At The DCC This weekend

I'm attending the Amateur Radio Digital Communications Conference in Denver, Colorado. The DCC is jointly sponsored by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and Tucson Amateur Packet Radio (TAPR); I'm a Director of the latter.

The DCC is the closest thing that the Amateur Radio industry (vendors) and hobby (users) has to a Research and Development conference. Formal papers are presented on both theoretical (we ought to do this) and practical (I've done this - isn't it cool?) topics. On another level, it's a gathering of technically minded Amateur Radio Operators interested in digital wireless communications from all over the US, and also internationally.

It's a fascinating conference, because Amateur Radio spectrum is often a perfect "radio playground" for experimentation with new modes. More information is available at http://www.tapr.org/dcc.

  • About Steve Stroh

    In 1996, I was fascinated to discover that providing Internet Access via license-exempt wireless technologies was not only possible, but being done routinely by a small band of pioneering Internet Service Providers.

    By mid-1997, I was writing professionally about Broadband Wireless Internet Access (BWIA) as a monthly columnist in Boardwatch Magazine.

    In 2000, I began writing about BWIA full time in my own blogs, for numerous other publications, and my own subscription newsletter.

    From 2008 - 2015, I took a hiatus from writing about BWIA, but my interest in BWIA did not wane. From 2016 - 2020 I worked to resume writing full time.
