Hello Time Nuts, I recently became aware of the NIST Time & Frequency Seminar coming up shortly and looked it up as it sounded interesting (to a time-nut) and is almost in my back yard (well, at least commuting distance). You can check out the web page at http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/seminars/T&Foverview.html. It all sounds very cool, UNTIL YOU CHECK OUT THE PRICE! Sure, I could see $300-$400 (which would still be pretty rich for my budget), but $1900? Obviously our tax dollars are not subsidizing this function. If anyone knows how to procure a discounted registration I would be most interested in hearing from you. Regards, Skip Withrow

Damn I would love to go to that. But the US$1900 would be cheap bikkies compared to my airfare and accommodation! 2009/4/10 Skip Withrow <swithrow@idcomm.com> > > Hello Time Nuts, > > I recently became aware of the NIST Time & Frequency Seminar coming up > shortly and looked it up as it sounded interesting (to a time-nut) and is > almost in my back yard (well, at least commuting distance).

FYI (and FWIW), I think very highly of the NIST T&F seminar. You can't get this education in school and it's an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to get into the precision T&F business. Nowhere else can you have all of these topics organized and presented by the experts in the field. We routinely send all of our new engineers. To your point, though, I'm not aware of any discounts for participants. -RL ---------------- Robert Lutwak, Senior Scientist Symmetricom - Technology Realization Center 34 Tozer Rd.
