Wednesday brings a satisfying spread across the hobby, from GNU Radio migrating into your browser tab to a busy September DXpedition calendar and a barefoot 5-watt outing in an Indian forest. There's also a Star Trek nod on HamClock, live band exploration tools, and shortwave listening that runs from typhoon coverage to imaginary stations.
