A Wiki for Open Source in Amateur Radio
June 1, 2024OpenSource.radio is a new wiki started by DK1MI which aims to highlight all things open source in amateur radio. From hardware to software, this project is designed to provide hams with a free source of information to help further their exploration into the ham radio hobby.
The OpenSource.radio wiki can be viewed here. DK1MI is looking for additional contributors and has provided a how-to document for those interested.
[DK1MI created] a public Wiki that lists and describes available open source projects in more detail, as well as providing ready-made recipes for setting up a free amateur radio station. It should serve as a first port of call to find out what alternatives there are to commercial products or simply to get inspiration for new projects.

RSGB Strategic Priorities Update
May 31, 2024The Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) has provided an update of their four strategic priorities which are designed to secure future success. The priorities are:
- Growth of amateur radio
- Membership of the RSGB
- Spectrum and licensing
- Continued financial stability of the Society
Each will be championed by a Board Director. For example, Ben, GW4MNL is overseeing the creation of an outreach team that will put in place the building blocks to support individuals, clubs and RSGB volunteers to take amateur radio out to a variety of external audiences.
Our membership priority will involve identification of active amateurs who are not members of the Society and sharing with them the many benefits of joining and adding their voice to ours. We also need to engage more with our membership to better understand their expectations and needs going forward.
It is essential that each strategic goal and activity has clear means identified to measure success, and I will be working to ensure that these are put into place and to monitor and report on our progress.
We need an all-encompassing strategy so that the volunteers and staff have a single direction and everyone knows where the Society is heading.
