Amateur radio software for the BBC Micro

I am compiling a repository of amateur radio software that was available for the BBC Micro range of computers. Most of the software here is archived from floppy disks in my collection.

Extract from the readme file :-

This programme is for the BBC/B and Master computers. As you are no doubt
aware the Memory space on an Acorn machine is, to say the least,
restricted. This programe is split over 2 seperate programes and requires
PAGE to be at &1900 or lower. (&E00 on the Master). In the event of a "no
room" error, check any Rom's fitted to your Machine to ensure that they
do not claim workspace, thereby raising PAGE. These programmes have been
fully tested on a Standard BBC/B with Acorn and Watford DFS, and on a
Standard Master. No problems were encountered.
