    Segment 1 (Deep Dive)

    • FreeDV
      • Interview with Mooneer Salem, K6AQ, FreeDV Leadership Team, Developer
    • Topics
      • FreeDV is a low-bit-rate digital voice mode for HF radio. Initially developed by David Rowe, VK5DGR, an international team of radio amateurs are now working together on the project. FreeDV is open-source software, released under the GNU Lesser Public License (LPGL) version 2.1. The modems and Codec 2 speech codec used in FreeDV are also open source. Hardware and software developers can integrate FreeDV into their projects using the FreeDV API. To operate FreeDV, radio amateurs either run the FreeDV GUI application on Windows, Linux and OSX machines or use the SM1000 FreeDV adaptor. Either method allows hams to use a single-sideband HF radio to send and receive FreeDV signals.

    • Russ's Drink Corner
    • David Nicholson 1843 KSBW
    • Description
      • In 1843, David Nicholson started distilling his original bourbon recipe in the private back room of his St. Louis general store. For half a century his recipe had been passed down for generations. Eventually, the legendary Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle and W. L. Weller handcrafted Nicholson’s iconic “43” bourbon at the Stitzel distillery. The Van Winkles owned the brand until 2000 when Luxco acquired it. Still possessing the outstanding character for which it earned its original popularity in 1843, the David Nicholson legacy lives on. Aged in new charred oak barrels this wheated bourbon provides unparalleled smooth flavor and finish.
