Our April meeting in Hobart is fast approaching. With a renaissance on electronic kit building, and proliferation of software defined radios, this month I'm going to be bringing along some of my radio gear to demo some of the ways Linux and Amateur radio cross paths. However any other hams are welcome to come along with some gear and add their demo. I'll also give a rundown of what it takes to get or upgrade your license. We're also starting to rev up the organising of LCA2017, so there will be some talk of things like timeline and what kinds of help the team needs to bring a successful event. So come along to our usual haunt, Hotel SOHO!
