[Elecraft] Camping radio ops: then and now

[Matt Maguire]

Source code is too low level to get a conceptual understanding of what the software is doing -- a software architecture diagram is likely to be more useful for that. (in a similar way, for hardware a schematic diagram abstracts out implementation details such as PCB layout and track routing to make it clearer how the circuit works at a conceptual level).

These days, the source code matters as much as the schematic. Want to find the Weaver SSB demodulator? That is in software.

Power was from a military surplus 120 vac 300 watt generator (run only if no body was camped nearby).

(Most of the areas my family had camped years earlier had become the Buffalo National River.  I return there every Fall that circumstances allow.)  This type of ham operations will always be my favorite use of radio.
