Amateur radio projects

David, W4BRD, builds these for PAARC — the Peoria-Area Amateur Radio Club, W9UVI. They started as club program material: rather than explain modulation with static diagrams, they run a real transmitter and receiver in the browser, so you can turn the knobs yourself and hear what changes.
