AD6DM™ Hamdom Thoughts

Managing a whole state's peaks for Summits on the Air, and hacking code: Rex KE6MT talks about some of his mountain-topping hikes, his tools, inventing a meter with Arduino, and muddy trail running with ham gear. We also talk a bit about my first SOTA activation, which he unknowingly took me on.

Tuning around on the shortwave radio bands,  you can discover some cool unknown encoded sounds. Some of these sounds can be identified by sound pattern. In the first part of this episode we go over a few ham radio digital modes and guess what they are. In the second part, we hear a few mystery number stations transmitting their message to field agents worldwide. 

Here I just ramble a bit about starting this ham radio related podcast. Hopefully more to come soon!
