First, really too bad you can't make it this year, and we appreciate the hams that are building cool stuff with GNU Radio. However, I wanted to point out that while many of us /have/ an amateur license and call sign, there's a different question of how many really operate at hams? I think that second number in our project is significantly lower.

This isn't meant to discourage anyone here. I just thought that should be more clear.

I've been licensed as VE3MDL since 1986.  But I haven't really been an active ham-radio operator for several years.  I've used the
  skills I learned as a ham-radio guy to help me design and build better scientific instrumentation, particularly for radio astronomy.
