Excellent Jack. Does the book point out which projects have a PCB available?

They have not given us a hard publication date, but they have the entire manuscript. They said they have to redo their License Manual material first. We asked if it would be ready for Hamvention and they seem to think it will not, which is a huge disappointment to us. Still, it should be late 2nd quarter of early 3rd quarter. (Maybe if two or three thousand people bugged them about it...:>)? ) Also, we will be selling PCB's for most of the projects (some are too simple to warrant a PCB). I'm sure the ARRL will announce when it's ready. There is an article on the mag loop that we built the controller for:
coming out in the Feb. issue of Rad Com. The loop is 3' in diameter and we field tested it at Field Day using a 100' control cable and it worked perfectly. It covers 40, 30, and 20M with an SWR less than 1.2:1.0, but most of our contacts were on 40M. We have over 10,000 WSPR contacts, too, and have studied those intensively. Our thinking was that loop construction would be covered in Rad Com, and the controller in the book, giving them time to build the loop before the controller. (You could use the loop without the controller, but that's a PITA.) We tried to get the article in QST, but, sadly,? they said they had too many mag loop articles.
I'll keep the group posted.

We already have a pre- and post-processor system coming out soon. They are part of the new Projects book that is being published by the ARRL. These are the projects in the new book:

Jim, glad to see CAT is supported (a requirement for me!).? Does this (re-)release of the Teensy 4 adaptor support v5 as well?? I thought from reading the TSW website that the answer is yes, but wanted to verify.? I see a lot of talk about v6, but I've got a v5...
Still percolating in my mind how I'm going to play with the Teensy audio board on this... :-)
