Dean KK4DAS visited the N2CQR SolderSmoke shack. We talked about a lot things including chess, Mars, and AI. Dean is an amazing guy -- he used to work at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a couple of times actually spoke with Richard Feynman. We also shot a video about the Vienna Wireless Society's group build of Pete Juliano's Simple SSB transceiver (video above).
This group build all started with Dean's build of Pete's rig. He built his early in the pandemic, while on furlough from work, thus the name "The Furlough 40." That makes all of this very much a quarantine effort. As we have learned, dark clouds often do have silver linings.
For more details on the group build, check out Dean's blog:

Thanks Dean! And three cheers for all the Vienna Wireless builders!
