Presentation to RATPAC 2024-05-08

I did a presentation to the Radio Amateur Training Planning and Activities Committee (RATPAC) weekly videoconference earlier this week. My slide deck was titled:

Tracking Technological Innovation in Amateur Radio - Zero Retries Newsletter.

There were… 20? folks on the live videoconference, but RATPAC’s YouTube channel has 6.2k subscribers, so it’s likely that the “watched” count will grow from the current (as I write this) 36 views. I’m grateful that RATPAC posted the video to YouTube so quickly.
