DIGITAL CONFERENCE The Southeastern Division is proud to host the 19th annual ARRL and TAPR Digital Communications Conference, September 22-24, 2000 in Orlando. Here is some information about the event, which is an international forum for hams in digital communications, networking, and related technologies. Everyone has the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn about recent hardware and software advances, theories, experimental results, and practical applications. The Digital Communications Conference is not just for the digital expert, but also for digitally oriented amateurs of all levels of experience. An entire series of sessions with beginning, intermediate, and advanced presentations on selected topics in digital communications will be offered. Some of the topics will include: APRS, Satellite Communications, TCP/IP, Digital Radio, Spread Spectrum and other introductory topics. I hope that you can attend! 73, Frank Butler, W4RH ARRL Southeastern Division Director BREAKFAST Remember breakfast at Dottie's in Enterprise and Ann's in Ozark on Saturday mornings. Enterprise is at 7AM and Ozark is at 8AM. Come by and have an enjoyable visit with the local HAMS. Jerry - N4RYC -------------------------------------------- Electronic Edition: Please delete KF4JTF from your e-mail list. He is still a club member, he just doesn't have e-mail anymore. Jerry has sent that list of equipment from the estate sale of KC4CMH. I've attached it here. I'm afraid it looks fine on his screen but loses something in the translation. If you can't make heads or tails out of it (like me), give KA4AFI a call - he has the original. Club meeting in a couple of days and the Huntsville Hamfest is this weekend. Hope to see some of you at one or both. N4JAG Rick You're just jealous because the voices are talking to me.
