The Quicksilver Metaweb is an online community making use of wiki technology. Like a real community, the metaweb is a living document, an organism that reproduces and multiplies and evolves based on the work of its collaborative authors(villiage idots and highway men included). The web provides a great opportunity for unlimited contributions as readers reflect on the various characters, plots and underlying themes presented in the book. Use the search facility to help navigate through the web; hit the main page if ever you become lost. As Neal is quoted, Quicksilver is not part of a "trilogy" but the first volume of 7-8 interconnected novels he envisions as part of the Baroque Cycle.
Remote CW with RKI 1.05 and Sparkfun FT231X breakout board
I've created a workable solution for sending CW via a "straight key" to my remote Flexradio 6600 at the lake using RemoteKeyerInterface (RKI) and a simple Serial/USB circuit. RKI is only available for Windows. RKI enables you to use paddles or a straight key to send CW through a remote Flex‑6000 transceiver. After several iterations I've settled on a design using the Sparkfun FT-231x breakout board and RKI v1.05 that was originally posted by Gary KT7AZ on the RKI groups.io forum . However, to send CW reliably via a straight key - there were two main problems I had to solve. First, I had to resolve the network latency and buffer bloat in my shack's network by setting up a router with Smart Queue Management. The Ubiquity EdgeRouter was recommended by a friend of mine (Larry N1FG) and has been working great. I'm using the 4 port Edgerouter X which was only $50 at microcenter (open box special). No more audio stuttering or dropped packets, which kills
