Dayton 2013: Contest University

Contest Radio Performance

By Rob Sherwood, NC0B

For the 5th year in a row, Rob was invited to give a presentation on transceiver performance at Contest University.

This year the presentation was streamed over the Internet, giving me my first opportunity ever to actuall watch his presentation. This is even better than listening to the audio files.

The downside is, there probably won't be any audio files available. The video file is simply too huge to publish on the internet. For that reason we only have Rob's slides.
