Launch of System Blue delayed

[RichoAnd]

 

For a moment I feared it was "Bye bye bluebird"  


Bye bye bluebird, Bye bye bluebird
You were lots of fun to know
But I have to let you go
Bye bye bluebird, Bye bye bluebird
You're the flyin' saucer kind
In and out and hard to find
Bye bye bluebird
Bye bye bluebird
Bye bye bluebird
Bye bye bluebird

Please just be patient. We know what we're doing. The hardware is just a small part of the project.

If the problem is lack of "blue", I'm sure we have some around somewhere we can send.

There was a very popular song / instrumental back about 1968... originally by a French gentleman-Andre Popp...
the most popular in the US... here
(click blue board to play)


and the ascribed lyrics were something like

Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I'm without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we're apart
When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone
Gone, gone, the love we knew
Blue is my world now I'm without you.

Sigh,... but if we're patient...

This music is soooo very cheesy.... It should be reserved for the next next system Yellow!.

I did - In 1968 I was 20, had a Citroên 2CW and a small tape recorder placed in it.
It was a conventionally tape, and music received from "Radio Luxemborg" 
Jeans, long hair, slim t-shirt and a Gauloises cigarette in my month, playing drums in a rock-band - it was me

From the play-list I remember ... 

The Mamas & The Papas - "Monday Monday" and "California dreaming"
The Troggs - Wild Thing and "With A Girl Like You"
Procol Harum "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" 
The Animals  "The House of the Rising Sun"

Maybe we should get back on topic again?

Just that you can see, that there is ongoing development, here another PCB. We are currently testing several proof-of-concept designs. The PCB below is some sort of all-in-one solution, with some additional gimmicks (like TFT-LCD). So far it is only for testing purposes! The final product may look completely different and with less/different features.

Yesterday I finished test of a new 30cm loop antenna

It performs better than my 90cm Möbius copper loop antenna for System RED.
I use the new Differential Preamplifier in front of a RED H-Field amplifier

Based on images, it seems that this chip is "the heart" of a new System Blue, am I right ? :-)

...thanks for images. I keep following a updates of the new system :-)

Yes, it's almost fixed that it will be some of the STM32F427xxx series (F429 is not necessary).

Patiently waiting for the opportunity to add Charlotte, North Carolina to the network.  This will expand coverage for Western and Central NC, Northern SC, Eastern TN, NE Georgia, plus a second active station in NC for correlation.  

I am a retired IBM Senior Scientist/Computer Engineer and an Extra Class ham radio operator.  I expect to have my system up 24/7 except for times of NWS Thunderstorm Warning.

Best regards to the Team,
