                        INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE
   
   You are cordially invited to the 2016 New England Workshop on
   Software Defined Radio (NEWSDR 2016), which is the sixth installment
   of an annual series of symposium and workshop events organized by
   the Boston SDR User Group (SDR-Boston).
   
   This year, NEWSDR will be held at Northeastern University (NEU),
   and consists of a day-long symposium on Friday, as well as several
   hands-on workshops the evening before on Thursday. You are welcome
   to attend either or both events, which are entirely free.
   
   Attendance is typically about 100 people, and attendees are from
   both academia and industry.
