Gearing up for #IEEE #IWRC2023 in Little Rock, AR, USA 11-18 September 2023.

Goal is to represent #opensource #digital #radio including #hamradio in #CHIPS act development in underrepresented parts of the US.

Tall order, but we have skin in the game here with human resources and a nice Open Source Remote Lab. Thank you to @OpenResearchIns for all the support and development so far.

Looking forward to reporting on all the things we learn and where we can fit in to advance the radio arts.

I've been working on #CHIPS act stuff for several months, leading up to the #IWRC2023 conference.

It's a mess. Without any plan for spending the money, it's going to be gobbled up by universities and existing programs, most of which have nothing to do with semiconductors.

This is how it goes when you don't target the money or put in controls for how it's spent. There are people whose entire careers are devoted to grab any public money for their pet projects or employer.
