The holding of an amateur radio license is NOT a prerequisite - we can point you in that direction if you like - under current FCC Rules and Regulations it's gotten a whole lot easier, and proficiency in Morse code is no longer a requirement.<br /> <br /> The International Space Station is in orbit and manned - with Amateur call signs RZ3DZR/DL01SS/NA1SS assigned to Station Alpha. The crew is on the air on both 2 meters and 70 cm with voice and packet operations;<br /> and HF operations are in the works. <br /> <br /> There is literally a whole constellation of ham related satellites up there to work, most currently in LEO (Low Earth Orbit), with even plans for a Geosynchronous Orbit bird - - dozens available during each 24 hour pass over the Houston area. We can fill you in on all the details and <br /> point you in the proper direction.<br /> <br /> SIG Leader: <a href="mailto:jwm@hal-pc.org">John Moore</a><br /> <br /> 21 5 2013 Tuesday http://hal-pc.org/calendar/cal_popup.php?id=13694 19:00 Build or Buy a Computer SIG Have fun while learning & sharing the PC build experience!

We also cover aspects of SQL Server, user-defined functions, stored procedures, views and table design that developers deal with. Because of the difficulty of learning from lecture style workshops, we have changed the format to a more hands-on approach. We ask that you bring your notebook in with you to work through the examples with us.

The International Space Station is in orbit and manned - with Amateur call signs RZ3DZR/DL01SS/NA1SS assigned to Station Alpha. The crew is on the air on both 2 meters and 70 cm with voice and packet operations;
and HF operations are in the works.

There is literally a whole constellation of ham related satellites up there to work, most currently in LEO (Low Earth Orbit), with even plans for a Geosynchronous Orbit bird - - dozens available during each 24 hour pass over the Houston area. We can fill you in on all the details and
point you in the proper direction.

or thinking about starting to use Linux.

Switching to Linux requires a bit of relearning, just as switching
from Windows XP to Windows 7 requires some relearning. But once you
get started, Linux is easier to use than Windows. If you think you
have to compile software yourself or learn to use the command line,
then you haven't seen Linux in the last few years.

Discussions are directed by the questions of the participants, and
typically include:

  • How to get started with Linux
  • Which distributions are best for beginners
  • Installing Linux while still keeping Windows available
  • How to install software (it's easier than Windows!)
  • How to get support

And any questions that you bring.
