[FoAR] Foundations of Amateur Radio - On the nature of Inspiration .. #podcast (podcasts.itmaze.com.au)

Over the years you’ve heard me utter the phrase: “Get on air and make some noise!”. It’s not an idle thought. The intent behind it is to start, to do something, anything, and find yourself a place within the hobby of amateur radio and the community surrounding it....

Foundations of Amateur Radio: Automatic FM DX decoding (podcasts.itmaze.com.au)

Much is made in our hobby about working DX, that is sending and receiving distant radio signals. How distant is up for debate. Depending on where you are, DX might be outside the continent, outside the country, or in my case you could easily say, anything outside of my state, since the nearest border is about 1,240 km away from...

Foundations of Amateur Radio: A place for everything and everything in its place.. (podcasts.itmaze.com.au)

Some life lessons require additional reinforcement from time to time. This week I was strongly encouraged to remember a lesson that can be summarised as: “A place for everything and everything in its place.” It was first uttered like that to me a quarter of a century ago by a client who used it frequently around their staff....

Foundations of Amateur Radio: The origins of the International Amateur Radio Union (podcasts.itmaze.com.au)

In the early 1920’s long distance communication using radio was a growing interest. At the time it was thought that communication that we take for granted today, over long-distance HF, was limited to long wave or extremely low frequencies, the lower the better. With that restriction came massive antennas and high power...

Foundations of Amateur Radio: Weaving radio into your life. (podcasts.itmaze.com.au)

A great deal of energy is expended on the notion of operating portable. I’ve talked about this plenty of times. Issues like power, antennas, suitable radios, logging, transport and time of day all come to mind. Some activities are framed specifically as portable operations. Things like Summits On The Air, or SOTA, Parks On The...

I love the notion. The marketing “better than DDG” is a little janky. Perhaps consider a positive statement, like “finally find what you’re looking for”.

This is a crowded landscape. I’ve been here since Gopher and seen plenty of services come and go. With that in mind, here are some questions you might want to consider:

How does it compare with products like SearXNG, specifically their ecosystem of plug-in search types?

How do you plan to pay for it?

How do you expect to protect the index against spam?

How will you scale it to a global audience?

How will you handle language?

Good luck!
