Beam Steering on 160 Meters

The link below was my presentation at the Contest Forum at the 2008 Dayton Hamvention. I will be adding material to these slides as I translate my frequent hand-waving into additional text.

The following links are my soapbox comments from a sequence of 160 meter contests during the 2007-2008 season. These comments represent a sort of development log for my phased array.

Hardware for Software Radio

I've designed a circuit board for 4 Softrock v6.2 receivers in parallel to facilitate phased antenna studies. The board eliminates the redundant oscillators and divider chains one would have using 4 original Softrock boards.
