But, I am not using a pi. I am trying to accomplish this with a Motorola Xoom MZ601. James Burke: Connections Connections explores an Alternative View of Change (the subtitle of the series) that rejects the conventional linear and teleological view of historical progress. Burke contends that one cannot consider the development of any particular piece of the modern world in isolation. Rather, the entire gestalt of the modern world is the result of a web of interconnected events, each one consisting of a person or group acting for reasons of their own (e.g., profit, curiosity, religious) motivations with no concept of the final, modern result of what either their or their contemporaries' actions finally led to. The interplay of the results of these isolated events is what drives history and innovation, and is also the main focus of the series and its sequels.
K1GTO: Compiling GNURadio on the Raspberry Pi (Raspi) I've been meaning to post this for a few weeks so today I'm going to jot down just the most pertinent information, in hopes that someone may benefit from what I learned. So a few weeks ago I set out to compile Gnuradio on my Raspberry Pi. It took a lot of digging (googling) but thanks to many users who encountered similar challenges, I was able to piece together the recipe below, that should result in a compiled gnu radio installation. Although Patch VonBraun's GNURadio build script didn't do the trick, I used it for reference when coming up with the following steps. In the following section, lines starting with "#" should be executed as the root user. Lines starting with "$" may be executed as your favorite raspberry pi user.
Backtrack-Download BackTrack 5 comes in several flavours and architectures. The following page will help you choose the right version for you.

AIS – The Comprehensive GNU Radio Archive Network (CGRAN) Contributors: Nick Foster External Site: Project Root: Grounding and Bonding for the Amateur Size of Grounding Conductors On page 3.11, the statement "The ground conductor must be at least as large as the current-carrying conductors..." is a good guideline but the actual wording of NEC Article 250.122 is that "the ground conductor can not be required to be larger than the current-carrying conductors." (Other ground conductor sizing rules are also given for situations unlikely to apply to amateur stations.)
QRP ARCI - Awards The QRP Amateur Radio Club International 'Elmer Award' may be submitted by any QRPARCI member for someone who has helped them along their amateur radio journey. Traditionally Elmers were probably defined as someone, usually an older ham, who provided a helping hand and guidance for someone, usually younger, entering the ham radio community. In today's fast paced, ever changing world of technology, communication advances, and the advancing age of many hams the Elmer can be viewed from a different perspective. Being licensed for many years, often decades, the tables can get reversed and it becomes the new, often much younger, ham who is performing the role of the Elmer by helping the more senior ham with guidance in new modes of communications and teaching some of the new technologies. The more senior ham may need help with antenna work or other station needs and the ham who once was considered an Elmer now is in need of the services they once provided.
