TEF Webserver Mods

Your TEF Webserver is a pretty cool thing when you first download it, but there's a large number of plugins avilable that will help make it even more enjoyable to use.

Sometimes I go to other people's webservers to see what's on the air there and also to see how they have their servers configured. Recently I wandered over to a webserver in Texas and found some plugins that I didn't know about. Then I went to the Open Radio Discord server and found two of the plugins I found most interesting. I added them and the result is below.

I added a spectrum graph to my webserver and a "more info" button. These are at the top of the server window. The spectrum graph can be enabled or disabled by clicking the button. The colors remind me of how I had the graph set up on SDR Console, when I used console. The spectrum can be refreshed by pressing a button. The More Info button tells you a little more about where I live and what I'm using as a server (Hint: nothing special).

Some other plugins used on the server are the PI Decode, the horizontal S-meter and the Station Logo box. They were downloaded from GitHub and installed in the Plugins folder of the webserver.

Backyard Antennas

aps13.jpg, Mar 2022

This is what I use for an FM antenna. It's a ten element yagi, and probably one of its kind. It started out as an APS-13, made by Antenna Performance Specialists somewhere in the 80s. It had thirteen elements and it was a monster. It stayed on my roof for years until, one winter, an ice storm bent  […]
