Hi, Phigan.

I've thought (more like dreamt) about lashing a BBS to my SDR, though I don't have the time or the expertise to make it happen.

The ideas I had were:

1) allow the user to tune around using an ASCII waterfall - I got the ASCII waterfall part working just on the Linux CLI. It would need to be toned down refresh rate-wise but should be somewhat usable.

2) Given 1) above, enable decodes for RTTY, morse, FT4 / FT8. There are plenty of RTTY weather stations decodable from my loft wire.

3) Maybe there's something doable with APRS / LoRA / whatever?
