Im sending this to you because many of you watched us over the past few
years and wanted to take part again.  Can you please pass this on at
your club meetings or put it on your websites with a link to the
streaming cam?  We had hundreds of hams thank us last year for bringing
them to hamvention even when they could not actually attend in person.
It was a lot of fun.

 

It's back for the 4th year!  Streaming video and audio from Hamvention
2006  http://wa5kub.com

 

"This will be our 4rd year to broadcast live video of  our drive to
hamvention (550 miles) and then the 3 days outside in the fleamarket.
This year the helmet cam will be back. It will let people around the
world get a view of all the things we look at as we walk around. 

The streaming cam page also has its own chat room and hams from around
the world watched, chatted, and enjoyed it the past 3 years. 

There are no pop-ups or advertisements. Just something we like to do
each year and have fun. It lets hams take part in ham radio if they are
too far away to travel or health does not permit it. 

Below I have included some information regarding our schedule and the
link that people will need to access in case you will put a link on your
site.  Please spread the word to other hams and ham clubs. The more
people we have on , the more fun we will have.  

Streaming Webcast Schedule 

We will be broadcasting from the beginning until the end of the show
each day Friday May 20th through Sunday May 22th from our outside
fleamarket spaces 3350-3351. Please come by and say hello and wave to
your loved ones back home. 

 The "Helmet Cam"will be back again this year. . You will be able to see
what we see as we walk around in the fleamarket. 



Also watch for us as we convoy from 

Memphis, Tn to Dayton, Oh. on WEDNESDAY May 17th and set up our
fleamarket space on Thursday May 18th.. This is a 550 mile drive and
will take us about 10 hours. We will depart Memphis about 8:00 am CST
and arrive Dayton about 7:00 pm EST. This will be our fourth year to
broadcast the drive live. Chat with us on the chat screen as we drive.
Hams from around the world followed our trip and chatted with us last
year. Watch us and try to guess where we are. After hamvention, we will
be broadcasting our drive back home. Watch for us Sunday May 21th from
about 1:00 pm until about 9:00pm CST. 

 

The link is http://wa5kub.com

 

 

The site is up and running today and will be on 24 by 7 from now until
Hamvention.  Please visit it, log in and chat with us and others as we
test it.  We need you to help stress test it.  We have recorded video
running on it at the present but will switch over to  live video when we
start our trip.  Video clips running now are the Tonight show CW vs text
messaging, news clips of us from local tv stations, The Hamband (A video
of a ham in a tux and top hat singing a ham song while hanging on his
tower at 100 feet, Storm chaser videos, and ICOM videos that were taken
at Hamvention over a couple years. 

Thanks, Tom WA5KUB

Hello KL7.

Name here is Ron, AH6RH.  Jane, KC2OBS, a coded tech in New York
is looking for KH6 and KL6 on 40m this Sunday to wrap up a year's
effort in getting WAS.

I'll be on 7.110 +/- QRM with Jane around 05:15Z tonight to try to
give her KH6.

If there's some CW'ers, especially those who like to work the
Novice band, stop by and give her a hand.
