Contributed by Jason L. Wright on from the dept.
in the OpenBSD project. I've had several ports in my tree for
a long time:
- xastir - APRS/GIS mapping program
- xlog - general purpose GTK logging program
- colrdx/xdx - DX cluster client
- hamlib - radio/rotator control library
- gpsk31 - PSK31 interface
- gmfsk - PSK31/THROB/RTTY/etc interface
More are on the way as they get tested and approved.
So, when I return from the hackathon, listen for me on the
air. 73 de Jason/AI4JW

Maybe I should take up the ham-radio hobby again, haven't been radioactive for many years...

If I can find the source for it, I'll be importing flmorse (a morse
training program I wrote that uses fltk). Already in the tree is
morseplayer (reads stdin and writes morse to /dev/audio). Also in
my queue is cwdaemon. So yes, stay tuned =)

Also coming soon. I've got one of the ettus research USRP radio's
on order and also have access to an SDR1000 for tinkering.

It depends on how you define Open Source front, but look at
the ettus research radios. The designs are all done in open
source tools and are available in editable formats. The
radio interfaces are well documented down to the FPGA level,
and the software interface is GPL. I'm not sure how much more open
you could get.

too much to submit it.
This raises an interesting possibility for a lot of hams who are
coming to the realization that Windows isn't safe: if the the most
used programs exist on OpenBSD, perhaps I can steer some hams to
OpenBSD. Given that they don't know much of computers, a lot of
them will go in the direction where they see things working. I've
already gotten two hams using OpenBSD for general things, mostly
because of the documentation.
So I need to stop slacking and finish getting an sstv program
running, and see about K1JT's WJST code.
I wonder how many hams are using OpenBSD now?

I think we should found a clubstation and apply for HB9BSD...

How about an informal OpenBSD net on 20m?

I'd like to see some more "Operating system here: OpenBSD" on the air.
Keep on pushing! BSD and Ham Radio is a beautiful combination.
FLDigi would be something on my wish list.

fldigi looks nice, but it requires fltk2 which is painful for ports right now. Generally ports policy is that we follow stable branches, but fltk2 has been in development now for years with no end in sight. We may have to bite the bullet at some point and start tracking their fltk2 branch.

It is in my tree and needs major whacking. The shared library building in that package is hand built (for linux, which means it's wrong for us). I'd like to get it working... it's a dependency for modern cwdaemon. If someone can libtool-ize it, or otherwise fix the shared library handling and lemme know, that'd be great!
