[Elecraft] Dayton comment

2007-05-21 Thread BROOKER Jim


It was great fun volunteering at the Elecraft booth at Dayton this 
year.  Great to hang out with the Elecraft team and lots of fun talking 
to the throngs of people who came by to see, touch or talk about the 
K3.  Of course, while there, I just HAD to order a K3!!


I'd been perusing Steve Ford's blog on the ARRL website.  Friday 
morning right after Hara Arena opened, the DS3 broadband to Hara 
crashed and didn't come back up.  It was a challenge for people like 
Steve trying to upload bits to the Internet.  Gave him a couple of tips 
on free WiFi spots in the area when he came by the Elecraft booth on 
Saturday.  He wanted me to stand next to the K3 and give him about 30 
seconds of video/audio on the K3 to publish to the ARRL blog.  I 
pointed him to Wayne Burdick.


When I got back to the QRP hotel, I checked out the blog and he'd 
already posted the K3 with a photo and a link to Wayne's live demo.


See you (all) next year!

73,

Jim NG8E

Try cellular internet.  Works great.  Most of the cellular companies 
have it. I use the Verizon version of it and it works FB.  I can use 
it while travelling down the interstate (in the passenger seat).

I get 100 kb/s on my Sprint Treo 650, good enough for some purposes. 
But you get tired typing with the tiny keyboard!

Your Treo 650 can act like a Bluetooth modem to a laptop, then you can type
on that keyboard instead.  I think the 700p will do this also, and at at a
much faster rate.
