The Hermes-Lite 2 #AmateurRadio project continues at W8JJ. It’s an incredible radio and Thetis SDR software leads the way. I’ve fully integrated a linear amplifier, PureSignal adaptive predisposition, ESSB, the OE3IDE software to integrate metering data from a LP100A and more. Join the fun!

holycluster.iarc.org This remains my favorite app of its kind. Best visual representation of DX spots and propagation paths that I’ve found. Enjoy!

Bands were choppy for today's #K1USN #SST, but still worked a fair number of stations. Getting more comfortable running CQ rather than searching for others.

I’m just a ham with a whiteboard doodling about an #AmateurRadio antenna switching solution for two radios, two amplifiers, two tuners, one wireless antenna switch and multiple antennas.
