The 2024 ARRL National Convention is just 3 weeks away, on May 17 -- 19, 2024.
The event is being hosted by Dayton Hamvention in Xenia, Ohio.

ARRL has a significant amount of technical content planned for the convention
program. (see the full rundown at www.arrl.org/expo[1]). There are also
presentations planned to challenge and inspire attendees throughout each step
of a radio amateur's journey in the world of wireless communication technology.

Calling All Technicians �

"Beyond Repeaters: See How Far Your Tech License Will Take You" will be an
exciting presentation from ARRL Digital RF Engineer John McAuliffe, KD2ZWN, who
will be at the convention representing the ARRL Laboratory. Geared for
Technician class hams, attendees will explore all that can be done within
Technician class privileges. (Hint: it's a lot!) �

McAuliffe will lead an engaging discussion that will focus on three main areas:
UHF use and potential projects and activities that can be enjoyed beyond 70
centimeters; 10-meter digital modes, satellite, and long-range communications;
and HF CW privileges including a short guide on how to build your own CW
encoder/decoder. �

Build Your Ham Community �

Amateur radio clubs can be a driving force for getting people licensed and
keeping them engaged. In "Tips for Successful Radio Clubs", ARRL Field Services
Manager Mike Walters, W8ZY, will share some of the best practices that can be
learned from high performing ARRL Affiliated Clubs. �

This forum will include a discussion of ideas and opportunities for radio clubs
that are seeking growth and greater member participation. Topics will include
recruitment, licensing, training, engagement, and leadership development.
These forums are part of the 2024 ARRL National Convention track. Plan your
must-see presentations using the ARRL Events app. Find the app in your devices'
app store or at this link[2]. �
