Hi Jim,
I haven't spent much time thinking about this question before, and I
suspect from the lack of response to your query, not many others have,
either. The best I can tell you right now is to take the Wikipedia
approach. That is, find something to start with and move around when
you find something interesting or that needs more explanation.
Probably best to start with reading up on GNU Radio first and see what
doesn't make sense, then try to fill in those holes first.
