[600MRG] 630m and 2200m at Hamcom 2018 in Plano, Texas

[John Langridge]

Greetings all -

I will be hosting two sessions at Hamcom, Friday (2pm) and Saturday (9am),
June 8 and 9, at the Plano Event Center in Plano, Texas, in the Dallas-Fort
Worth area.

The sessions will run 50 minutes and will be presented in two parts.  I
will spend 15 or 20 minutes briefly discussing some of the goings-on since
we last convened in June 2017 including "opening weekend" and some of the
on-air highlights for both bands which are still accruing in some cases.
Many of these highlights, specifically those for 630m, have already been
covered in my daily reports in probably more detail than I will give at the
forum.

The second portion will be a free-form Q&A and open discussion intended to
answer practical questions related to getting on the air and finding some
degree of success on both bands.  I did this last year for two sessions and
it went very well.  Often times a single question can send the session down
a rabbit hole that answers a lot of questions and takes the entire allotted
time to respond.  I am also planning at the moment to bring a couple of
"show and tell" items.

There will be no dedicated survey presentation this year unlike previous
years, which is basically the 50 cent tour but several of my presentations
from previous years are available on the Internet as well as the very
excellent 630m presentation by NO3M given at the Dayton antenna forum can
be viewed and his slides downloaded at http://no3m.net/.

73,

John KB5NJD..
