[tapr-announce] Digital Communications Conference -- Sep. 25-27
John Ackermann
Conference (DCC www.tapr.org/dcc) September 25-27 in Chicago. The DCC
has something for everyone from those new to digital modes to those
experienced with digital communications including technical and
introductory forums. According to DCC Co-host Mark Thompson, WB9QZB, one
of the highlights of this year's DCC will be Bob Bruninga, WB4APR,
presenting "Universal Ham Radio Text Messaging." The Saturday night
banquet speaker will be Bill Brown, WB8ELK, a pioneer in flying balloons
with payloads including Amateur Radio digital communication
technologies. Brown is the publisher and editor of Amateur Television
Quarterly magazine. ARRL Technical Relations Manager Brennan Price,
N4QX, will be on hand to discuss the upcoming World Radiocommunications
Conference in his talk "WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.19: Shaping the
International Regulatory Framework for Software Defined and Cognitive
Radio Systems." QEX Editor Larry Wolfgang, WR1B, and ARRL Central
Division Director Dick Isely, W9GIG, will also be in attendance. The
2009 DCC forum and speaker schedule is available online
http://www.tapr.org/pdf/DCC_2009_Schedule_Preliminary2009-09-16.pdf.
TAPR provides leadership and resources to radio amateurs for the purpose
of advancing the radio art and is a research and development oriented
group offering kits, assembled products and publications related to the
intersection of Amateur Radio and digital technology.
Two special notes:
1. The second half of the "Sunday" seminar (10-12 Sunday morning) will
be a hands-on demonstration of setting up an HPSDR board set and
software. If you're interested in HPSDR, this should be a really
valuable workshop.
2. Gary Pearce, KN4AQ, is looking for a couple of people to assist him
in videoing the conference. Here's Gary's request:
"ARVN, the company shooting video at the 2009 DCC, needs one or two
assistants to help shoot the video. The job would involve running a
consumer video camera, mostly shooting the presenter and audience
members asking questions. The qualifications are pretty must just being
good at shooting home video.
You'll receive free admission to the DCC, lunch, dinner and the banquet,
and a complete set of the DVDs."
If you'd like to help, you can contact Gary at kn...@arvideonews.com
