Hello Andy,
My Shreveport Amateur Radio group meets
in the public library here in town. Most semi-large cities have a decent
library and many have modern multi-media capabilities in their meeting rooms.
You might get lucky and see if your group might meet you there at whatever they
have at your library. You have little to lose and might even be surprised.

Demostrating digital modes without lots of equipment ?
Back in the dark ages, when PSK31 was very new, I was on the
regional talk-circuit giving talks/demos about the
new digital
mode. I spoke to many radio clubs and would
literally take most of
my shack with me. HF radio, desktop PC,
monitor, antenna and more.
This got to be a pain, or rather putting my
station back together
got to be a pain. Getting those cables and
settings "just right",
took some time.
Another club has contacted me and wants me to give
a talk on PSK31
in April. I will probably say
"yes" but I am wondering if anyone
here has suggestions for doing an
interesting/entertaining
presentation with mimimal equipment?
A couple of clubs arranged large screen TVs
and PC to video
projectors , but I can't expect this of most
clubs. I'm thinking
along the lines of a CD of digital mode MP3 files
and a laptop PC.
Perhaps a DVD of me operating in my shack, showing
the modes that
way. I am guessing someone has already
"been there done that ", so
I'll take suggestions.
