So I’ve been working on a project for some time to model from the WSPR dataset. And that’s a long time in the making, and probably still will be. But I realised given all of the Maidenhead processing involved in it, I had a bit of an opportunity: Instead of just embedding a ton of Maidenhead processing in the overall program, I could refactor it into a library/utility.
So I went on my side-quest and finally reached the point of having what I think is a viable release candidate.
It has both Python API and CLI support - so theoretically it can interface with any program of any language that can invoke command line interface commands and receive the output, not just Python.
It supports both scalar (single data) and bulk/vector (many data) input paths, including through numpy to accelerate the vector paths.
Overall it’s oriented towards geodesy and data analytics but I hope there’s some use people out there can also get from it. As it’s currently a release candidate I’d appreciate any independent testing and feedback on the project. It’s licensed under the LGPL so please feel free to use it in whatever you might have use for it, or modify it.
If you do find some usefulness in it, please let me know! And please pass it along if you know someone who might have some use for it.
If there’s demand for a utility like this I might re-implement it in C/C++ down the line.
