[Novalug] any hams?

[b b]

1. W7AY's Cocoamodem under OS X - has a great CW keyboard/demodulator in addition to supporting PSK31, RTTY, and a half-dozen other modes...

2. JLog - cross-platform app for logging (interfaces via AppleScript)

3. RX320 - Hector Peraza's XClass-lib app, which is basically cross-platform (Linux, NetBSD, OS X):

i also ported a version for Ten Tec's Argonaut V QRP rig:

(client builds under Linux, NetBSD, and OS X - thanks Hector!)

4. simple Perl logging client (my version shamelessly lifted code from NS7F, but attributed; modified for ARRL logsheet format):

lots of other goodies out there for Linux!
