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.
