About:

My name is Tom.

I live in Arlington, VA.

This gal is my wife.

This is my personal page. I have other pages, too, like bearscare.org.

I feel strongly about bears, octopi and dinosaurs. And elephants, rhinos, and some large birds too.

Shoutouts:
My lovely wife Catherine!
My mom
An excellent bear resource

Radio/programming victories

In chronological order:

Kicking GNU Radio’s ass
Demodulating a Gaussian frequency shift keying (GFSK) waveform with a Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) demodulator
Learning that the demodulated bits are always inverted for no obvious reason
Writing bitstuff and unbitstuff routines
Implementing proprietary scramble and unscramble routines to make real information look like noise
Learning the signal from item 2 was GFSK and not GMSK, even though it was supposed to be GMSK.
Creating a GFSK waveform using a continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK) modulator.
Achieving end-to-end, digital communications using items 1-7 with a little silver box which came with minimal documentation.
Writing no-return-to-zero (NRZI) encoding and decoding routines

Hell yeah!
