An independent HF listening station

AvoNet's HF listening station is built to receive and monitor amateur radio activity—not to transmit. Using software-defined radio and digital reception reporting, it listens for signals and helps make those reception observations available to the wider radio community.

The goal is straightforward: build a capable, reliable listening post, learn from the signals received, and share useful reception information with amateur radio operators.

Built out of curiosity. Driven by technology. Connected by radio.
