For those of you who are interested in the "bleeding edge"
of Ham Radio, please take a look at the G3UKB Software
Defined Radio console written in an object oriented
computer language named Squeak.
I want to call attention to the amazing work that Bob
Cowdery G3UKB is doing. Please visit his pages often to
see the progress he is making
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/g3ukb/
Bob demonstrates the challenge he faces by showing us his
approach which is both rigorous and disciplined in
addition to being very advanced in both techniques and tools.
He has used the latest-and-greatest design technique
called UML (Universal Modeling Language) and included
preliminary diagrams to show us how it looks. Is this
"software soldering"?
His most recent screen shot is an example of MixW on a
dual-watch design

I marvel at how Ham Radio has evolved from the skilled
operation of lathes and metal bending brakes, to artistic
skills in graphics design interwoven with logical skills
in computer languages like Squeak :-) I hope that you too
share the wonder of our hobby in the digital age.
[try to explain this at your next Club meeting! - hihihihihi]
