Folks I am going to try to audio record the forums at Hara, but no guarantee on that at this point. If someone out there, planning to attend Gerald's and Our SDR forums at Hara would volunteer to record the audio, it would be appreciated.
I will be 'broadcasting' all of the Festivities at the Suite on Saturday evening on Teamspeak, since they do have high speed Internet. The audio portions of the presentations by Gerald et.al. from the suite will be recorded and posted on Dale's website for later listening, possibly as late as the following Monday. I can't wait to see the new rig, even if only in prototype.

I second that - I really wish I could be there but I'll be out of the country and unable to attend. I'd love to see at least the powerpoints...

John, Quite impressive. How do I get a copy of the presentations, for one who can't attend Dayton? I plan to demo my SDR-1000 at some ham clubs here in RI. and the presentations would be very nice to summarize.
