Thanks, David. I dare say that most SWLfest attendees (not just the
radio pirates) would probably find the HOPE conference a very
interesting experience. There are radio-related talks among the many
topics. And yes, I wasn't trying promote it here, I was merely
pointing out that I learned a lot about bringing interesting
presenters to conferences over the years there, which has helped me
bring well-received presenters and exhibitors to the SWLfest. I plan
to do more of that next year!
Cheers,
-Ed Cummings

Well, I think many of the pirates who come to the Fest may feel they
do have some things in common philosophically and even operationally
with hackers. Alan Weiner, one of the most notable radio pirates and
a past attendee of the FEST has appeared at HOPE. I also don't see
that Ed was promoting HOPE as much as he was alluding to his
experience and expertise in helping to stage the event. Again, their
FAQ contains a broader definition of hacking than you allude to.
