Hello SBARC Members and Friends,
SBARC ATVSIG promotes the use of specialized modes. Here’s an opportunity to learn about them...
We support Steve Long and the UCSB Amateur Radio Club in their endeavors this school year. I’m sure they’d enjoy you stopping by for this interesting meeting. - Rod Fritz, WB9KMO

We will have the first meeting of the ARC at UCSB on Nov 8, Friday, 1-2pm. Location: Harold Frank Hall, room 4164 (ECE conference room).
Jon Suen is our presenter.
Title: Ham Radio Digital Modes
Digital communication has been a part of ham radio from the very beginning, with the use of Morse Code. However in the past few years, the power of computers and the Internet has led to an explosion of digital modes and activity. Simply by connecting a computer's sound card to a radio and downloading a program, one can experiment with a new digital mode, like PSK-31, or easily use an older mode like RTTY or SSTV. Modes exist that transmit text, digital voice, images and binary files. A novel mode is WSPR, which transmits at rates of seconds per bit, and enables milliwatt-level communication over HF.
In this talk I discuss the many types of digital modes found in HF radio, what is necessary to get started, and will conduct a live demo at the [UCSB] club station.
Hello Rod,
Many thanks for the invitation. I look forward to attending.
I see where Harold Frank Hall is located on this map: http://goo.gl/maps/T5Xbi. However, being a bit unfamiliar with that region of the UCSB campus, I'm wondering where the best place to park might be? Do you believe there may be space in the lot to the west at that time of day? Or is UCSB Parking Lot 10 to the NW a better choice? What's involved in obtaining a paid parking permit?
Best regards, Bob
