I admit that I did not consider the risk of RF damage to my machine, which I raw dog directly via the provided USB port on my 7300 to my MacBook. Risky, but those 16 thread FT8 decodes in JTDX are too tempting. My computer doesn’t even seem to notice it’s running 28 Firefox tabs, an NTP time sync, JTDX, and GridTracker.

I would like to use some remote tools to interact with my rig, but the one solution I was able to find was $100. Dumb, I know, to fret over $100 having just spent a pretty penny to obtain a 15m mast… but still, the cost for the remote software has less perceived value than the mast.

I’ve just been introduced (like, literally yesterday) to FreeDV, but haven’t made any QSOs yet.

The digital space is wonderful, and I love it so much.

I love these posts mate, keep them up.
