It's time to wrap up the summer. So, what happened in the last 2 months? Let's check it out together.
Radio meetup in Holice, Czechia
Once again, we attended the annual ham radio meetup in Holice, Czech Republic. Our focus was on promoting the community and showcasing FM-DX Webserver. The event was a great success, and we're already looking forward to returning next year.

Milestone giveaway results
Another highlight was the latest community giveaway featuring Sjef Verhoeven's newest project, the Headless TEF Lite, along with several Supporter Tags.
The Headless TEF Lite is a more compact and affordable version of the Headless TEF, offering fully digital audio output and a single antenna connector.
To enter, participants shared posts featuring the weirdest and most unique devices running FM-DX Webserver.
The competition was close, and we really enjoyed your submissions. Congratulations to all the winners who have been mentioned on Discord!

FM DX Webserver
FM-DX Webserver received multiple updates since the last newsletter including many fixes provided by our community members, which should result in better performance, security and reliability.
ESP32 TEF Firmware
Sjef's ESP32 firmware received multiple RDS-related updates, which are very useful for transmitter engineers. On top of that, language packs have been updated, and many minor bugs were fixed.
You can download the latest beta firmware on our Discord server.
What's coming in the future?
Even though there was a delay due to the summer hiatus, as we were are all busy with private life, we are trying to stick to the projects on the timeline.
On top of that, we are planning to provide more tunnel servers for our supporters to ensure the best possible performance in different regions.
If you have any feedback (positive or negative), please let us know through our Discord server or via e-mail to founders! And as per usual, see you next month.
