[MicroHAMS] Update on Microhams Digital Conference / Winter Gathering

[Kenny Richards]

We are now just about two weeks out from the Microhams Digital
Conference/Winter Gathering, so it is time to send out another update
/ reminder.  If you would like to attend, please get registered soon
as you can, the details are available on the conference website. We
need to have everybody who is attending signed up by February 20th so
that we can complete the registration required for parking on the
campus and more importantly so I can get the food ordered for lunch.

Just in case you missed the original post, here are the event details
again:

Date: 	February 24, 2007 				 			 			
Location: (on the main Microsoft Corporate campus) 				 			Time:  9:00
to 	17:00+
Lunch: Sub sandwiches (provided) 				 			 			
After Event:   Pizza Gathering (local pizza place, to be named later)
				Cost: $10.00 To cover the cost of hosting the event and lunch
Door Prizes: Donations from Icom, MicroHams, etc 				 			Note:  Space
is limited - Register soon

Now for the updates.  We are really close to having the schedule
locked down for the day.  Here are the list of presentations which
have been confirmed.

Beginning APRS  	 	
9600 APRS Network  	 	
DigiNed with Microsoft development tools  	 	
Keynote / Current State of SDR – This will be given by 	Lyle Johnson -KK7P  	 	
Turning a Linksys NSLU2 into a  packet machine! 	
Weak Signal VHF (watching Montana TV from Seattle!)  	 	
Introduction to D-Star with demo

For those that are not familiar with the Microsoft main campus, I have
created a web page with directions, a map and the other information to
help you get to the conference.  We will also have a 2m talk in
frequency, a APRS beacon and on site phone number just in case anybody
gets lost.(information is all available on the web page)  I'd
recommend just printing out the directions page and bring it with you
the day of the conference.

Finally just a quick note about the schedule for the day.  The
conference officially begins at 9am with general introductions and
then we'll roll into the first presentation.  The doors will open at
8:30am for sign-in and collection of the registration fees.

Hope to see you at this year Microhams Digital Conference/NWAPRS
Winter Gathering.
