AI6YR Ben<p>Someone has figured out how to encode data into bird calls </p><p>The Register: Flock storage: Audio boffin encodes data in a starling</p><p>"...little bird successfully learned and emulated the sound in the exact same frequency range that he heard it, effectively transferring about 176 kilobytes of uncompressed information."</p><p>It's a neat demonstration of what a starling is capable of. "While there are a lot of caveats and limitations there," Jordan went on, "the fact that you could set up a speaker in your yard and conceivably store any amount of data in song birds is crazy."</p><p>We asked Jordan if there might be more attempts in the future. "I suppose if I were to try again, I'd use FT8 signals, which are used in amateur radio and designed to transmit data with the imperfections of analog signals.</p><p><a href="https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/30/encoded_audio_starling_song/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theregister.com/2025/07/30/enc</span><span class="invisible">oded_audio_starling_song/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/ft8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ft8</span></a></p>

Chip Kroh<p>Good... afternoon y'll!! Out and about today. Got up at 0730 and decided I was not going to spend the entire day doing chores and such. </p><p>Drove out to a local state park (Gifford Pinchot State Park) to play radio. Since I developed my radio go kit, I decided to test everything out, HF and VHf. Started with packet radio, trying to make contact with my home BBS over VHF frequencies; no connection. Went through digital repeaters with minimal trouble, but then the BBS went wonky. One VPN and SSH connection later, I reset the BBS and made connections on multiple frequencies. Woo Hoo!</p><p>Next up was the HF radio and FT8, a weak signal communications mode. I've made a few contacts at 25 watts on the portable vertical antenna. Decided not to stretch out the NVIS dipole as there are too many kids running around and I don't want one of them running into the wires. Next time I'll find a spot a little less populated. </p><p>So far so good. I got out of the apartment, it's not hot or humid out, and I've only gotten rained on a little bit. Keeping an eye on the weather, because it takes about a half hour to get the stuff back in the car. </p><p>Trying not to engage with all of the CA crap going on right now. As soon as I heard the deployment of NG troops, my mind immediately went to the move "The Siege." Not good.</p><p>Stay safe and LET'S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!</p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/amateurradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amateurradio</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/ft8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ft8</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/packetradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>packetradio</span></a> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@firefly" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>firefly</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@BakerRL75" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>BakerRL75</span></a></span> @<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://vmst.io/@czarbucks" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>czarbucks</span></a></span> @<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://toad.social/@amyedge" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>amyedge</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>ai6yr</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@Jennifer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Jennifer</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@AE4WX" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>AE4WX</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://cunnin.me/@technodad" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>technodad</span></a></span></p>

Bryan King<p><strong>Why Every Future Ham Radio Operator Should Know About WSJT-X (Even Before Getting a&nbsp;License)</strong></p><p><em>678 words, 4 minutes read time</em></p><p>If you’re a guy intrigued by the world of amateur radio but haven’t yet taken the plunge to get licensed, there’s a powerful tool that can ignite your passion and deepen your understanding: WSJT-X. This software suite, developed by Nobel Laureate Dr. Joe Taylor (K1JT), is revolutionizing the way amateur radio enthusiasts communicate, especially under weak-signal conditions<a href="https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">.</a></p><p><strong>What Is WSJT-X?</strong></p><p>WSJT-X stands for “Weak Signal Joe Taylor – eXtended.” It’s a free, open-source software designed for weak-signal digital communication by amateur radio. The suite includes various modes like FT8, FT4, JT65, and WSPR, each optimized for different types of radio-wave propagation. </p><p><strong>Why Should You Care About WSJT-X?</strong></p><p>Even without a license, WSJT-X offers a window into the amateur radio world. You can monitor signals, understand propagation patterns, and get a feel for the community. It’s like being a fly on the wall in a global conversation, offering insights that can be invaluable when you decide to pursue your license.​</p><p><strong>Getting Started with WSJT-X</strong></p><ol><li><strong>Download and Install</strong>: Visit the <a href="https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">official WSJT-X website</a> to download the software compatible with your operating system.​<a href="https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WSJT+2WSJT+2WSJT+2</a></li><li><strong>Set Up Your Hardware</strong>: While transmitting requires a license, receiving doesn’t. You can start by connecting a Software Defined Radio (SDR) like the RTL-SDR to your computer. This setup allows you to receive signals and observe the digital modes in action.​</li><li><strong>Configure the Software</strong>: Input your location details and set up the audio input from your SDR. Ensure your computer’s clock is synchronized accurately, as digital modes like FT8 are time-sensitive.​</li><li><strong>Start Listening</strong>: Once set up, you can start monitoring various bands. You’ll see call signs, signal reports, and other data scrolling across your screen, providing a real-time look at global communications.​</li></ol><p><strong>Understanding Digital Modes</strong></p><p>WSJT-X supports several digital modes, each with unique characteristics:​</p><ul><li><strong>FT8</strong>: The most popular mode, designed for quick and efficient communication under weak signal conditions.​</li><li><strong>FT4</strong>: Faster than FT8, suitable for contesting and rapid exchanges.​</li><li><strong>JT65 and JT9</strong>: Older modes, still used for specific applications like moonbounce communications.​</li><li><strong>WSPR</strong>: Stands for “Weak Signal Propagation Reporter,” used for testing propagation paths with low-power transmissions.​</li></ul><p><strong>Learning from the Community</strong></p><p>Engaging with the amateur radio community can enhance your learning experience.

David Croyle<p>My Mac running WSJ-TX is annoying in that every time I reboot, there is a high chance (but not 100%) that the Serial Port has changed name, and so needs to be manually re-selected in the WSJTX prefs in order to work. Why it randomly switches names I don't know, and why WSJTX can't figure it out I don't know either, but it's something I have to deal with every day that I wish I didn't.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/wsjtx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wsjtx</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ft8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ft8</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacOS</span></a></p>

David Croyle<p>Good day of ham radio progress! I just got my first FT8 QSO confirmation on QRZ (of 8), and also picked up MS on SSB towards QRZ WAS, leaving just 2 states for that goal... And hopefully I'll have my first POTA FT8 contact confirmed as well. </p><p>I'm having more fun with FT8 than I thought I would too, so big bonus points there.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ft8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ft8</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/POTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>POTA</span></a></p>
