I think there should be a handycap for Hams with noisy families.  With the dog
barking at the lawn crew, the battling kids, the phone, and the doorbell, it
shaped up to be quite a Saturday...

I'm running a homebrew DSP modem that several of the RRTY guys here chipped in
to design and build.  This modem uses a TI DSP to perform the heavy lifting. 
After several iterations using fancy digital filters, this version of software
implements the transfer function from the original Florida Boys Multi-modem
developed by Don, AF4Z.  Don's modem uses op amps to handle the filters and
capacitors for time constants and has proven itself with a room full of RTTY
contest trophies.  This latest version really worked well.  Considering the
equipment I have and the conditions (Florida weather), I'm very pleased with
the score.

We lost the club station to a lightning strike last week, so we were not able
to put together a team for this effort.

Hopefully, the Florida Boys will get it together for the next one.
