- The slides with some bugs fixed are here:

- I was referring to the HAMs in Berlin talking to the Fram2 SpaceX space-
  craft, details on that are here:

- One of the interesting topics afterwards was the 'steep learning curve' of
  the GNU radio software, and how that could be improved.  
  I was later wondering if an MCP server making the functionality available
  would be feasible, i.e. "create the basic setup for a UKW radio receiver"
  could result in these components being placed on the GNU radio workbench.
  Related, for example Blender is doing something like this: "create me a
  sphere, in red" is easier for newbies than reading up on how to use the
  normal interfaces.
  Whether the resources spent on LLMs/model training for these uses are worth
  it is a different topic, IMHO that tech should first be much more efficient
  before we widely deploy it.

cheers,
Christian
