About 70 folks made it to the DSTARInfoCon even with it being Easter weekend. And about 70 folks staggered away, full of all sorts of new D-STAR information. From the beginners to the advanced, there were classes to be enjoyed by everyone.
First, I'd like to thank the instructors who did this out of the goodness of their heart.

John Davis – WB4QDX |
Rob Hoppe – KI4SBT |

And all of the participants who made the trek. I believe that we had 5 states represented!
3 of our presenters attended without being there. David, Pete, and Mark all were remote presenters, spread across the country and joining us either with D-STAR or Web Meeting.
