Many of you have watched us over the past 5 years broadcast the
Dayton Hamvention and last year the Huntsville Hamfest.

Live hamfest video this coming weekend August 17-19

We will be broadcasting again live video and audio of the 2007
Huntsville, AL hamfest this year via the internet.  The live
broadcast begins on Friday morning Aug 17 at 0800 cst as we
depart Memphis, Tn and head for Huntsville.  Just as we have
done before, we will be broadcasting our drive live from the car.
We expect hams to be taking part in the Huntsville hamfest from
all over the world.  Hams will be able to join in with a real
time chat room while they are watching the video.  Video
quality should be many times better than past hamfests that we
have broadcast as we have a new high speed cam uplink.  Then
from there, the video is streamed on our high speed server
which has unlimited bandwidth to our viewers.  In addition to
our live video page, you will also see a link that takes you to
a page that shows a world map and on it you will see where all
the virtual visitors are located.  Watch as the helmet cam takes
you on a virtual tour of all the tables and booths there.

Also watch many activities such as the ARRL nation convention
and the Young Ham of The Year, to mention just a few.  If you
can not be there in person go to http://wa5kub.com  and join in
all the fun.

Please help pass this information on to all hams and clubs.

Thanks,

Tom Medlin,  WA5KUB
