That would be us at PARI.  I'm hoping to demo the pulsar code Friday night.  
We've bought several USRP's; I have two myself.  Our receive dishes are 85 
feet in diameter, but rather old.  This means we have a job just keeping them 
running, and keeping up with lightning hits and such.  But things are 
a'happenin' albeit somewhat slowly.
