FreeDATA

I heard one of the guys on the net the other evening mention a new mode called FreeDATA.  It sounded like FreeDV and, in fact, I though that was what he was talking about, but on listening further I found that it was, if not a new mode, a new development of an existing mode called codex 2.  

You can download the software here: -

And find the Wiki here: -

I'll have a play with this and report back once I have worked out how to drive it.

DXCC reaches 95

I can confirm that I am inching closer in my painfully slow march to 100 DXCC contacts .  I now have 95 confirmed contacts, the last five being, Kuwait, Azores, Dominican Republic, Angola and Mongolia. 

LoTW states that, as of today, I have the following overall stats: -

You have 954 QSO records
You have 679 QSL records

As you can see, I'm not an avid user of the airways.

M5HamRadio - updates

Armel F4HWN has been busy updating the software for the M5Stack. He is now up to Ver. 0.0.8.  Seems like there have been a number of bug fixes and he has also included the ICKeyer into the main package.

Great work Armel👍
