2008 ARRL / TAPR DCC to be held in Chigaco

The joint 2008 ARRL and Tucson Amateur Packet Radio Digital Communications Conference will held in the Chicago area from September 26th to the 28th. The venue is the Elk Grove Village Holiday Inn located near O'Hare airport.

The Digital Communications Conference is billed as the premiere annual digital ham radio meeting covering all aspects of digital communications as applied to ham radio. This includes both voice and data on frequencies ranging from the lowest of the high frequency bands up through the microwaves.

And for the first time, this year's conference will feature a
D-STAR Friday Night event. Plans are to have the nation's leading innovators, pioneers and leaders in D-STAR digital movement at the gathering to answer any and all questions regarding the mode that some believe will likely replace FM for ham radio utility communications in the years and decades to come.

There will be a free airport to hotel shuttle and easily accessible from major interstate highways. Full information about the 2008 Digital Communications Conference and accommodations is on line at www.tapr.org/dcc.
