Switched off at 2300z to go to bed...
I'm looking at code to generate a WSPR signal directly from a DDS/PIC
combination controlled from GPS timing When done, it will be
possible to leave a beacon running without having to leave the PC on
overnight.
PAs and drivers, happy enough leaving on unattended as I have control
over their thermal protection etc,
But PCs, although designed for 100% on-time, I don't have control over
their hardware.
Also, PICs driving DDSs aren't prone to crashing
