w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Dayton</st1:City></st1:place> for 4 days and
talked to MANY folks about HPSDR. We got MANY great ideas! Scotty was a phenom setting
up a full setup of SDR-1000 and J/O at every forum as well as the TAPR booth
all weekend! Thanks Scotty! Thanks Dan – N4XWE for the fantastic handout,
and publicity! Thanks Tom – AA8YI for being videographer! Video of all
SDR forums will be presented to Hamsdr as Tom has the opportunity to edit the
video! <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Penelope! She is beautiful! Phil IS a craftsman. Due to early tests, on this
the only one of the first alpha test boards, she will undergo some significant

font-family:Arial'>Sorry for the lack of Teamspeak throughout we tried
everything legal and humanly possible to make it happen! They could provide
hardwire for $150. However that did not even work till Late Saturday morning
due to Technical Difficulties! Tom – AA8YI worked his butt off all the
way up to the owner of HARA Arena! Stayed till 9 p.m. on Thursday chasing down
everyone related to Internet Access! My hat goes off to him and his wife Mary
for efforts ‘above and beyond’. This type effort has been a ‘hallmark’
of HPSDR! Several wireless networks could be seen but not accessed. Even the
Flex Radio Bash at UOD was an Internet Bust! Signal strength was poor and only
port 80 was available. UGGG. I got charged $25 for being 25 lbs overweight on
all the gear I hauled for Teamspeak and speakers etc. I’ll work smarter
next year.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

The speakers did a phenomenal job as did the ‘helpers’! More
details later. Actually more since the speakers and ‘worker bees’
did not get tickets. I know because that was how many prize drawing tickets
were given out and we didn’t miss many!!! That is phenomenal. TAPR filled
the room on their forum on Saturday! Probably 80 – 90 folks!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Phil Harman and I had a meeting with Gerald and Eric from
FlexRadio on Saturday and they confirmed that they will fully support the
Janus/Ozy in their main line SVN for future releases of PowerSDR for the
SDR-1000. Thanks FlexRadio!!! Also approved at the TAPR board of Directors at
the board meeting, that a completely assembled set of Janus/Ozy/Atlas and power
supply would be given to Flex for testing of the releases. Phil Harman, Scotty
and I delivered the board set to Eric of Flex this morning! Thanks TAPR and
also AMSAT for being HPSDR partners! The new Flex-5000 is an extremely well
thought out and produced machine. It will be the standard of SDR and match and
exceed the performance of radios costing thousands more. Supreme craftsmanship
and layout, as one might expect. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
