TAPR[1] has announced the presentations for its Dayton Hamvention[2]? Digital
Forum, moderated by Scotty Cowling, WA2DFI, on Friday, May 20, at 9:15 AM.
Among the presentions will be "SatNOGS - A network of open source satellite
ground stations," by Corey Shields, KB9JHU. CubeSat operators tend to have few
ground stations of their own and rely on radio amateurs to help collect
telemetry. The SatNOGS Project is a Network of Open Source Satellite Ground
Stations, focusing on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Shields will introduce
SatNOGS as a way to increase the amount of data collected and reported from
these CubeSats.
Bryan Fields, W9CR, will present "HamWAN High-Speed IP Radio Network," an
Amateur Radio high-speed IP backbone concept that uses the same techniques
enabling the Internet.
The topic of a presentation by Chris Testa, KD2BMH, will be "SDR Disrupt." It
will review the landscape and advancements in SDR technologies over the past
year, as numerous technologies are driving the power-price-performance curve to
a new level of efficiency. Latest developments in digital voice will also be
discussed.
"Spectrum Monitoring with Software Defined Radio," by Mike Ossmann, AD0NR, will
follow.
