iQuadLabs and TAPR Reach Distribution Agreement

19 January, 2012 (Tempe, AZ and Richardson, TX) – TAPR (tapr.org) and iQuadlabs (iquadlabs.com) jointly announce a sourcing agreement for the openHPSDR (openHPSDR.org) boards Magister, Mercury and Pennylane. Under the new agreement, TAPR will acquire inventory from iQuadLabs, creating a one-stop source for all openHPSDR boards. In addition, iQuadLabs will acquire inventory from TAPR to build pre-configured and tested complete openHPSDR systems. Zephyr Engineering, Inc will continue to manufacture the assembled boards, maintaining the high quality standards already established in all previous builds.

This is good news for the openHPSDR community. TAPR will have all openHPSDR boards in stock, in one place, for those wishing to buy boards, kits and components. And, for the first time in the history of openHPSDR, those who wish to by a completely assembled and tested radio will have a source at iQuadLabs.

2011 ARRL/TAPR DCC Video Now ON-LINE from ARVN

That's right - all the talks from the 2011 DCC are now available on the web. Instant viewing on a browser near you (in high-definition)! Just point to www.ARVN.TV, and you'll find them.

The programs are produced as "shareware video" by ARVN:Amateur Radio//Video News. ARVN Producer Gary Pearce KN4AQ decided to try an experiment and put all the programs up on the web (courtesy of YouTube). This is especially helpful to hams outside the US, as DVD shipping and customs clearance can take more than a month. DVDs will be available sometime soon for those who want physical media.

Free to watch, but not free to make. So yes, you can watch the video for free. But ARVN has a lot of money and time invested in producing them. They are asking for a voluntary contribution from viewers who find the programs worthwhile. Just look for "Arvin the Piggy Bank" on the ARVN web site to make a contribution. The minimum is $1.50, and the site provides some suggestions, but it really is "whatever it's worth to you." Keep in mind that if too many viewers find it's worth "nothing," that's likely to be what's produced in Atlanta this year.
