TY - CONF T1 - Ham Radio 2.0 - Science, Service, Skill (Keynote Address) T2 - HamSCI Workshop 2019 Y1 - 2019 A1 - H. Ward Silver AB -

Amateur radio sits at the junction of technology, volunteerism, and craft.  Which of those doors by which you enter the world of ham radio - science, service, skill - colors your expectations and interests, often for life.  Yet the technical and demographic changes sweeping through society have not overlooked amateur radio.  The service faces many challenges to long-held traditions and assumptions.  What tools can we provide to not just meet the challenges but prosper, keeping amateur radio vibrant and enjoyable in order to develop our skills and support our fellow citizens, fulfilling our Basis and Purpose along the way?  Speaking from a technical background to a technical audience, we'll consider both our opportunities and obligations to amateur radio writ large while enjoying a chuckle or two, as well.
