The book is suitable for the full range of beginners through old hands at ham radio. Step-by-step installation of the operating system is described with many details on the commonly used Linux commands. Some knowledge of the Python programming language is required to understand and modify the projects given in the book. Example projects developed in the book include a station clock, waveform generation, transistor amplifier design, active filter design, Morse code exerciser, frequency counter, RF meter, and more. The block diagram, circuit diagram, and complete Python program listings are given for each project, including the full description of the projects.

Besides wide coverage of RTL-SDR for amateur radio, the book also summarizes the installation and use instructions of the following ham radio programs and software tools you can run on your Raspberry Pi: TWCLOCK, Klog, Gpredict, FLDIGI, DIRE WOLF, xcwcp, QSSTV, LinPsk, Ham Clock, CHIRP, xastir, and CQRLOG.

Good morning!  As many of you may already know, the Feb 2022 edition of QST has a really interesting article about mountain-topping ops.  It features McMinn County ARC (Athens) members, who organize mountain-top field events in and around the Great Smoky Mountains.  They work a variety of FM & HF phone bands, POTA, SOTA, as well as APRS and other digital modes.  Of course, mountain tops provide some of the most effective antenna “masts” and lines of sight around.  The article shows you can have lots of fun running field ops events while honing your portable system skills and gaining valuable EMCOMM working experience.--
