"LU5DKI, has developed a system he uses to have high quality radio contacts between him speaking Spanish and other amateurs who speak only English or Japanese."

Could this be used with DMR Brandmeister for overseas QSO's perhaps:

Before I joined FAMPARC and became an amateur, I was collecting data transmitted by aircraft. Specifically, it’s called ADS-B, and it’s the data that organisations such as FlightRadar24 and FlightAware use to populate their web sites. These sites are freely available for people globally to use to track aircraft. That’s not its sole purpose, but it’s the usage most recognised by most people.

Why was this interesting for me? It perfectly blended me being a career-long IT professional, an aviation enthusiast (it’s not co-incidence I live about a kilometre from Moorabbin Airport) and a radio geek. It also provides me with a free, top-tier FlightRadar24 subscription – just what every aviation geek needs.

I’ve been promising Craig for a couple of months that I’d pull together a presentation for FAMPARC members. I took the lazy option – I got Microsoft’s AI tool, Co-Pilot, to do it for me.…

I recently listened to Roy conducting CW lessons on 40m. Great idea and a great job.

I thought some might be interested in the history of CW. A YouTube documentary, which is a little heavy going at times, but gives details for the reason for CW, Its rise and various uses. Its demise and now its resurrection. Radio Amateurs played a big role throughout the life of CW.

Thinking of getting a 2M Simplex chat going.

Maybe on a Friday at 7.30 pm for half hour.

We can pick another time and day if it better suits.

If anyone is interested let me know.

I usually sit on 147.575 and listen if anyone is about.

Cheers
