Coding

I’m no coder by most measures. But I do collect a few bits and pieces that might be useful every now and again. But…there is something that I’m looking to do. HamTool is command line menu of stuff that I frequently do. Its nothing to write home about but its there to help me learn a little bit more about Python.

Very little of this is original…most of it is stuff that I’ve found and used as is or adapted slightly for my own use. I’m not a massive fan of MegaCorp so my stuff is hosted on Codeberg (Ironically this website hasn’t moved from GitHub Pages - yet)

I prefer command line things to GUI’s but not for everything. That would be weird. Mostly what I mess about with are really basic things that the more experienced will find trivial. Some of the stuff include:

A few things that I wanted to do

HamTools is a simple collection of scripts, written in Python that display stuff on the console. It isn’t polished at all and the look and feel needs a lot of work but thats for later on

• Setting the time on my IC7300 because the battery is useless. I adapted an existing script for me
• Calculate the distance and bearing of 2 Maidenhead locators. A bit of help on this one but the script works
• Make a little menu system
• Adapter POTA and SOTA code to look the same
• Make a lookup for CWOps callsigns

There are all sorts of things that could be put in there as the image suggests. Quite a few are outside my capability. So I’ll do what I can, when I can.
