DESCRIPTION:Amateur  radio  operators  build  and  operate radio equipment 
 including communicating via satellites.  Very  few  of  them  develop  the
 ir own software\, the majority build and operate hardware. Amateur radio s
 oftware is used in conjunction with hardware for RTTY contests\, digital  
 communication  modems\,    satellite orbit  predictions  and  many  other 
 applications.  This  talk  describes  some achievements\, anecdotes and le
 ssons learned by developing a variety of software for amateur radio and hi
 ghlights differences between professional and amateur software development
