The KK7NQN Ham Radio Network is a comprehensive platform designed to modernize amateur radio operations through innovative technology and community building. Our system combines real-time transcription, social networking, and AI-powered insights to create the premier destination for ham radio operators.
Live activity monitoring, system health, and operator analytics with modern visualizations.
Connect with fellow operators, share experiences, and build the ham radio community.
OpenAI integration provides intelligent insights about network activity, operator behavior, and community trends.
Live audio transcription with the TSN (Transcriber Service Node) for accessibility and logging.
Comprehensive operator profiles, activity tracking, and network health monitoring.
Our platform combines multiple technologies to deliver a comprehensive ham radio experience:
| Aspect | Repeater (Main) | TSN (Transcriber) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Operational dashboard for the on‑air node: who’s talking, when, and system health. | Obtain text transcripts only; no RF transmission, no cross‑network voice linking. |
| Audio path | Radio ⇄ Repeater; may link to hubs during nets when appropriate. | Audio in → transcribe→text; no audio out to RF or hubs. |
| Networks | May connect to DoDropIn, Fireside, etc., per schedule/policy. | Intentionally isolated. No links to DoDropIn, Fireside, or other voice hubs. |
| RF transmission | Yes (it’s a repeater). | No RF transmission. Receive→text only. |
| Typical users | Local operators, net participants, visitors checking live status. | Net control teams, researchers, accessibility users, anyone who needs transcripts without RF impact. |
| Primary datasets | callsigns, callsign_log, repeater‑scope transcriptions. |
TSN transcript stream (transcriptions/transcriptions_large) and related metadata. |
| Where to go | kk7nqn.net | kk7nqn.net/transcriber/ |
Both sides share a common data pipeline, but with different roles and policies.

Public, read‑only endpoints exist for both views. Most endpoints also offer CSV or XML variants.
API responses are validated, rate‑limited, and may be cached briefly for performance. All `/api/*` routes ship with X‑Robots‑Tag: noindex, nofollow.
No. TSN is receive→text only. It never keys a transmitter and never links voice to external hubs.
No. TSN is intentionally isolated to avoid adding traffic to those networks. Use the Repeater for normal network participation.
No. They’re best‑effort machine transcriptions and can be wrong. Treat them as helpful notes, not official minutes.
