We'll start the meeting covering monthly business of the IEEE MOVE Radio Club before hearing our speaker, Kay Savetz, K6KJN

The Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications (DLARC) is a project of the Internet Archive, which finds and preserves the rich history of radio and communications. DLARC collects resources related to amateur radio, satellite communications, television, shortwave radio, pirate radio, experimental communications, and related communications.  In the few years since the project launched, DLARC has preserved thousands of magazines and journals, manuals, product catalogs, radio programs, and conference proceedings. These materials were scattered worldwide, often inaccessible and in obsolete formats. The DLARC digitized material that was on paper, cassette tape, reel-to-reel tape, CD-ROMs, DVDs. It also digitized video from 16mm film, VHS, U-Matic, Betacam and even more obscure video formats.  This collection of more than 223,000 items — 26 TB of data — is openly available to the world. Researchers, academics, and hobbyists use the library to learn from the rich history of this 100-year-old hobby.

All are welcome.
