I know that a large number of apps were developed on Unix/Linux especially the Packet gateways that you use to send packet messages around the world using hamradio only links. I will try to find some links to give you more info. There are tons of directionfinding, propagation and other programs written for Unix as well because it is a more friendly environ for a programmer..
