See how some of the #opensource #hamradio sausage is made! :)

First of a series of videos about the #Neptune project has been released. This series shows how #MATLAB #HDL Coder is used to create #opensource #FPGA designs.

Happy Solstice and Holiday Season to all!

We closed our #RFBitBanger Solstice Special with 36 kits that will go out as soon as we can kit them up.

64 kits will be available on the Open Research Institute (nonprofit 501(c)(3)) eBay store in January 2024 for $175, shipping calculated separately.

Thank you for helping support #opensource HF QRP digital kits. CSO folks have given great advice and encouragement.

Video recording of this week's meetup about #Haifuraiya progress is below. This #opensource microwave broadband multiple access transponder has space and terrestrial applications.

Prototype works on the #hamradio microwave bands.

Thank you to Analog Devices and AMD for the support this week.

Updated our video lineup at ORI with the #RFBitBanger video presentation that describes the kit and the SCAMP #hamradio #opensource protocol.

HamCation 2023: Call for Open Research Institute Volunteers (booth/housing provided)

Please find details at

https://www.openresearch.institute/2023/01/05/hamcation-2023-call-for-volunteers-booth-housing-provided/

Spread the word - we’re here to help #opensource projects in #digital #communcations and #hamradio, with an emphasis on #amateur #satellite.

Photo of our booth at #HamCation in 2022. Thank you to Paul KB5MU for being one of many volunteers that made it a successful year.

The No Signal dress, worn to the final #FCC Technological Advisory Council meeting of 2022.

It was an honor to represent #opensource on behalf of Open Research Institute on the AI/ML Working Group.

#AmateurRadio

If you are interested in “sticking up for#amateurradio and #opensource at the FCC”, then you can make a positive difference in the US regulatory process. This is much more involved than filing a comment or complaining on social media. It is a significant commitment of time and effort.

Please get in touch and I will do all I can to support your application to groups like the FCC TAC. *You* can shape the future success of open source and the amateur radio services that we care so much about.

Greetings all,

The final Technological Advisory Committee Meeting of 2022 for the Federal Communications Commission will be held 8 December.

My non-profit ORI was a member of the TAC for 2022, contributed to several reports, and will be represented in person (by me!) at the closing meeting.

We've advocated for #opensource and the #amateurradio service.

If you're into #opensource #satellite #communications, then we have a meetup every week at about the #fpga work required at about this time every Tuesday at Open Research Institute.

https://openresearch.institute/getting-started

You can find all the previous recordings of that meeting in the Weekly Reports section at https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCMog2ftoC7zfXbvi5ztUK4w/playlists

We have other presentations and projects, all open source and mostly on the #hamradio bands.

Synthesis passing for an #opensource #fpga communications system on the microwave bands. Learning a lot all at once, as usual, about modern communications systems and how open source designs differ from closed source designs.

I do #opensource work for #microwave band digital communications at the non-profit research institute https://openresearch.institute.

Implementations are on amateur radio bands but can be extended to other allocations.

Thank you for everyone here that has been so supportive and helpful.
