Amatuer Radio Operations Tools

I have to give a lot of credit to Andy Stewart (KB1OIQ) for his inspiring "Andy's Ham Radio Linux" distribution, Jason A Oleham (KM4ACK) for his instructions on building a Raspberry PI-based DigiPeater, and Gaston Gonzalez (KT1RUN) who I consider a brother from a different set of parents because of the way he thinks about non-traditional approaches to Amatuer Radio specifically around "no random contacts".

DISCLAIMERS:

Limitations

• For obvious reasons, I don't get into tool logins, authentication, and syncronization of configurations in this set of scripts because... security... and some items are specific to individual projects
