The 2009 Summer Digital Conference

Important note: If you plan to attend the 2009 Digital Conference (formally known as the NWAPRS Summer Gathering) to get the latest info on APRS software and equipment, you're coming to the right place, but that information is readily available to you now on the Internet. The real fun from attending a Summer Gathering is the people connection; that is meeting new people with a similar interest in Ham Radio, or re-acquainting yourself with others you've met in the past. We've been doing this for 10 years now in the NWAPRS region, and the comradely, fellowship, visit time, sharing a meal, or whatever you want to call it is the basis for a great weekend at Valley Camp.

For an updated schedule of events, please see http://www.kg7hq.wetnet.net/node/107

Hmmm. Everything is moderated huh?

In that case, revisit the spelling of "comradely" in the main text: comradery.
