You're Invited to a Presentation on DigiPi - the Ham's Digital Toolbox, Tues. April 22nd, 5:30pm CDT
For those interested in digital communications for portable operations like POTA, SOTA and Field Day, this program will acquaint you with an inexpensive device using a Raspberry Pi and FREE software. Your smartphone or tablet/iPad becomes the display/keyboard.
The Collins Amateur Radio Club will hold its monthly meeting at Woodcreek Church, 3400 E. Renner Rd., Richardson, at 5:30 p.m. CDT on Tuesday, April 22nd. The program topic for the evening will be “DigiPi - the Ham’s Digital Toolbox” presented by Craig Lamparter, KM6LYW.
The meeting will, also, be streamed via Zoom. Zoom login instructions are included at the end of this announcement, and, are posted on the Club’s website at n5cxx.us <>
DigiPi is an easy-to-use amateur radio data transceiver hotspot for Raspberry Pi. All radio data modes are easily accessible over wifi via your phone or web browser. Make FT8, JS8Call, APRS and packet modes work like any other mobile phone app.
Hookup a DigiPi to your rig and instantly have access to radio SMS, EMail, and texting. Ultra- light, low-power makes it indispensable for Summit and Park operations. “Let's make Ham radio relevant in the information age!,” says Craig. DigiPi implements all the data modes talked about at KM6LYW Radio YouTube channel.
A full description of DigiPi is available at
Craig has been a Linux and Open Source professional for over twenty years. He’s active in the Linux and Open Source community where he contributes to a variety of projects, writing articles, speaking at public events and generally evangelizes the open source continuum whenever possible.

Volunteer for Engineering Drawings Needed - AMSAT
From ANS-110 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletin ? To: All RADIO AMATEURS
From: Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation
712 H Street NE, Suite 1653
Washington, DC 20002 ? DATE 2025 APR?20 ? Volunteer for Engineering Drawings Needed
As the AMSAT engineering team prepares to build an engineering prototype of its GOLF 3U CubeSat with deployable solar panels, its mechanical engineers could use a bit of help creating drawings for the satellite solar panels, antennas, and associated small parts. You will work directly with the engineer who created the parts. ? When asked to make a drawing, the engineer will provide you with the AutoCAD Inventor file of the part plus the assembly model where the part is used. From the assembly model you can learn the function of the assembly and the role of-the part in the assembly. This information will help you determine how to dimension the part and chose tolerances so that it is machined properly. Also, the engineer will provide written instructions for guidance and be available to answer questions. ? If you have some spare time to create about 20 drawings, each consisting of a latch, spring, bushing, structural post, antenna mount, PCBs, etc., AMSAT engineers could use your help to stay on schedule. The time estimate that a drawing might require is?1-3 hours?of time. Their modelling software is AutoCAD Inventor. They can provide access to an Inventor license if you need it. ? For more information please send your email with a short description of your experience to volunteer [at] amsat [dot] org. ? [ANS thanks AMSAT for the above information.] ?

HAM Shack dashboard by N2MXX
?
??? Cool Tool for Your Shack! ???
Check out this super handy website: — it puts weather data, radio propagation, band status, solar info, and more all in one clean, easy-to-read dashboard!
Perfect for keeping an eye on conditions before you hit the airwaves. Just a heads-up: it works best on non-mobile devices (like your PC or laptop). Definitely worth bookmarking for the shack! ????

ISS to Transmit SSTV April 11-13 to Celebrate Cosmonautics Day
Didn't get enough SSTV last week? The International Space Station will be transmitting special Slow Scan Television (SSTV) images to celebrate Cosmonautics Day, which honors Yuri Gagarin's historic first spaceflight on April 12, 1961. The SSTV event is organized by ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) and will run from April 11 through the weekend.
A total of 12 images will be broadcast in PD120 mode on the standard downlink frequency of 145.800 MHz FM. Enthusiasts around the world can receive these images using a VHF radio or SDR, along with SSTV decoding software such as MMSSTV, RX-SSTV, or Robot36. This is a great opportunity for amateur radio operators and space fans alike to collect commemorative images directly from orbit. Be sure to check ISS pass times for your location so you don’t miss the transmissions.
(ANS thanks ARISS for the above information)

N0A will be active on HF across 80m, 40m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, and 10m and will utilize both SSB and FT8 modes. The event runs March 17-31, 2025. Each spring, National Weather Service Forecast Offices hold Severe Weather Awareness weeks in their respective regions to educate the public about the dangers of severe weather and the importance of being prepared. Our goal with this special event station is to do the same within the amateur radio community.

Peanut (software) for Amateur Radio: Advantages & Capabilities
I mention this in the info net 3/20/2025 , just another tool for ham radio operators. Check it out , if you are interested in testing let me know i am monitoring few channels. I am no expert but i'll try my best.
?
Peanut for Ham Radio: Advantages & Capabilities
Peanut is a VoIP-based communication system designed for licensed amateur radio operators, allowing them to connect with other hams worldwide using just an internet connection. Developed by PA7LIM, Peanut is particularly useful for those who may not have access to a traditional HF or VHF/UHF radio but still want to engage in the ham radio community.
Advantages of Using Peanut
? Accessible Worldwide – No need for RF equipment or an antenna; just an internet connection and a compatible device (PC, Android, Raspberry Pi).
? Great for HOAs and Limited Space – Perfect for hams who live in antenna-restricted environments (such as apartments or HOA-controlled neighborhoods).
? No Expensive Equipment Required – All you need is a microphone and speakers to start communicating.
? Bridges Digital & Analog Modes – Connects to DMR, D-STAR, System Fusion, and other networks, allowing cross-mode communication.
? Great for New Hams – An easy way to experience the world of amateur radio before investing in expensive radio equipment.
? Useful for Travelers – Stay connected with the ham community even when you’re away from your station.
? Low Power Consumption – Ideal for portable operations where traditional radio equipment may not be practical. Use your phone or computer or radio.
? Educational Tool – Helps new operators understand digital communication modes and networking.
Capabilities of Peanut
? Connect to Reflectors & Talk Groups (such as XRF, YSF, and DMR rooms). ? Works with Android, Windows, and Raspberry Pi (currently no iOS version). ? Offers low-latency communication with clear audio. ? Operates over Wi-Fi or mobile data, making it easy to use on the go.
I seen alos ways to do analog radio to a local digital radio to a penut connectoin ( Crazy integration from ham radio operator)
Peanut provides a unique blend of amateur radio and modern internet technology, helping hams stay connected across the world. Whether you’re an experienced ham or just starting, Peanut is a great addition to your toolbox!
