Dear QRPopsters:



I'm introducing Ward Harriman, AE6TY, to the group.?? If his name is familiar it

may be because you have read his three-part article in QRP Quarterly, "Making a

Software-Defined Radio for the QRP Enthusiast."?? The final installment is in the

current issue.



Ward also enjoys tinkering with antennas and other QRP equipment.?? He's only

been a ham for a few years but he is clearly making up for lost time.??

Ward,

Great articles on SDR. I would love to talk to you about your project. I have a Tony Parks SDR receiver that I have been experimenting with using a E-MU sound card and Rocky software. It would be interesting to see if a portable QRP rig could be built using a DSP chip and a small uP, a la NUE-PSK modem but with SSB and other modes.

Some of you may have already seen this.

Hiro, Anke and I would love to come by. We will get there around 12:30 or 1. I will bring my Tony Parks receiver for everybody to take a look at. Get your Illy vertical out that will really impress the wife. I have been replacing a roof-deck on the house which turned out to be a lot bigger project than I thought, so QRP has been on the back burner for the last month. I think I should have the thing back together by the end of September. Maybe I will see you at AMTECH today.

Hi Folks,

Wanted to introduce Bryan, N6IZP, who joined our Group today. I copied his last email to me to give you an idea of what Bryan is up to:

Hello Tim,

I am travelling next week but would like to join you guys the next time. I went out this morning with a few hams to build and test a 40 m delta loop antenna. I'm using a painter's pole, twin led TV cable and some guy wires along with my 817. It was simple and fast to make, setup, test and bring down. I'll take the setup on my trip next week and try a little QRP by myself (for the first time). Maybe I'll see you at Am-Tech tomorrow. If you see me, please re-introduce yourself.

Thanks,
Bryan
