The GRHW will be run by Dr. Tom R., who will briefly speak about
the current state and future directions of the GNU Radio project.
Afterwards, a brief GNU Radio tutorial will follow.

Then attendees will work individually or in groups to implement a
communications system from scratch, with guidance from on-hand staff
to answer questions and help with problems. A working system will be
presented at the end.
