W3SZ Station Automation Website
This
page is a repository for links to slides and papers related to my presentation on Station Automation at the
2017 Pack Rats' Mid-Atlantic VHF and Up Conference. Beginning in section X are useful ancillary links.
The sum total of the talks contained in the seminar has grown sufficiently large that offering a download of the entire symposium's slides as
a single .pdf file is no longer appropriate.
So, instead, only the individual segments of the seminar are available for download. Each segment
is available as a .pdf file, and there is a link to a video for each segment at the end of the file listings for that segment, just
before the horizontal separator bar separating that segment from the following segment. The duration of each video in (mm:ss) is shown immediately after
the link to that video.
I have also started a Station Automation Google Group, and you can if you wish
sign up for this group here.
A .pdf file containing all of the code discussed in the seminar remains available for download. That link
is immediately below.
