Attendance was outstanding—completely full–and the Presentations were excellent!  Special thanks to Jeff Welton from Nautel and Cathy Orosz from SBE for making this possible. Thanks to them and our sponsors/presenters from RCS, Comrex, MaxxKonnect,Dialectric, Orban an American Amplifier Technologies/Shively, this conference was at NO COST for MAB members!
