About the Station

Always been more of a listener than a talker on the airwaves. I work in networking and microcomputing, and my radio hobby reflects that — I run a range of web-based SDR, ADS-B, APRS, satellite, and digital mode services open to the public. I also hold a Restricted Operator's Certificate covering aviation and maritime radio.

My station is located on the South Shore of Montreal and focuses primarily on digital modes, SDR experimentation, weak-signal work, and infrastructure — repeaters, gateways, and monitoring systems.
