It's with a sad burning heart I have to tell you all that our good friend and six time vice president of the club. Bill N2BDP past in the night and is now a silent key. Linda informed me this morning. He transitioned to a better place sometime between midnight and 4 a m. Bill was a past Vice President of 6 terms for the Southern Counties Amatuer Radio Association (SCARA) and the AUXCOM Logistics Coordinator for Atantuc County.

We made it. QSO One is on Google Play.
Would you like to know more?
QSO One is live on Google Play, right now, in 177 countries.

I want to be honest with you about how we got here, because you were
there for all of it.
This started as one guy in Ohio who wanted to get on AllStarLink
without a Raspberry Pi and a weekend of Linux. That was it. That was
the whole plan. What it turned into was six networks, two platforms,
a station map, a net finder, badges, trophies, and a few thousand of
you.
It did not go smoothly. Google rejected the first submission. They
could not sign in, they could not find what they were looking for,
and they sent it back with a list. So I fixed the list. Then I sent
it again. The only good bug is a dead bug, and that one is dead.
But here is the part I actually want to say.
I did not find most of the bugs in this app. You did. Every one of
you who sent a screenshot at midnight, who wrote "this is awkward,
but...", who told me the audio dropped, who told me the button did
not work, who told me you could not read the screen at all. You are
the reason this thing is good enough to be on a store shelf.
To the operators using screen readers who told me plainly that the
app did not work for them, and then stayed and kept telling me: thank
you. You made me build something better than I would have built on
my own.
To everyone who hit that bug report button instead of just
uninstalling: I'm doing my part. You did yours.
This is not the finish line. It is the drop zone.
iOS, macOS and Linux are coming. More networks are coming. Everything
stays free, everything stays unlocked, and nothing gets paywalled.
That does not change.
Everybody fights. Nobody quits.
Thank you. Genuinely, all of you.
