    3 Folder Email System

    A brief description of the 3 Folder Email System that I use to manage email. Like the 14 Folder Paper System it has worked relatively well for me over the past several years.

The best part is I can “feel” the switches in the dark to turn on the lights!

    WSJT-X Nodes for Node-RED

    A set of “nodes” for the flow based programming tool Node-RED that connect to, control, and monitor WSJT-X software over the network. With these nodes you can decode messages sent from WSJT-X and inject the data into a flow or using data in your flow encode and send commands to WSJT-X.
