CLUSTER RADIO-AMATEUR-CHAT · 4 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-06-25
Amateur radio text messaging tools
These products enable text-based messaging for amateur radio operators, covering HF, VHF, and UHF bands and including a WebSocket bridge agent. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, with only three dated entries before the index start. Traction is minimal, with the top activity signals (varac-bin, kst4contest, kel-agent) each showing zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
Members by activity
Activity signals, not revenue.
Build origin · 1 hand-coded · 3 unlabelled

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 4 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
