[McHUG] Mason Dixon Hamfest Update

[Pat Kilroy]

Hello Rich, Steve, and others,

Ouch!  I have a conflict with our Mason-Dixon Hamfest 
weekend.  I have supersaver flight tickets to the 
AMSAT-NA annual meeting in Atlanta.  I can't believe 
I overlooked the overlap!!!!  I ought to go with the 
Atlanta trip or else the expense will look bad with 
the YF.  Even so, ...

See you at the CCARC meeting tonight if I can break 
away from the honey-do's.

I currently have on hand 9 BBB Rev Ds in addition to the one I want to solder up - so we should have about 24 for the seminar.  We should  be able to give one to anyone who doesn't have one.

Maybe I should get a dozen or two LEDs with resistor from Anderson so people can do blink.  They will be able to do serial communication directly to the IDE.

> Steve, would you explain and demo your CW receive program so attendees have an idea of where you can go with micro controllers and ham radio.  Pat, I think we should present something about PICetSat since that sure is a ham application of a microcontroller, and could easily be implemented in the Arduino.  Pete, anything you have to demo would be welcome.  I'm thinking about trying to turn some of your CW send code into an Arduino library, if I get a chance.  If anybody else has microcontroller projects they'd like to demo, let me know.
