VK7AAL - Amateur Radio, Radio Scanning and Software Development

Welcome to VK7AAL, a personal radio blog exploring radio scanning, monitoring and amateur radio from Launceston Tasmania. This site documents what I hear, test, and learn across the VHF and UHF bands, with a focus on receivers, antennas, low-cost experiments and the home of VK7AALDB. All content reflects my personal interests and monitoring. This is shared for hobby, learning, and technical curiosity purposes only.
