Description

Deep Dives offered this year are:

* HF University (All Day): HF University will give you the strategies, techniques, and resources to make contacts beyond the range of the local repeaters.

* Wire Wizardry: Multi-Band Magic with SimNec (Morning Session): HF without the hassle: smarter wire antennas and stronger signals, or as a wise person once said “From Tangle to Triumph: Designing Killer HF Wire Antennas”.

* Intro to Digital Voice Modes (D-STAR, DMR and YSF) (Morning Session): Join John Betz in exploring the background of D-STAR, DMR and Yaesu System Fusion. We will look at options for personal operations, DMR-focused hotspot setup, more D-STAR and YSF info, and portable operations.

* National Weather Service SKYWARN® Training (Afternoon Session): The course will focus on the program’s background, how to report conditions, and most important, what to watch for so that your reports are accurate. You’ll learn how to distinguish between true severe-weather indicators and similar features that look like the real deal but aren’t.

More details about each Deep Dive is available on the main DCHF website.
