Saved channel setups: Google Sheets (channel / memory reference) — For others as a reference and for me when I program a new handheld or start from a clean radio.
I’m building RFWhisper — real-time, fully local AI denoising for amateur radio. It pulls weak SSB/CW/FT8 out of modern RFI using DeepFilterNet3 on GNU Radio + SoapySDR + ONNX Runtime. Cross-platform, low-latency (Linux, macOS, Windows, Raspberry Pi 5). GPLv3. 73. rfwhisper.org
In Progress
- Studying for my General class exam (HF privileges are the next big step).
- Preparing to join ARES and complete local emergency communications onboarding.
- Working toward SKYWARN storm spotter training and activation readiness.
- Building a more reliable home station setup to stop relying on handhelds.
- Checking into local nets more consistently to improve operating confidence and net discipline.
- Improving my logging workflow (contacts, signal reports, and station notes after each session).
