I decided to do a monthly blog entries from now on, as it makes more sense to me.

This month was probably one of the busiest one in my recent past, yet it was one of the most productive one. I created the packages from GNU Radio, experimented with different stuff. Everytime I encountered problems, I had to go and delve into books, study the old graduate class stuff again and come back to my programs. It was fun stuff and at the end I am seeing good results.

I believe, SDR is going to get more people into Amateur Radio. It will foster the idea of homebrewing and experimentation back into the hobby.

I finally got the copyright assignment documents ready from me and my employer to the FSF (for gnuradio) and sent it to the FSF office. This is my second contribution to a GNU project.

There is no progress in my amateur radio license front. The only option infront of me seem to be migrating to a different country and I have started working on that! I do not hope that Govt of India will wake up on the issue some day. They have other important clients in the cellular business where millions of rupees are changing hands. Who is bothered about this non-commercial amateur radio?

This month, the government finally opened up the domain name registration and people started registering all kinds of domainnames. I helped transfer debian.org.in into SPI, registered the domain arsi.org.in for the Amateur Radio Society of India and radio.net.in for myself.
