Hello GNU Radio community,

The Radio Resilience Competition is in full swing, and we want you to join!

The competition invites competitors to build the best GNU Radio-based
transceivers they can, and then pit their creations against a series of
simulated RF challenges designed to push them to their limits.  Matches
take place in an open-source virtual testbed we've developed called the
Simulator and are run weekly.  Visit here to recap the action from Sunday's
match: [https://youtu.be/YoFv0yPYU0M?t=295]

We are exactly halfway through our fall season, but it's not too late to
join!  We have two more scrimmages on 12/13 and 12/20, followed by a final
event on 12/27 to wrap up the season.  All are welcome and encouraged to
participate!

Getting started takes minutes.  First, visit [https://radioresilience.com/]
and follow the registration link to get credentialed.  Next, clone the
Simulator [https://gitlab.com/radio-resilience/simulator] and follow the
steps in the README to build your competition-ready transceiver and be
entered in our weekly matches.

Check out our GRcon talk to learn more [https://youtu.be/txsN7sTGSVY?t=11],
and feel free to reach out directly if you have any questions.  I hope you
will consider competing!

Best,
Matt, on behalf of the Radio Resilience Competition organizers

ps -- Even if you don't plan on competing, I hope you will consider playing
with the Simulator.  It uses docker-compose to spin up a series of virtual
transceivers that can interact with one another over a simulated channel.
We think it's pretty neat, and we hope you will too.
