Amateur radio operators build and operate radio equipment including communicating via satellites. Very few of them develop their own software, the majority build and operate hardware. Amateur radio software is used in conjunction with hardware for RTTY contests, digital communication modems, satellite orbit predictions and many other applications. This talk describes some achievements, anecdotes and lessons learned by developing a variety of software for amateur radio and highlights differences between professional and amateur software development.
