I definitely, absolutely, totally intend to be there. Whether this translates into reality only time will tell, but my intentions are good.

What's "The Squelch Problem"? :hmm:

Is that going to be about how to squish spikes?

In old time radio we had a 'squelch' control that was supposed to stop extremely loud noises from reaching the speakers.

In non-tech terms, I call it SCREECH, that ear-piercing sound I sometimes get when I say ch, sh, and occasionally s in the middle of a word as in "whistle. Anyway, I can see it in the wave form, and will demo how I get rid of it.

BTW, I'm adding a new topic to the subject line: BRAGS. Each participant will get a few minutes to brag on/call attention to something LV they are currently working on.

Squelch still used in ham radio, shortwave receivers, etc. There is always a little background noise, sometimes a lot, and the squelch essentially sets a volume threshold above which a signal must rise to be heard. So, it squelches the static.
