Hello all,

2 weeks ago I tried an experiment: drive around the MS Ride route with one
of those $20 dongles, a GPS, and an old computer, and see what I can get.
Many thanks go out to Frank (KB1QZH), Paul (WB2JVB) and Jon (WB2RYV) for
their help. Special thanks go to my friend Matt (not a ham...yet), for
spending about 6 hours helping to adapt the original code written by
Alexander Nikolaev, as well as teaching me how it all works.

This is a work in progress, and unfortunately not all of the data collected
was usable. The slider at the bottom chooses between the Wilton, Danbury,
and New Milford repeaters (in that order). The slider on the right scrolls
through time.

Before people tell me "this is broken", I'm aware the displayed frequencies
are wrong, and the band display is incorrect. I'm working on that. I'm also
working on incorporating the Stamford DMR into this, but since we won't be
using it for the MS Ride it wasn't a priority.
