Russ Woodman

Linux in the Ham Shack is a technical media project hosted by Russ Woodman (K5TUX) and Cheryl Watson (W5DEW) that bridges the gap between the Linux operating system and the amateur radio hobby. The duo produces the long-running Deep Dive series, where they provide instructional demonstrations of software such as SDR++ and specific distributions like CachyOS or Ubuntu. Their recent Xenia Bound series showcases their commitment to exploring emerging open-source technologies for the ham radio community. Woodman and Watson are frequent contributors to major industry events, appearing as panelists at the Dayton Hamvention and the Texas Linux Fest to advocate for open-source standards. Using professional-grade studio production for their weekly Weekender episodes, they offer a mix of hobbyist news and technical advocacy. Their content serves as a primary educational resource for operators transitioning away from proprietary software toward tools that align with the General Public License ethics.
