ARVN has released a new 6-DVD set of videos from the ARRL and TAPR 2009 
Digital Communications Conference, held last September near Chicago.

This year's conference didn't have as much D-STAR info as the 2008 DCC did. 
Tom Azlin N4ZPT has a presentation on using the DD mode and ID1's at the 
Marine Corps Marathon, and John Ronan EI7IG has been experimenting with 
what he calls "Delay and Disruption Tolerant Networking in AX.25 and DSTAR 
Networks."

Other topics presented include: equipment design and construction, Software 
Designed Radio, AMSAT/ARISSat, packet, advanced APRS, and Digital ATV. It's 
all interesting, but I found the Digital ATV presentations to be 
particularly new and intriguing.

The six DVDs are organized around common topics. Each DVD has several 
presentations, and most presentations run about 45 minutes (good for club 
meeting programs, if your club leans a bit technical).

You can buy individual DVDs covering the area you're interested in for $15 
each (+ $3 shipping), or the whole set for $75 (but still just $3 
shipping).  The DVDs are produced in NTSC standard definition video.

And a reminder that DVDS of the D-STAR presentations at the 2008 and 2009 
Dayton Hamventions are also available. If you find yourself hungry for more 
D-STAR information, these DVDs should help fill you up (or at least keep 
you busy for a day).
