[Amateur-SIG] Ham Radio SIG this Tuesday (Mar. 4)

[Todd Collins]

March is here and that means another gathering of the Amateur Radio and Computers SIG.  

Topics this week will include PSKMail and tips on running it on your PC.  The program is based on Linux and if you have never run any virtualization on your computer you may find this interesting.  I will also demo VMWare if the group wants to see it, and we can discuss some of the virtualization software available, including a new virtual machine offering from Sun and Microsoft's free version. Virtual machines are the latest buzz in the commercial server world and there are some interesting benefits to setting up virtual machines on your PC too!

I doubt we could make a connect if we wanted to from Valley St, but we can get the PSKMail setup under our belts and try it out someday at B Road.   

Shawna will have her computer news update and can demo some remote access capabilities as well as some virtual machine technology in use at University of Dayton.  

I have a preview of Hamvention and it is time to discuss what if anything our SIG would like to do for Hamvention this year.  I also have a few items of interest from the amateur radio community.  

The DMA Amateur Radio and Computers SIG is a forum for people interested in communications to gather and as a group learn about digital modes, RF networking, and how computers can assist us in our hobby,   We meet the first Monday of every month at 119 Valley Street, Dayton, Ohio 45404.   Meeting time is 7:00 pm and all out welcome.  You do not have to be a ham or a DMA member to participate, though we will help you achieve either of those goals!  

We look forward to seeing you this Tuesday.
