Diablo Link Project
The goal of the Diablo Link project is to bring back interesting video images from Santa Cruz islands to researchers, educational institutions, and even your living room. We hope to combine amateur radio, computers, mountain-top repeaters, video cameras, and operational know-how into an interesting project that offers many technical challenges, ample room for experimentation, as well as exciting applications that capture interest in the larger community.
