Stephen,

Somewhat off topic. But if you plan on blogging, or  just sharing your
experiences, and / or project notes on that hackRF. Id be interesting in
reading . . .

My buddy here has been an EE for a long time, and a professional radio
station engineer. But as far as I know hes not worked with SDRs in this
context so much. Anyway, we both have interest in that device of yours . . .
