FT8 is a popular low power digital modeling these days for HF. I highly recommend reading the specification!

I agree. It's amazing how well it works. I've played with FT8 and WSPR and communicated with Australia using 500mw (from the midwest USA).

    My Rpi1 WSPR transmitter was heard once in New Zealand on 30M and it is just the Pi, a filter, a tuner, and a long wire over the roof. Here in central Ohio I routinely get Thunder Bay receiving me with the setup which is wild.

      Wow, very cool. I'll have to try the Rpi WSPR transmitter. Do you happen to have a link? Does it require the Rpi v1?
