ITEMS OF INTEREST

3. OPENWEBRX PROJECTS RECEIVE AMATEUR RADIO SOFTWARE AWARD

The fifth annual Amateur Radio Software Award has been awarded to the hams behind two 
innovative open-source software projects: OpenWebRX and OpenWebRX+ 

The projects and their developers are being honored with the international award for 
providing innovative, free and open software that enhances amateur radio.

The leader of the OpenWebRX project is Jakob Ketterl DD5JFK. OpenWebRX can be operated 
from any web browser on a computer with network access and has no need for additional 
client software. The SDR receiver was designed with a simple interface to make it easy 
for inexperienced people to experience HF reception.

The leader of the OpenWebRX+ project is Marat Fayzullin, KC1TXE. OpenWebRX+ is Linux 
software that contains various decoders to be used with OpenWebRx, providing access to 
SSTV, AIS, CW and RTTY.  It is considered a fork of the OpenWebRX project, which means 
it uses the source code of the original project to expand upon it.

4. First Contact Made Through QO-100 from North America

The first contact through the QO-100 geostationary satellite made from North America 
took place on May 11th from Newfoundland, Canada. VO1/M0XUU (VU3HPF) made a trans-atlantic 
FT8 contact with G0MRF in London. The contact is significant considering the QO-100 
footprint falls beyond Newfoundland at -0.9° below the horizon.
