FAR/ARRL MDC SECTION DIGITAL CONVENTION

On Sunday, November 11, the Foundation for Amateur Radio will sponsor our MDC Section Convention. It is being hosted by the Armed Forces Retirement Home Amateur Radio Club and will be held in their movie theater. There will be an explanation of many digital modes from 10 am to 12 noon. After lunch, Atlantic Division Assistant Director Albert (W3MIV) Schramm will discuss the results of the recent Atlantic Division survey and their implications. Following that will be a panel discussion of the various modes and issues with moderated questions from the audience. Our guest from League Headquarters will be someone well versed in digital, Mr. Steve (WB8IMY) Ford, editor of QST magazine. An online registration form will soon be posted my website, www.arrl-mdc.net. Since the facility rules DO NOT permit the collection of funds at the door, you MUST pre-register for this. Walk-ins will not be accepted. We plan to have a CD available to attendees with a great deal of information and software to get you started with digital. [Jim Cross, WI3N]
