Subject: [tapr-announce] ARRL-TAPR Digital Communications Conference --
Atlanta, Georgia 9/21 - 9/23

Mark your calendar and start making plans to attend the premier 
technical conference of the year, the 31st Annual ARRL and TAPR 
Digital Communications Conference to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, on 
September 21-23, 2012, at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel Atlanta Airport.

We're thrilled to be bringing the DCC to Atlanta for the first time!

If you're one of the many hams interested in D-Star, APRS or other 
packet radio operation, Software Defined Radios, HF data or digital 
voice modes, digital TV, or any other activity combining computer and 
radio technology, you'll find something at the DCC for you.

The ARRL and TAPR Digital Communications Conference is an 
international forum for radio amateurs to meet, publish their work, 
and present new ideas and techniques. Presenters and attendees will 
have the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn about recent 
hardware and software advances, theories, experimental results, and 
practical applications.

And, you don't need to be an expert to attend -- in addition to 
papers on cutting-edge topics, there will also be a track of 
introductory sessions including D-Star, APRS, and HF digital modes.

The DCC runs all day on Friday, Sep. 21 and Saturday, Sep. 22, with 
an in-depth seminar on using open source Gnuradio software to turn 
your laptop into an SDR on Sunday morning, Sep. 23.  There will be a 
social event Friday evening and a banquet dinner on Saturday.

More details, including a preliminary schedule of events and a link 
to the registration form, are at:

You may register for one, two, or all three days.  Advance 
registration for attendance is not required, but is discounted from 
event-day prices.   Tickets for meals must be purchased in advance.
