Looks like a good program.  I'm signed up to mentor, and Matt will
back me up.

In the suggested projects department: 
  
  * Build decent GUI around one or more GNU Radio apps.  This could
include a basic AM/FM/NBFM receiver/scanner.

  * Build decent GUI for an "amateur transceiver".  Including features
such as Tx/Rx frequency split for talking on repeaters, etc.  Could
optionally handle digital voice, etc.  We've got most of the guts
working, but no GUI.

  * RFID

  * Pretty much anything anybody wants to work on, e.g., signal
processing, new mods/demods, ...
