Chapter 2 9/5/99 to10/14/99 - I picked up a radio for the system at the Dayton Ham Fest and spend most of the time working on it. WiNRADiO installed 9/5/99, WiNRADiO receiving the Weak Signal Source 9/13/99,SETI Net Dynamic Address 9/27/99, RF Test Range 10/10/99, WiNRADiO AGC Defeat 
Chapter 3 10/27/99 to 1/15/2001 -I decided that someone should look at unifying the data collection process and started designing SML. Data Format  FITS & XML 10/27/99, Baseband Output, Phase Noise Measurement, Software in Progress - (1/15/2001),
Chapter 4 01/21/2001 to 3/25/2001 - During testing I ran into a lot of noise in the system. This prompted the design of a front end filter. Comb line filter -(3/15/2001),  Enclosure
Chapter 5
8/3/2001 to  2/4/2002 - More concentration on the software side of the system in this chapter. I was able to lock the antenna to a point in the sky using the SETI Net Clock software  and was able to integrate a sky map to show just where the antenna is pointedIntegrate the sky map. I was also able to create the first waterfall image of the sky when locked and tracking Waterfall . 

The recording and playback of the data stream proved to be a daunting task only partially solved during this period Recording and Playback of Raw Data ) and finally I tackled the ever-present problem of making the waterfall display presentable.

I must look for myself
