Hi All, This looks interesting for Saturday. Maybe we can get together for some ops along the bay if the weather is OK?

Date: Wednesday, January 27, 2010, 7:54 PM - Saturday, January 30th, 2010 More information on the web site Robust Microwave Communications System Design for Remote Locations 1:30 PM Edward Johnson, WB6CFW Microwave Point-to-Point Communications Networks have been with us for nearly 70 years. Today’s equipment and networks have evolved significantly to the point where equipment reliability is excellent and links are easier to design and install. Remote areas, small towns, villages and industrial sites are requiring increased traffic bandwidth, public Internet and corporate IP services. In places where fiber optic cables are not practical or cost justified and satellite service is not reliable enough, fixed terrestrial microwave links are typically used. Methods used to design these networks with high reliability and minimal maintenance is the topic of this presentation. Ed Johnson will present useful information based on real project experiences on ways to make these networks robust. Included will be a discussion on propagation, mitigation techniques, adaptive links, site power systems and other environmental issues that affect reliability and survivability. Two Excellent Dxpedition Video Presentations 3:00 PM K5D Desecheo Island "Desecheo is a small, mountainous island in the Mona Channel, approximately 14 miles or 21 km west of Punta Higüero, Puerto Rico. The island lies outside the 100 fathom depth boundary used to define the Puerto Rican Bank. The DXpedition, 12-26 February 2009, netted 115,783 QSOs, including one QSO with the International Space Station. The DXpedition ranks #7th for all-time number of QSOs, and the #1 DXpedition with the most 30M contacts." (From the website) This DVD was provided for viewing by FARS Member John Mezak, .
