The Tools We Use

Since 2016, we’ve used a few differenet tools to gather and analyze the data for the is project. Some where produced by the Amateur Radio Community others we built is house.

The community tools we used were;

FLDigi beacon script https://github.com/ve6sar/FLdigi_Scheduler

JS8call Log parsing script https://github.com/ve6sar/js8call_log_parser

The above scripts are both written in Perl which makes them platform independent. Perl can be installed on any major operating system. They have been posted as an example for others to use in creating their own scripts.
