Keyboard Data Modes talk by Mike Richards, G4WNC

Mike Richards, G4WNC, writes the Data Modes column in Practical Wireless, has written a number of RSGB books and for many years has been selling SD cards pre-loaded with amateur software for use with Raspberri Pi computers. (The SD card sales are currently suspended and are to be replaced by downloads soon.) See www.g4wnc.com for more details.

Mike kindly gave the club a fascinating talk via Zoom on June 1 2026. He is trying to encourage use of data modes that can be used for conversational types of QSO rather than minimal FT8/4/2. Full details are in Mike’s presentation – see the download below.

Many thanks to Mike for his talk and for kindly allowing us to share his slides.
