Our Open Source Digital Radio exhibit at DEFCON 34 was a highlight of the year. Four of us volunteered to present, demonstrate, explain, and teach digital communications through open source work to an enthusiastic and curious crowd of diverse and technically advanced people.
Thank you to Paul Williamson, Michael Easton, and Aaron Olivarez for highly successful Opulent Voice and Haifuraiya live demonstrations, the entire team at RF Village for the space and support, and Pete Wyckoff for EVE signal construction, featured prominently in the Earth-Venus-Earth Village talk at 1500 Friday.
We’ll share more about our experiences here shortly, with discussion on what types of questions and feedback we got, and how the design was received.
Our exhibit was a very large step forward from last year, and a significant step forward from our Friedrichshafen HAMRADIO show presentation, which was just last month.
In the near future, we’ll be porting the Haifuraiya design to a radiation tolerant FGPA part, and deploying a terrestrial repeater in Southern California.
More soon!
