[NLRS] Aurora'26 presentations

[Jon Platt]

Following up on a few requests for a copy of the Aurora'26 presentations, no, our current website will not support PPT presentations.  We have had offers to host such presentations by club members (thanks!), but for now the decision is to simply put those who may be so interested to directly contact the presenter(s).   I know that all the presenters email address can be found on QRZ, or just ask me direct.   Here was the afternoon program:

No, the website will not support PPT slide show presentations. The best we could do is create a folder where people could download the PPTs and view them on their own computers. Before we consider doing something like that, you would need to get permission from the presenters to do this. Also, this folder would have to be temporary, since PPTs and accompanying sound files (like those with Bruce's PPT) are very large files, and we only have 1 Gb of site storage space to work with. You could consider converting all the PPT to PDF, whose file size would be significantly smaller, but you cannot incorporate sound files into PDFs. Again, it would have to be a temporary thing due to web storage space considerations. 

I think the better solution would be to have those wanting the PPTs  contact the presenter directly by email and have the presenter send their PPTs directly to those requesting them. Also, I think Rob has a website of his own about all his optical work...I think he makes a lot of his stuff downloadable from there.
