Several forums will be video live-streamed on the internet.

The keynote speaker will be David Sumner, K1ZZ, Chief Executive Officer of ARRL.

Special Event Station W2HRU will be on-the-air at various times on 7.250 and 14.250 +/- QRM the week prior to the event and on psk31 on 14.070 @ 1000hz center +/- qrm 1400-1930 UTC the day of the event, January 10th.
