Talking M17 with SP5WWP

Interview with SP5WWP of the M17 project
Today I talk with Wojciech Kaczmarski, SP5WWP, founder and lead developer of the M17 project. We talk about his introduction to ham radio, why he created M17 and how to get started with it.
M17 is generously funded by a grant from ARDC. Find out more at ardc.net/

Thank BOTH of you

Thank you for this. My biggest gripe with Digital Modes is that they're not intuitive and they're overly complicated for the average person to get into and talking to many other people,I'm not alone. Having a simple to understand format, without having to update and reload call signs either on your radio or put it on a seperate website makes a whole lot of sense to me. Hopefully this will continue to mature and take off. Thanks again for this interview KN4MXZ 73's

I’m going to be doing some stuff with it. Stay tuned.

[@batoniarz]

We take this very seriously, so expect only quality ham-tailored solutions from our side. We'll be back with more good news soon.
