[CTSARA] Projects and Activites: An Idea and Informal Survey

[Franklyn A. Ballentine, jr]

I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about this.  Heck, I'm not
sure emailing both lists at once is a good idea, but here goes...

As some of you may or may not know, I've been wanting to get more
group\local projects and activities going, especially on subjects that
don't seem to get a lot of attention.  Few Saturdays ago, a meeting
was held concerning this at Wilson's BBQ.  I do apologize again for
the short notice but i though it was a good start.  I definitely would
like to do it again and take over another fine dining establishment in
the area.

I haven't been a ham for long and please don't take this as rude, but
things seem slow.  Please correct me if I'm off base.  I guess what
I'm aiming at is a way to increase activity.  Can't raise interest in
this fine hobby\service if the current crowd isn't doing much (besides
community service) right?

One other thing I'd like to throw out there is just an informal survey
of interests\topics relating to what's above;

Ham radio in the schools
Microwave
Satellite
D-Star
Packet
Other digital modes (DominoEX on FM for example)
Wifi and other high speed networking technologies (Microwave
Engineering Project for one or whatever can be snagged of Ebay)
VoIP (Echolink, IRLP, Asterisk & app_rpt \ communication interoperability)
One beer and\or Fanta projects
VHF+ weak signal
Bending equipment to the will of the ham
SDRs
Other

So thanks for your time,
who's in?
and don't hurt me.
