Hi Glenn!

If you have time, you could come to the meeting this evening at 7PM
(in FAB 155), and perhaps join us for sushi at Sushi Takahashi 2 beforehand.

Hey James,

Now that I have a few more things off my plate, I think it would be a 
good thing for me to get back to the PSAS project. Let's talk, maybe I 
should come to a meeting again too! :) See you at the launch?

Hi folks,

Would anyone be interested in attending the 29th Annual ARRL and TAPR
Digital Communications Conference? It's September 24-26, 2010 here in
Portland, Oregon (well, actually across the river at The Heathman Lodge,
Vancouver, Washington). It's good at an introductory level as well as
technical, demo, and seminar levels.

I'd love to spend a little time this summer getting back into the radio
side of the avionics. I suppose it would help for me to start showing up
at meetings. :-)

With the onboard GPS, telemetry, command, backup command, and ATV, the
unique antenna topologies, power and cost considerations and physical
environment demands, our use of radios in PSAS are unusual and
interesting. The conference topics are a fun match: "Software defined
radio (SDR)..., digital satellite communications, Global Position System
(GPS), precision timing, Automatic Position Reporting System® (APRS),
short messaging (a mode of APRS), Digital Signal Processing (DSP), HF
digital modes, Internet interoperability with amateur radio networks,
spread spectrum, IEEE 802.11 and other Part 15 license-exempt systems
adaptable for Amateur Radio, using TCP/IP networking over amateur radio,
mesh and peer to peer wireless networking, emergency and Homeland
Defense backup digital communications, using Linux in amateur radio,
updates on AX.25 and other wireless networking protocols. (pretty much
verbatim from the webpage but I clipped the one phrase about digital voice).

If we can submit an abstract by July 31st, or two, we could present a
paper as well.

Details are at http://tapr.org/dcc.html - let me know if you're
interested in going. For locals this can be really cheap.

Cheers,
James KN1X

How's them apples? They are adjacent, only overlapping on one day (ION
GNSS 21-24 Sep, DCC 24-26 Sep).

I see ION is professional and $900, a bit steep for me. The cost for DCC
seems to be a secret but it is for people serious about noncommercial
radio experimentation, like us. In 2007 the DCC two-day conference was
$70, so I'm guessing it will be on the rough order of $100. I don't
expect the TAPR folks to respond to my queries until they get back next
week from Dayton Hamvention.

Sweet. That gives me more time to get caught up on work.

Due to other commitments, odds are long I can get to the 5/23 launch,
but you never know, if other things don't happen that weekend it could
become possible for me. I'm snowed under with work right now, but by
mid-June I can probably get back into showing up at meetings.

Cheers,
James

Hi James!

Wow, this is great! Both ION GNSS 2010 *and* DCC are going to be in
Portland this fall. We're just a hotbed of coolness. Let's chat right
after the 5/23 launch about both attending and getting some papers in.
That would be great fun.

And, for the record, yes, you should start showing up again ;)
