Presentations:
Frank Keeney, Discussion on the world record set at the Third Annual Wi-Fi
Shootout at the Defcon conference in Las Vegas. This year a new 802.11b
distance record was set at 125 miles. I'll show detailed Google Earth (and
other) maps of the successful and unsuccessful locations that they attempted
and why they did and did not work. Detailed hardware discussion, more photos
and news of the event. I'll show the "high definition" version of the
popular online video from

Trevor Marshall, PhD,
http://www.trevormarshall.com holds the Australian
Amateur Radio distance record set back in 1964 of about 105.5 miles set (by
voice) on the ultra-high frequency of 576 MHz amateur band. The record still
stands, as the 576MHz band was lost to amateur use soon after that.
He'll present information on long-range propagation and FCC rules. He'll
also explore the techniques of building long distance links and their
affects on data timing in transmission and reception. This will be an
enlightening presentation for those wanting to discuss and learn about how
to build reliable long distance wireless links.
