Welcome

The intent is to help people experience various wireless communications projects/services available to makers, hackers across the Radio Frequency (RF) Spectrum. Whether you have a (Amateur Radio) license or not, you can enjoy ways of sending and receiving RF signals. All activities are targeted at the beginner and intermediate level.

Wireless CTF for the Absolute Beginner

Shortwave Listening (SWL) is perhaps the oldest hobbyist listening of RF. Given the international reach of that spectrum and cheap Software Defined Radio (SDR) kit, special event station W2H will be operating from New York (state) on various Amateur Radio HF bands focusing on digital modes in the 20 and 40 Meter Band. Besides making contacts with those of you who are licensed, we will be making test transmissions with messages in them using various modes. Successfully contact us or send as copy of the message received during our test transmissions and you will receive a QSL Card (snail mail or electronic.)

* Don't have a radio?

No problem. Check out these freely accessible online SDRs.

* What can I use to decode digital modes

Recommended cross-platform software includes FLdigi and WSJT-X. Will be updating this page on how to use the software with a radio or piping from audio from an online SDR.


HOPE 2020 Radio Net

HOPE XI is the first year we ran an Amateur Radio repeater encouraging licensed attendees to make new contacts. We tried adding an Echolink node so we could have global reach but it did not work out. This year we will look to run a one hour net accessible via DMR and Echolink. W2H will be available via the net.
