[Amateur-SIG] Ham SIG Meeting Scheduled for April 3rd

[Todd Collins]

The Amateur Radio and Computers SIG meets every first Tuesday at 119 Valley 
Street in the City of Dayton.

Topic for April:

HF propogation software

Inspired by the article in QST a few months ago, I have become fascinated by 
the software available to help hams predict and interpret the conditions 
that affect our radio signals.  To that end, I am just learning how it 
works.

I have put out a call to the ham community to find an elmer who can assist 
us on Tuesday in trying to learn about propogation software.  If you are 
that elmer, please let me know.  Even if we do not find a guest, I think 
together we can look at some of these packages and with our combined 
experience find out what works, and how to make it work!

I will load up my laptop with some of the software I have found and we can 
take a look and see what there is for us out there.
I will have a Hamvention update, with a sneak preview of the TAPR and SDR 
forum topics as well as the rest of the speaker schedules.
I am sure Shawna will have the latest breaking news in the computer world, 
as well as my discovery that Microsoft snuck an undocumented update into the 
Daylight Savings Time patch!

My Winlink 2000 saga continues .... and we can revisit Echolink for a few 
minutes for those who missed it or are still trying to get it to work.

If there is anything you would like to do at this meeting, bring it with or 
let me know.  This is a user's group,not a classroom or a formal meeting. 
If some ham radio project has you backed against the wall, here is a great 
resource to help you get back in the game!

Hope to see you at the next meeting ... Tuesday the Third!

Todd
