Issue 400 October 4, 2025

Taking a Break
400 is a nice round number and feels like a good point to place a short pause on this newsletter through the end of the year. I'll be using the extra time to focus on other projects like Net Finder as well as some non-Ham Radio projects. In the meantime, keep an eye out for a few special issues including the usual end-of-year round-up of most-clicked articles.
