. They are superseded by WSJT-X.

Morse Code (CW) decoder for Unix-like systems (and Windows).

CWStudio is a portable almost library-independent and computationally efficient generator of CW signals for telegraphy training purposes. It can create a sound with maximum similarity to the real air, simulating many difficulties.

Achtung: Sehr frühe Entwicklerversion, nur zum Testen und Vorschläge mach, nicht zum aktiven Gebrauch! LibreOffice HamLog ist eine Tabelle mit Basic-Scripten und Masken zur Führung eines Amateurfunk Logbuches. Der Gedanke hinter der Software ist folgender: Ich benötige keine Installation und kann mein Log auf einem USB Stick speichern und an jedem Rechner mit LO oder OOo führen egal welches Betriebsystem.

QAntenna is able to show antennas in a 3D plot, and calculate it's radiattion pattern. It is capable of working with many antennas at the same time.

MLS6(BG9AMG's the Maidenhead's Locator System Calculator 6th) is a free calculator program, which can convert Maidenhead's Locator System Grid Square into a coordinate(Lat/Lon) and gernerate a GoogleEarth kml file, distri- buted under GPL.

Amateur radio log program written in PHP. Put your log online for visitors to browse in real time. Access your log from any web browser. Work is also planned for contest logging and enhanced entry ease.

Collection of HAM radio APRS tools: - METAR to APRS WX data injector

The SBS1 Explorer application features a nice GUI allowing a variety of queries to any SBS-1 flights database without having to install the BaseStation software. Simply get a database file (usually BaseStation.sqb) and open it in SBS1 Explorer.

WebLogger is a php-based application designed to help Amateur Radio operators log radio traffic. WebLogger targets traffic related to community and public service such as skywarn, assisting in natural disasters and other emergency situations.

A portable library to control the ICOM PCR-1000 computer controlled general purpose radio receiver and gui front ends for X, Aqua, and windows32

Tracks runner's in/out time at each aid station. Saves data in CSV file. Can be configured for other races. AidStations.txt in repository contains the 15 or so Aid Stations used for the Bear100. The Bear100 is an annual 100 mile, 2 day race on foot through the Rocky Mountains in North America. Will communicate via serial over a 1200 baud AX.25 link to a ARES/Data backend (which we call NetControl). Can initialize some hardware TNCs with parameters optimal for ARES/Data topology. See ARES paper for topology/backend: http://www.tapr.org/pub_cnc07.html All Aid Stations are expected to use same frequency concurrently, and optionally send queries to Net Control. Note backend will support more frequencies if more radios were hooked up. Expected that subset of stations will use software. Remainder will communicate runner data via voice to NetControl.

Test your knowledge of ARRL and RAC Sections and US States and Canadian provinces. Helps improve your logging rate for all Ham Radio contests that require logging sections, or states, and provinces, including Field Day, Sweepstakes, ARRL DX, etc

Next generation APRS iGate for HAM radio use.

The DXSpider DX Cluster is a linux based, (mainly) perl program designed to provide the same general functionality (and more) as the DOS version originally written by Dick Newell AK1A.

A CW beacon implemented in C language on a AVR AtTiny13A microcontroller (1KB flash!). Include a CW parametric modulator/keyer, an emulated I2C periferal and a device driver in order to handle the Si570 oscillator by Silabs. You can personalize the transmitted message and the morse speed (in WPM). In the example the beacon is IQ6MC/B JN63RH @ 144.450MHz. Enjoy this example and if you will appreciate it, please sens me a feedback! IW6DFW, Maurizio

FreqLength is a simple wavelength calculator that takes a given frequency as input and spits out various wavelength values for that frequency (full wave, half wave, etc.) If you'd like to donate there's several ways to do so: PayPal: https://paypal.me/gerowen Bitcoin (BTC): bc1q86c5j7wvf6cw78tf8x3szxy5gnxg4gj8mw4sy2 Monero (XMR): 42ho3m9tJsobZwQDsFTk92ENdWAYk2zL8Qp42m7pKmfWE7jzei7Fwrs87MMXUTCVifjZZiStt3E7c5tmYa9qNxAf3MbY7rD LiberaPay: https://liberapay.com/gerowen

If you don't own a frequency-meter and if you are an amator-radio, this program is for you ! It allow to convert frequencies between 25.610 and 28.310 MHz.

BSXLog is an Amateur Radio Logging program written in Python for the Gtk GUI with postgresql as the backend database
