Re: [amsat-bb] USB-tracking

["Gary \"Joe\" Mayfield" <gary_mayfield@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the consensus?  Developing a USB tracker/tuner might make a nice
winter project here in South Dakota.  Is anyone interested in a combined
development project.   I would be willing to pitch in.  We will need people
to test configurations, and layout a board (I could take on a prototype
point to point).  I couldn't get started seriously until October or so, but
then I could put some time in on it.

All proceeds would need to go to AMSAT of course.

Would it be worth our while?  Anyone want to be on the team?

73,
Joe
