I'm interested in AI applications as applied to Ham Radio. Specifically, I'm interested in which manufacturers have or will soon have advanced capabilities in their kit. These capabilities can be any of the following:
Signal classification and recognition: My interest is in advanced kit that automatically identifies and filters unwanted signals above and beyond current DSP capabilities. My major interest in this area is for automated logging and reporting of contacts.
Antenna design and optimization: AI can be used to analyze complex antenna designs and optimize their performance for specific operating conditions. Are any manufacturers actually doing this? What products are available now or in the near future? I'm gearing up to buy some new kit and want to experiment with the cutting edge.
Propagation prediction: AI can be used to predict radio propagation conditions based on historical data and real-time weather and solar activity information. From an efficiency perspective, I'm interested in optimizing operating frequencies and antenna configurations.
Automatic speech recognition and translation: AI-powered speech recognition technology can be used to transcribe and translate voice communications in real-time. As an operator, I'd like to be able to communicate across language barriers.
Contesting and DXing: AI algorithms can be used to optimize operating strategies for contesting and DXing, including automated station optimization, band selection, and frequency tuning. I'm not as interested in this area but want to understand "possibilities".
Other? What's out there that's not on my radar yet?
Probably Ukraine startups because of their lack of constraints due to being in "survival mode". If their breakthroughs in Drone tech are any indicator.
