[hpsdr] Where do I watch for Minerva/DFC [Solved]

[Jeff]

I personally believe that the Radio Amateur and Opensource Spirit demonstrated
by Phil’s work on Minerva and Warren's work on Puresignal and John’s work on linux,
to name a few, is at an all time high!

BTW, you know you can buy a radio board from Apache Labs and build your own system?
