Save the date of April 5th for this year’s symposium, “Technology & Preparedness.” There will be presentations and live demonstrations of amateur radio satellite communications, Raspberry Pi 5 For Radio Amateurs, and Emergency Preparedness. Some of the featured cutting-edge technologies include software-defined radio and radios capable of making long-distance contacts via satellites orbiting the Earth. The ‘preparedness’ presentations will include some old and new techniques for dealing with a loss of commercial power, cell phone communications, or internet communications.
Phil N1EP has done a great job in pulling together topics, presenters, and door prizes for this year’s event. He also secured the ARRL designation “ARRL-Sanctioned Operating Specialty Convention” for the event. You may have seen the press releases and stories in the local papers.
All are welcome to attend! The symposium will include door prizes and refreshments. Admission is by donation, which will be forwarded to the host facility. The event will take place on Saturday, April 5, from noon to 4:00pm, at the Meadow View Apartments Phase IV Dining Hall (see map here).
