BVARC,

Our own Walter K5WH (ok, we have to share him) is presenting at Microsoft's ARC event.  See below.

________________________________


FYI…



Please join us this Saturday 4/24/21 if you can, to check out the interactive sessions.



Because this managed from Seattle, be aware of the Pacific time zone for the sessions.





Each year since 2007 the Microsoft Amateur Radio Club (Microhams) has held a conference with a focus on digital communications.  The conference offers a variety of topics across a range of skill levels.  Our motto is “Inspire, inform and educate”.  This year is the 14th annual Microhams Digital Conference.  Like in 2020, the 2021 conference will be streamed and at no charge (donations welcome).



One of the virtues of going online is that we can invite presenters that would be impractical to bring to the Seattle area.  This year, half of our presenters are from outside our area.  The latest updates will be published on the Microhams web site at http://www.microhams.com/mhdc/.



The 2021 conference will be Saturday April 24th feature the following –



Walter Holmes, K5WH – Free DV Digital Voice for HF  (Shameless plug) 😊

Gregg Marco, W6IZT – Rig in a Box solution for DXpeditions

Bob Bruninga, WB4APR – APRS, universal digital comms and emergency operations

Paul Elliot, WB6CXC – Developing and tracking drift buoys

Paul Sturmer, KI7WLV – High speed communications from HuskySat-1

Bryan Hoyer, K7UDR – The ultimate packet workstation



The conference can be streamed live on YouTube so there can be an unlimited number of attendees.  This year the conference is available at no charge but we do request a donation via the web site to cover our expenses.  There is a chat channel in YouTube to ask questions and these will be passed to the presenters at the end of the presentations during a Q&A session.  To provide a more interactive experience, there will be a Zoom breakout room available at the end of the session where the presenters can hang out and answer questions in person for the next hour.  Of course, the whole thing will be recorded on YouTube and available for viewing later if you miss anything.



The links to the stream and Zoom breakout room are being finalized and will be posted on the MHDC 2021 web site when complete.  All the latest updates are available at http://www.microhams.com/mhdc/.



See you Saturday!



Scott Honaker, N7SS for the MHDC Team
