[MNham] Next Packet & Radio Workshop Sunday July 8.

[WE0H]

I bought a Version 5 Softrock a while back. It is still in a kit. I did 
build a DDS-60 when that came out. Haven't wired it to a controller yet 
but the board is complete. Super busy working on a 505-510kc station 
here as I am on the ARRL Part 5 experimental license for 600 meters. 
Verifying a board layout for an improved transverter and gonna have to 
do the iron on process yet tonight so I can etch a board in the morning.

What's new in the Version 6 Softrock? I haven't even looked at any of it 
until a couple days ago. Been so busy with the 600 meter station.

Are you going to listen for the SAQ signal on July 1st? 17.2kc CW? I 
have seen the signal before but couldn't hear it. I believe I was using 
SpecLab and a direct connection antenna to mic jack.
