Welcome to hamscripts — a cozy little toolbox of scripts, tips, and how-tos for people who like radios, terminals, and having things Just Work™. Whether you’re automating the things, wrangling rigs, or just nerding out, this repo is where my tasty bits neither of us has to reinvent the wheel.
- A collection of small, focused scripts for amateur radio ops.
- Short walkthroughs and notes for getting tools running on macOS (and sometimes Linux. Windows users are on their own).
- Practical examples you can copy, tweak, and adopt for your own shack.
Expect things to be informal, well-commented, and approachable — because ham radio should be fun and not a stress test for your patience.
- A ready-to-run bash helper that starts
rigctld, launches the Pat Winlink web client, opens the UI in your browser, and manages shutdown and error handling. It's a small automation that saves a lot of repetitive clicks.
See mac_winlink_runner/README.md for details and installation steps.
- Clone this repo.
- Peek at the folder that interests you (for example,
mac_winlink_runner). - Read the folder README and follow its install/usage notes.
Perfect — open a PR, add a script, or raise an issue with suggestions. Keep scripts idempotent and well-commented. Small README updates that explain usage or tweak instructions are much appreciated.
