Issue dossier
The maker repository description says it is building an SSTV #badgelife badge for HRV at DEFCON 34, while Ham Radio Village's official page confirms its DEF CON 34 programme. The official event page does not mention the repository or badge. No reviewed source establishes HRV or DEF CON commissioning, sponsorship, organizer authorization, booth/pickup, price, quantity, sale/giveaway, recipient criteria, allocation, completed handoff, admission role, or access-control function.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.

official event context
Ham Radio Village's official DEF CON 34 event page confirms the August 6-9, 2026 Las Vegas event context. It does not mention this repository, name a badge, or establish HRV sponsorship, manufacture, distribution, authorization, or image-reuse rights for the maker project.
Badge: HRV SSTV Badge (DEF CON 34)
public dated development-status document
Commit-pinned project-status document dated March 22, 2026. It records design-stage subsystem work and outstanding layout, prototype, power-on, and firmware milestones. It does not independently prove manufacture, functionality, availability, or event deployment.
Badge: HRV SSTV Badge (DEF CON 34)
public native KiCad design archive
Commit-pinned public hardware tree containing main-board and carrier KiCad project files. It establishes an accessible design-source trail, not a completed board revision, fabricated unit, component procurement, electrical characterization, RF test, safety/compliance result, or finished DEF CON artifact.
Badge: HRV SSTV Badge (DEF CON 34)
public planned independent badge-project repository
Public GitHub project whose description says it is building an SSTV #badgelife badge for HRV at DEFCON 34. It establishes a maker-published planned project and source trail, not Ham Radio Village or DEF CON authorization, manufacture, availability, allocation, handoff, credential function, or image-reuse permission.
Badge: HRV SSTV Badge (DEF CON 34)
public project overview and hardware proposal
Commit-pinned maker documentation describing the proposed badge form, electronic component categories, image-exchange purpose, radio-carrier concept, and current project framing. It is linked as evidence of a planned design, not as a build, configuration, operating, radio-use, safety, compliance, or delivery guide.

repository source-license text
Commit-pinned root MIT license text. Its generic copyright placeholder and software-and-associated-documentation wording do not establish complete rights for the hardware files, any radio design, documentation images, third-party dependencies, event names, or a reusable badge image.

GitHub / livitup · retrieved 2026-05-15
Commit-pinned primary project documentation for the proposed RP2350B, camera, display, storage, LEDs, USB-C/LiPo, SAO, and radio-carrier design surface. It describes a plan and contains no evidence of a prototype, completed firmware, delivery, safe operating result, or final event-unit parity.

GitHub / livitup · retrieved 2026-05-15
Commit-pinned primary source showing native main-board and carrier KiCad project files. File presence supports a real design archive, not a final release, validated schematic, fabricated board, component availability, RF performance, electrical safety, regulatory compliance, or physical handoff.

GitHub / livitup · retrieved 2026-05-15
Commit-pinned, dated primary status source. It records unfinished design, prototype, and firmware milestones, so it is used to bound this record as a planned project rather than confirm an assembled or deployed badge.
