[amsat-bb] C*O*N*G*R*A*T*S Bob N4HY

[Tom Clark <w3iwi@xxxxxxxx>]

AMSATer Bob McGwire (N4HY) has some exciting news. This is QSP from the 
SDR Flex Radio Email Reflector. I think you will find the ARRL report to 
be interesting as it includes some news on our SDX (Software Defined 
Xponder) development and the plan we have to have a working Mode-B demo 
at the October meeting in Louisiana.

experiment in 1999 to it's preeminence as one of the best 
receivers in the world in the summer of 2005.

of ANY receiver in comparison with the receivers listed on 
the well-known Sherwood Engineering web page comparisons."
