DL by Miroslav Skoric - Environment Monitoring and Amateur Radio
This talk includes discussion and possible display of technical devices that can be additionally added to the basic radio-relay configuration ‘in the field’, such as environmental-monitoring sensors or more complex instruments (E.g. weather stations) that inform mobile radio amateurs about weather conditions at the “other end of the road” –without any need for commercial media sources & infrastructure (TV broadcast, cell phone towers, etc.) This topic may be also of interest for agrarian-meteorology, soil science, food production, etc. as well as for members of IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society.
Besides the talk, there will be a workshop ‘in the field’ featuring a team of students who walk around the campus, carrying a handheld ham radio station equipped with a GNSS (GPS) receiver. The second team remains in the lab, trying to receive radio signals (and position) sent by the first team.

Teaching experience includes classes in local high-school amateur radio clubs; technical paper presentations in domestic and international events; tutorials & workshops on the amateur radio in engineering education, magazine/journal articles, and ~200 pages in five book chapters (IGI Global, Springer).
He had been actively engaged as a volunteer speaker offering self-sponsored visiting tours to India and other countries. Radio instruments & accessory travel with him to provide practical demo and experimentation. He is an active promoter of ham radio communications among students & teachers at University of Novi Sad, Serbia and elsewhere. Social activities through membership in IEEE Communications Society (incl. RCC and CNOM), IEEE Computer Society (incl. TCCC and TCSP), IEEE Education Society, IEEE Antenna and Propagation Society, ARRL (USA), RSGB (UK), RAC (Canada), and others.
