Jack and Al collaborated to build the T41-EP, a 7 band, 20W, CW/SSB SDR transceiver and this presentation is chiefly about how they developed the high performance CW decoder.

Jack and Al co-authored the Software Defined Radio Transceiver (2022) and Microcontroller Projects for Amateur Radio (2019) books and numerous articles and presentations. They are also co-founders of the Greater Cincinnati Builders Group and were awarded the RSGB’s Bennett Prize in 2021 for their article on their “Double-Double Magnetic Loop” antenna article in the February, 2020, issue of RadCom.

Node-RED is a visual programming language that is very powerful but surprisingly easy to use. The language has matured over recent years and has the potential to be a valuable tool for radio amateurs. In this talk, Mike will provide an introduction to Node-RED programming techniques. He will conclude with a live demonstration to show just how easy it can be to add extra facilities to your rig.
=========================

Almost every ham radio station can benefit from a separate receiving antenna (or several!) While reciprocity applies to both receiving and transmitting antennas, the priorities are different. Effective receiving antennas are optimized for best signal to noise ratio, not necessarily the greatest gain. There are countless interesting means of building high signal to noise ratio receiving antennas and we will explore some of these in ‘Receiving Antennas are Different’.
