Im not a presenter on Episode #362 of the ICQPodcast, but this episodes
feature is my interview of ARDCÂ Executive Director Rosy Schechter,
KJ7RYV; Grants Manager Chelsea Párraga, KF0FVJ; and Outreach Manager John
Hays, K7VE. In the interview, we talk about some of the cool grants that
ARDC has awarded lately, including following:
M17 Project. The M17 Project is an international group of Amateur Radio
operators working on a new digital radio protocol thatâ€Ös focused on being
fully open, including the implementations. The ARDC grant of $250,000Â will
support the RF design and development, including test equipment,
prototypes, and developer kits. They will also be used to provide bounties
for solutions to particularly hard problems, and for the administrative
work that is less likely to get done on intrinsic motivation alone.
Additionally, the ARDC grant will support server hosting and similar
operating costs as needed, and travel for a working meeting.
Paradox Sonic Space Research Agency (PSSR). PSSR was awarded $17,300 an
open-source, universal small satellite platform within a single unit
cube-satellite standard, weighing less than 1 kilogram, which could be used
as a baseline to carry out suborbital space missions. They will develop a
nano-satellite with all the basic satellite subsystems and a Plug-and-Play
(PnP) port installed for integrating additional experiments or payloads
without any hardware modifications.
The interview starts at the 1:25:45 mark.
