Ham Radio

I am a past member of the Sam Houston Amateur Radio Klub (SHARK) and hold a Technician class license.

Callsign: KJ5POT

World Radio League: app.worldradioleague.com/profile/KJ5POT

Saved channel setups: Google Sheets (channel / memory reference) — For others as a reference and for me when I program a new handheld or start from a clean radio.

RFWhisper

I’m building RFWhisper — real-time, fully local AI denoising for amateur radio. It pulls weak SSB/CW/FT8 out of modern RFI using DeepFilterNet3 on GNU Radio + SoapySDR + ONNX Runtime. Cross-platform, low-latency (Linux, macOS, Windows, Raspberry Pi 5). GPLv3. 73. rfwhisper.org
