Discover radio by doing something real.

You do not need to buy equipment first. Listen to live receivers, see current activity, follow portable stations, explore satellites and mesh networks, then choose a learning path or equipment that matches what interests you.

STEP 3

Learn by following a practical path

Technical library →
LEARNING PATH

Your first hour with radio

Hear real signals, identify what you are seeing and make your first evidence-based observations before buying anything.

60 min
LEARNING PATH

SDR Spectrum Detective

Use live SDR receivers to identify signals by bandwidth, timing, frequency and modulation clues.

90 min
LEARNING PATH

Digital radio: from FT8 spots to networks

Understand how weak-signal digital modes turn RF propagation into live measurable network data.

120 min
LEARNING PATH

Antennas: measure, predict, improve

Predict resonance, measure SWR or impedance, explain the difference and tune the antenna.

150 min
LEARNING PATH

MeshCore congestion lab

Learn airtime, routing, link budgets, hidden nodes and congestion by diagnosing a real mesh network.

180 min
LEARNING PATH

Track and hear an amateur satellite

Use orbital data and a receiver to predict a pass, hear a satellite and reason about Doppler shift.

120 min
STEP 4

Explore modern wireless networks

Review repeater density and airtime before adding infrastructure

Topology density suggests elevated congestion risk. This is not yet a measured airtime result; use node telemetry before making RF changes.
