Sean,
John Ackermann, N8UR has posted his RBN presentation to his website @
www.febo.com under the Technical Pages tab.
Michael Davis, KB1JEY has posted his presentation @ the Packrats Mt Airy VHF
Radio Club website.
While I am at it I would like to thank all the presenters for making the
VHF/UHF/Microwave forum a success.
The VHF+ Reverse Beacon Network.

As I mentioned during the forum I am petitioning the forum committee for
more time in 2019 and an additional time slot for a VHF101 (VHF Beginners
Forum) to be held at a different time than the VHF/UHF/Microwave Forum.
Thanks again to the presenters and those who attended.

Do you have more info about this potential VHF+ RBN? Seems like it might be
interesting.
