Blogging From (Seattle) Communications Academy 2008

I'm blogging from the (Seattle) Communications Academy 2008. the MicroHAMS Digital Conference. It's a two-day conference on Amateur Radio Emergency Communications, now in (at least) it's sixth year. It teaches some of the formalities of "more structured" Amateur Radio Emergency ("Net") Communications.

It's my first time attending Comm Academy because I've always had a major personal or professional conflict in previous years. Judging from the turnout I see here in the main auditorium, there are (easily) 300 or more attendees, and the attendance of emergency communications agencies is impressive, including FEMA.

Clearwire is sponsoring the Wi-Fi access. Laptop usage is relatively light, so it seems to be working pretty well.

I'll blog continuously throughout the day.

Blogging From The Microhams Digital Conference

I'm blogging from the MicroHAMS Digital Conference. It's a one-day conference on digital communications technologies and techniques being used in Amateur Radio, hosted by MicroHAMS - the Microsoft Amateur Radio club. It's being held at a nice conference facility on the Microsoft campus.

It's got a pretty interesting lineup of presentations, all of which will be online, and, I think, a video of the presentation will be online too now online.
