Hello

A few days ago I mentioned an idea for starting a separate discussion group for

home-brew ham radio test equipment.? The idea still seems interesting but I seem

to be struggling with what to call the group.? It needs to be short enough to type in

easily, and still definitive enough to not be confused with equipment for testing

pigs or homemade beer,? Some possible options that come to mind:

• ??? (probably too long)
• ? (Home Brew Test Equipment)
• or....?
  

There are probably a myriad of better names.? Any ideas?

My Linux NFS File Server has a Test Equipment directory that already has
several ideas which could be used as a start for this new discussion group.

I am sure that others have similar card files or computer files which would be

interesting to the rest of us who like building our own test equipment.? This

does raise questions about how to differentiate hardware test equipment
projects from combination hardware and software based test equipment?

On a slightly different direction........

In the past there have been a few complaints about the amount of software

discussion here on the BITX20 forum.? That raises the question of possibly

starting a separate discussion group specifically for software that is relative

to BITX based equipment.? Again, if such a forum were established, what

should it be called?

• groups/g/BSoft
• or...?
  

In the case of Homebrew Test Equipment and a possible new BITX-Software

group we would need a couple of volunteer moderators for each group.

We already have spawned an Antenna discussion group at

which is working quite well.? The moderators are doing a good job and some

interesting discussion has started.

I can start new discussion groups, but it is possible that someone else could do
the same.? The process involves logging into the "create a group" page and

filling out the form.? The process is quite easy and straightforward.

It will not hurt my feelings if you want to start one of the above groups, or another

group.? If you have ever envisioned yourself as being the Lord and King of a

discussion group...Go For It !
