I'm coordinating the amateur radio activity at this conference. <br><br><a href="https://ims-ieee.org/" target="_blank">https://ims-ieee.org/</a><br><br>We have food, drink, and a very beautiful outdoor venue on the Tuesday evening of that week.<br><br>I am looking for people that want to share their work and have a blast meeting amateur radio enthusiasts from around the world. <br><br>I've written about this opportunity a couple of times over the past year, and gotten good response from the maker and hacker and nontraditional ham communities. We have information from ARRL, GLAARG presentations, DEFCON, a BlueTooth CTF, satellite operations, and open source demonstrations lined up. <br><br>However - I've gotten nothing from SDMG, SBMS, or 50 MHz and Up. <br><br>Like, nothing. At all. <br><br>I'm here to help you show off your work at an event that has been super friendly to ham radio for many years and has been back in-person as of 2021. <br><br>Those of you that have worked with me at ARRL, GNU Radio, Maker Faire, and IEEE events know I have your back and make it fun.<br><br>Maybe it's COVID, maybe it's Maybelline, but I'm here for all of you and so far have not gotten the interest I expected. <br><br>I *very much* want to show off your work, your rig, and your practical radio expertise. <br><br>A table at the ham radio social for CACTUS? Sure, why not? <br><br>A table for contesters to show off your rig? Yes, we can do that. <br><br>Contests on site? Demonstrations? Yes, we can do that. The venue is outdoors, spacious, and is right near the water. <br><br>Please get in touch. San Diego is a super fun place for this conference. I'm so happy it's accessible to us and I want us - amateur experimenters and operators - to be well represented.<br><br>Please forward to anyone you think needs to know about this opportunity at IMS2023. <br><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">-Michelle Thompson<br>858 229 3399<br><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
