[Phil Harman]

All,

I'm very pleased to advise that Alex, VE3NEA, has decided to assist with the 
further development of the Hermes code.  We have been using some of his 
previous FPGA code in Mercury and it's a great pleasure to welcome him back 
to the HPSDR project.

Alex has already implemented 7 fully independent receivers in Hermes.  I've 
been able to test the first 4 of these using Hermann, DL3HVH,  cuSDR PC 
software and they work spectacularly well.

Always willing to take up a  challenge, Alex has decided to optimise the 
networking code in order to try and fit yet more receivers into the Hermes 
FPGA!

He also indicated that later on he will add CW Skimmer and Server support 
for Hermes.

Having so many receivers, and bandscopes, is going to tax the performance of 
the associated PC.  In which case the work that Hermann is doing using 
OpenCL kernels is going to be very important.

We are indeed fortunate to have such talented contributors as part of the 
HPSDR group.
