Hello fellow Elecraftians (or is it Elecraftors?),
I have been on a crusade to introduce new hamsto HF. We just finished our "beta" events in Winnipeg, MB and Framingham, MA... The idea is teach non-hams/new hams about HF, and let them experience some QSOs. We all did it as youngsters at Field Day... Well, this is pretty darn easy to do -- at a club meeting or convention -- via remote. No dealing with compromise antennas. So, this year at Dayton, we will have four HF Stations set up (using remotes).. Three are K3/0 Minis, and we we will have one Flex Maestro. We hope that newbies/non-HF ops/non-licensed folks will stop by and make a QSO or two. I have an online reservation system at http://hfradio.rocks. If you know someone who would like to give it a go, and they are coming to Dayton, have them sign up. We have a bunch of ops lined up to staff the stations, as Elmers. If you want to spend an hour or so helping us out, please email me of list to gerry at w1ve.com. Where will be be connecting? Some pretty nice stations! W7RN W1KM VE4EA VY1AAA SK3W K1TTT K9CT We will be operating mainly SSB, but will do some RTTY and CW if anyone asks. (and yes, we do have a good, wired, internet connection.) The remote-side gear is being provided by private hams who are part of this event. Bob Heil is supplying us with headsets. Stop by and say hello or offer your help! 73, Gerry Hull, W1VE/VE1RM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
