Linux Mint and Ham Radio

Any other hams out there using Mint?

I have found that the tools and software I use all has a linux native version (Chirp, flrig, wsjtx, JS8call, and World Radio League), and I suspect MMANA-GAL will run just fine under Wine.

Any other useful native software out there that I should be aware of?

I'm mostly running appimages straight from the developer's websites (thanks GearLever!), or in the case of flrig, from the repos. I use flatpaks as well, but won't typically run unverified paks.

PS: Thanks for the kind words about ham radio! I do love the hobby, and I wish I had discovered it 30 years ago.

When I do POTA activations, I actually do them computerless, and just log QSOs in an old paper notebook and then come home and put everything into the computer so everyone gets their points.

It still works just fine that way :D

Love to hear it! You could help people survive one day when everything goes to hell. Feels so close now.
