Is this thing on?...

Anyway, I am seeking a collaborator or so for an
upcoming event called FYBO which is a (sort of)
winter field day at low power.

This will be 05 Feb (I think) and I can provide
my FT-817 and a couple laptops running TRLog
with which I am somewhat conversant.

I have never operated in this event, so I think
it would be fun.

I have no particular site in mind from which to operate.

Hi Brian,
	Well, I am going to represent the ScQRPions and operate as KQ7RP from
Thunderbird Paseo Park, just off 59th ave North of Beardsly Rd on the back
side of the mountain in the saddle there is a small area with 2 verandas,
concrete tables and benches, some Port-O-Potties and room for antennas.
Usually uninterrupted except for a few hikers who wander though and ask
questions.  I haven't been up there in about a month and am going up today
on my way to lunch just to check out the site again and see if there is any
AC available.  I don't think so but who knows. Last year the site at the
entrance of the park was unused and had all the amenities including AC
available but was not used.  If you are interested, let me know.  I could
use a second op if you just want to operate without dragging out all the
gear of your own or if you would like to operate on one band while I was on
another that would work.  If you want a taste of what it's like to be THE
station of interest, come join me as KQ7RP because my contacts are worth
10000 extra points!  It could get real crowded real quick! ;>)
	Let me know what you decide.  No matter how you operate, its a blast.

Hi Ed,
	Well, as the ScQRPion Club station operator of KQ7RP, I will be sending CQ
FYBO and if memory serves me correctly, last year that is what we all sent.
It keeps the contests apart without confusion.
	This weekend, I will be preparing a "Plan of attack" schedule and operating
tips for new comers and ol' timers as well regarding this contest and
contesting in general for those who might be making this their first effort
into QRP or contesting.  I'll try not to bore/boar everyone to death.  ;>)
CULOTR= See you later on the reflector.

Fellow QRP'ers.  I'm planning on operating in the upcoming FYBO contest; it
sounds like fun.  But what do I listen for?  'CQ FYBO'?  That's a long CQ,
and it could also be mistaken for FY6O in French Guiana.  I'd hate to get
someone all excited only to find out he's talking to this nut sitting in the
woods by himself - in the snow - freezing his butt off.  So that's not a
good idea.  How about 'CQ TEST'?  Which 'test'?  There are so many contests
on a weekend, I might wind up in the wrong contest.  'CQ QRP'?  Possibly,
but it really doesn't indicate a contest station.  So tell me, how DO you
identify yourself as an FYBO'er?  I don't want to wait until the actual day
to find out, because I may be freezing my Brain off instead of my Butt.
(I've been accused of getting the two confused.)

72,
ed - k9ew

At one time, my wife did some volunteer work reading
materials for the blind in a studio (years ago).

There are, in some areas, Pacifica stations which may
still utilize volunteers in some capacities.

There are, in some areas, small community-based stations
which are almost entirely volunteer based.

Free Radio Berkeley is looking for apprentices, for example,
but they are in the SF Bay area, obviously.

I don't know of anything like this or anybody involved in anything
like this in the Phoenix area?

I may have mentioned that a small group did get a LPFM license
in Prescott recently, but so far they have not indicated any interest
in volunteers.

I have worked with local Independent Media in photographing a
few times, but that isn't exactly what I'm thinking about right now
either.

Currently, Free Radio Berkeley is describing low-power TV, at
least on their web page.  Are there low-budget UHF TV stations
which use volunteers?

If anybody has any leads about this kind of thing, please let me
know.

Thanks.
