The Technical Program is the meat of the conference.  Topics will vary from basics to in-depth and across the spectrum of interests to CSVHFS members.  This year, we were treated to the following presentations:

Paul Shuch, N6TX             Electromagnetic Spectrum Basics
Ev Tupis, W2EV             Transatlantic on 2m
Andrew Flowers, K0SM/2   Laser Communications - Beyond Line-of-Sight
Steve Kavanagh, VE3SMA   Antenna Heights for 6m Sporadic E
Paul Wade, W1GHZ   Multi-Band Feeds for Dishes
Ev Tupis, W2EV              HamIM - Contest and µWave Liason
Ken Oelke, VE6AFO   Moonbounce Basics
Bill Burgess, VE3CRU           Getting Started in VHF/UHF
Gerald Youngblood, AC5OG
And Bob McGwier, N4HY       Software Defined Radios - The Future is Now
Al Katz, K2UYH                      EME - Digital Communications
Emil Pocock, W3EP                Backscatter over the Atlantic
Dave Olean, K1WHS              K1WHS Contest Station Upgrades
Jon Jones, N0JK                    Sept./Oct. 2003 Tropo/F2/AU Openings
Mark Hoffman, K2AXX            VHF Contesting from Diff Parts of the Country
Steve Kostro, N2CEI              MOSFET Hybrid Modules
Barry Malowanchuk, VE4MA  Broadband Over Powerline and Interference

Andy Flowers, KØSM.  His talk about laser communications beyond visual range using cloud-bounce was fascinating.  Incidentally, for 10GHz rain-scatter coordination, you'll want to try his Rainscatter!  Software.
