[DARARepeater] Maker Fest on Pi Day (Sat, 3/14/15)

[Eric Vinande]

Area Hams,

(I apologize if you receive this message multiple times, as I am trying to
hit all the local email lists at once)

I wanted to extend an invitation to Maker Fest, at the Tec^Edge facility
near the Air Force Museum on Sat, March 14, where we are encouraging the
maker community to demonstrate their projects (e.g. Raspberry Pi, Arduino,
amateur radio, etc), get inspired to make something new, and meet with area
prototyping suppliers and makerspaces.  We are still taking sign-ups for
attendees with or without projects to display (
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/afrl-maker-fest-tickets-15670121756 ).

Please our website ( http://www.afmakerfest.org ) for more details
(location, schedule, etc).

On the amateur radio side, we will have the DARA communications van
operating and an introduction to/demonstration of broadband hamnet (
http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/ ).

MCM Electronics from Springboro (a very popular booth at Hamvention last
year) will also be showing off Raspberry Pi projects, selling supplies, and
has graciously donated door prizes.

I will be demonstrating the reception of slow scan TV images from the
International Space Station (ISS) using RF samples recorded with the
RTL-SDR (software-defined receiver) USB dongle.

Please forward this invitation to other groups/individuals you might think
would be interested.

Also, don't hesitate to ask any questions!

73,
Eric Vinande
