Short description
The Airwaves Social mastodon server is radio hobby & industry focused on topics such as flight & ship tracking, amateur radio, satellites, and more.

Sponsored by Airframes, but an effort for all.
Long description
Airwaves Social is a community of radio-related hobbyists & industry participants with sub-niches such as:

  • Flight Tracking & Decoding (ADS-B, ACARS, VDL, etc)
  • Amateur Radio
  • Scanners
  • Satellite Tracking & Decoding (CubeSats, AMsats, WX/weather, Iridium, etc)
  • FM/AM/RDS Broadcasting
  • SDR programs

and just about everything else on the airwaves.

Currently Airwaves Social is entirely funded by Airframes, but the intention is to support the broader radio community and accept all who wish to be here. Airframes is currently working on Airwaves OS, an open-source radio-focused appliance operation system for easily setting up decoders, visualizing locally, feeding, and beyond.

Have questions? DM to @kevin@airwaves.social if you can help.
