OperatingQRP · portable

I go by Sophie in my day-to-day life. Currently I work QRP at five watts into either an AX1 whip or an end-fed half-wave. I mostly work FT8 on 20 meters.

I activate parks for Parks on the Air as often as I'm able to, mostly along the Orange County California coast and the hills behind it. If you hear me from a park, I'm probably at 5w with a less than ideal antenna.

Faint Transmission Consolefterm · pre-alpha

I’m building Faint Transmission Console, a terminal front end for WSJT-X on macOS & Linux. It's a full digital station in a TUI, including several enrichments over WSJT-X. It natively supports POTA activations with SOTAmāt spotting, and notes Park-to-Park operators in the UI if you have internet connection. It can pull time and grid square from a GPS dongle, logs as it goes, as well as several other "kitchen sink" features.

If you would like to test the pre-alpha, feel free to reach out.
