From Jim Cross WI3N [SM MDC]

We need to close the registration for the DIGITAL Convention on Wednesday night to deal with the logistics that require a head count.

There will be no walk-ins per the rules of the facility so PLEASE don’t procrastinate.

Please go to my website: http://www.arrl-mdc.net for information, directions, lat & long and to register. You may pay by check, PayPal or credit card. We had a brief problem with some versions of Internet Explorer vs PayPal, but that is now fixed.

The halls and classrooms of Briarcliffe College in Bethpage will be rocking with signals when Ham Radio University 2008 opens it’s doors on Sunday, January 13, 2008. New forums, exciting displays and presentations and live operating events are scheduled. The event is also the ARRL NYC/LI Section Convention and there are special events geared to ARES and EmComm. Other forums will cover some new twists on contesting, low-power operating and many other aspects of ham radio.

A highlight of the event will be the keynote address by one of the most dynamic speakers in ham radio, Gordon West WB6NOA, who is flying in from California especially for HRU. Don’t miss his exciting presentation and a chance to talk to him in person. ‘Gordo’ is well known for his surprises - be forewarned if he asks you to be a volunteer…

Don’t miss HRU this year! Check the Web site for updates on forums and other news - http://www.hamradiouniversity.org

Sunday, January 13, 2008 starting at 9AM

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]
