On2013 August 24 this became the legacy page. It is no longer the active page of my core amateur radio focus.
In December 2012, the page looked like it does below, I just moved itverbatim; there's a lot of detailed reporting work in there that's allreal. Sometime late in that month, just before the New Year, Ispent a weekend getting the serial port working between the DSP-10 anda Keyspan USB adapter to the Mac, with some software that I got fromthe internet to begin to run it. This was the first step towardswriting my own software on both the host (Mac) and radio (DSP-10)ends. Well, the second step. As you can see here, I spentmuch of 2009 learning enough Cocoa and Objective-C to feel that I coulddo the Mac end of the programming. I got that serial source codeoff the web, realizing that I would not want to put forth the effort toreally understand how to do it from scratch for myself.
In early January 2013 I planned out some more steps. Then Ilooked at my plan. It didn't look like much fun. I boughtan Arduino to be the serial interface then realized I didn't need aserial interface in the middle of a serial interface. Playingwith the Arduino was fun,however and I hope to find more uses for little boxes like that.
Getting serial ports working was never fun and nothing about moderncomputing wants to help you. But there was the DSP-10 with aserial port. There is no doubt that I have the experience andskill to ultimately accomplish my goal - build my own DSP-10 userinterface on a Mac, write an AD 2181 assembler and take over theEZ-LITE end of the code, understand all the hardware and software tothe nth degree, do a good job of architecting anddocumenting, and ultimately get up to the starting line for what Ireally wanted to be doing with this equipment. Yeah, what wasthat goal again?
At that point I'd been on this project for 13 years, or 40, dependingon how you counted it. (See the preamble to PhaseOne.) I was 56 and the long term plan was beginning tocontemplate retirement and a move to a different location. I havethree unbuilt DSP-10 kits under my bench, each would take 50 hours tocomplete but all of their technology is 1990s, you can't get the partsanymore, and despite an occasional surge of some kind of activity,there really hasn't been a whole lot going on in the development groupfor some years. There was a lot of potential and possibilityhere, but I am not going to live long enough to do much of what I'msetting up here to do, if I live long enough to get to the startingline in the first place.
On 2013 February 12 I took out my three lists: 'Old Closure List20%', 'Utility List 30%', and 'BWT List 50%' and looked overthem. I spent a couple of hours bringing my accounting list up todate. It showed that between 2009 January 1 and 2013 February 12I had spend 976.9 hours and $12,468 on amatuer radio. That was237.6 hours and $3031.83 per year. Of that, 47% was 'movingfoward (BWT)', 31% was 'utility/maintenance' and 22% was 'operating',not too bad against the 50/30/20 goal. It was the end of a longevening. I decided that I'd spent too much time keepingrecordsagain and not enough doing something. I decided thatnothing I was looking at in the near term lists looked like anyfun. I decided that I was not anywhere close to participating inthe parts of the avocation that I wanted to be participating in. I decided that I was not going to keep the self accounting systemanymore (I spent 346.8 hours and $2410 getting myself on 23 cm) and Iwrote on all those multi-page lists: 'Abandon in place, subsume'and 'Obsolete' and 'Not doing any of this - Archived.'
This crises was not unlike the one that occurred when I left AMSAT-NAleadership in 1991. I remember that day in April or so that yearwhen I made up an 8 x 8 matrix of everything my life consisted of andworked out all 64 co-influences and discovered that AMSAT officialdomwas a negative influence on all eightof them, including itself!
Indeed, what am I trying todo here? What am I reallytrying to do here? What am I doinghere as opposed to what I think
Dsp Radio For Mac Download
I'm doing here?All good questions. I've gone decades thinking I've known theanswers. Now I don't.
Disoriented and anchorless, I realized immediately that there would beno quick answer to this, no quick turn to some obvious newdirection. I would need to stand down and think for a time,perhaps a year or more.
At the same time the JPL ARC crashed. Our 445.2 / 224.08repeater, to which we'd had no dependable site access for some years,went off the air mysteriously. It was a crises. Havingbuilt up remarkable capabilities since the 1970s: sevenrepeaters, two well equipped shacks, an EmComm van, and countlessequipment in storage, suddenly nothing was on the air. The clubhad not met regularly for years, the president of record had been laidoff, another key member was in the hospital long term, and now all theequipment was down. A group of a dozen concerned core members metone noon and decided to organize themselves and put things back ontrack.
Back home, I realized that I had several kits: test equipment,assessories, even a new radio, that I'd not gotten to or even readabout. I listed and prioritized these. The San Onofrenuclear power plant nearby starting into decomissioning, by early JuneI had my ElektorImproved Radiation Meter built and working, but not workingright. Then I realized I was still spinning my wheels, with evenless focus.
We drove off to John's graduation from Baylor and on the way out andback discussed many things, among them this. The JPL ARC and the SBMS were pulling andpushing me to do many things and offering many opportunities. Howshould I respond?
Then the ARRL June VHF came up and I put in a fairly common, nominaleffort, a couple dozen contacts from the home station, just on an 'asavailable' basis while I was doing other things. Then, realizingwhat I was missing out on, I realized what I should do for the interimyear while I was 'thinking about it.' I should focus on a nice,full-bore-style camp-out event for the June 2014 June VHFContest. And all the events between then and now could be used asintermediate deadlines to get various preparations done. This hasalready had unexpected side effects. I've built up thatHamtronics LP4-30 (in LP4-35 mode) that I've had in my desk drawer for30 years for the August UHF contest, and it worked the firsttime! I'm on 432 with a nice new M^2 440-18 yagi, something thathad been a 'next stretch goal' with the DSP-10 from the beginning,either a transverter or a 70 cm DSP-10 build. Now I'm just thereand not thinking about building up that capability from scratch justfor the self-education of it any longer. That amplifier wouldhave been the last step of my evolution to 70 cm. Now it hasbecome the only step and,ironically, has finally gotten built at all!
Yes, it seems like cheating to just have a rig that does it. Theold goals are still well ingrained.
So I'm in an interim and on the way. I'm glad I built the DSP-10and learned what I learned in the process. I may yet buildanother one, that remains to be determined. I'm glad I did what Idid (despite the bending of the rules that it took) and learned what Ilearned, but there is a lot to be worked out. Maybe I will haveto have a PC in the shack after all. Maybe I will have to do allmy work at audio. (Well, the DSP-10 does it at 10-20 KHz, whichis barely 'super-audio' so it's not really all that different.) Idon't know. Today it's mostly questions.
But here are some hints:
What do I want to be doing? Space Radio. Exploring the next20-30 dB into the noise. Those are still true.
Space Radio means moonbounce and meteors, not so much satellitesalthough I'll play around a little when I'm equipped again.
Getting into the noise has already been done, I just need to join thecommunity and figure out where I can do. There are local SBMSmembers who are already doing things but I want to find a way tocontribute in the software, maybe to extend capabilities.
Apart from big goals, what do I enjoy doing in the moment? Getting things to work: hardware, operation, software, even teams.
All I ever wanted was an architecture that brought those goals andactivities together into a coherent, long term but ultimatelyachievable (in a lifetime) plan. Everything was there but theachievability. Once again I'm going to have to raise the barhigher, cut out more stuff that's peripheral.
I'm not a 'muster and deploy' type. That means I'll probably takeformal EmComm all the way off the list. Not that I was getting toit anyway.
The utility category always felt like cheating, not being 'every chipevery bit.' Like I was as capable on my own as the electronicsindustry of Japan!
That 'utility' category included putting ~$2500 of equipment in my newtruck in early 2010. I use that a lot. Not that there'sanyone on HF to talk to.
There will no longer be a utility category (but see the old linkbelow). It's all radio. I spent a lot of time and money in 'utility.' That means I alwaysknew this.

Principles
- BWT = Barely Works Technology. We're doing stuff here that'barely works.'
- Build rather than buywhen there's something to be learned, in depth. 'Build' can meananythingfrom Heathkit (we all wish!) to self design, etching, andscrounging.
- Narrowband rocks! Everything about narrowband is easier for theexperimenter.
- It's the journey and thedestination.
- Narrowband rocks! Everything about narrowband is easier for theexperimenter.
- Sometimes buy, sometimes build. I used to build everything soI'd know intimately about it but I've found that life is too short toknow intimately about everything.
