[TangerineSDR] DCC discussion list

[Tom McDermott]

I've combed the meeting notes and some other thoughts and put together a
frist draft of possible DCC discussion topics for HAMSCI / TangerineSDR.
Please review and send me additions, deletions, changes, etc. by Monday the
16th and I'll iterate once before the conference.

*HAMSCI project discussion Topics for DCC 2019*

1.    Need cost estimates for the Clock, DE, RF, and Magnetometer modules.
2.    What is the schedule for the modules, testing, prototypes?
   a.    Data Engine
   b.    2-chan RF receiver
   c.    GPS Clock
   d.    Magnetometer
   e.    Other ? SBC, Power supply, etc.
3.    Each module will have a unique manufacturer serial number based on
some PROMs that have this capability. Any issues with the number or format?
4.    Do we need to create any videos describing what the project is, what
the objectives are, status, or other?
5.    No discussion so far on power supplies, other than a request for +12V
battery power capable. Do we need a plan?
6.    HAMSCI 2020
   a.    Any more information on the location?
   b.    Should we plan a demo of TangerineSDR or the completed parts?
7.    Receive Antennas. Mike Pappas has acquired a calibrated filed
strength meter, we discussed seeing if DX Engineering would let us measure
a production lot of antennas (10?) to determine the field strength
sensitivity and variance.
8.    Do we need a test plan for the system?
9.    Upload data compression appears feasible (3:1 ?).  Do we need any
study or proposals of how much data we are asking folks to upload? Or is
this better to determine experimentally?
