[Elecraft] Superfest 2002--The Presentations

[Rod N0RC]

Folks,

Superfest is SAT 20-Jul, just 3 days away!

This year we offer three interesting presentations:

Al, K0FRP from CQC will be presenting a overview of PSK-31, how it
works, its characteristics and how to get started with this exciting
and fun mode.

Adding to the PSK-31 excitement is James, KI0KN he will tell us about
his efforts working Satellite PSK!! This is a fun activity for you
Homebrewers, much of the equipment James is using is
homemade/converted commercial gear.

Need a portable light weight antenna that breaks down and travels
easy? Take in Jerry's (W0MC) presentation. Before your very eyes he
will build a buddipole antenna! This was a popular presentation last
year so we asked Jerry to do it again.

Looking for a new approach to portable operation. Bruce, KG0SH, will
show off his Trek 2300 bicycle, complete with FT-817, amp, battery
pack and antenna!!! A great way to enjoy ham radio and get some
exercise too.

                        * * *

On a more impromptu note we will have the QRP Corner set up to
accommodate the presenters before and after their presentations. The
QRP Corner will also be available for anybody who wishes to show up
and show off their latest creation. We will have a few K2s from
Elecraft available for inspection; some with, some without the 100W
KPA100 amp. A few K1s will also be present for inspection.

I am bringing a K2, NorCal BLT, Small Wonder Labs Rock-Mite, and my
NorCal 20 (over the years I have made many mods to my NC20, and it is
one of my favorite monoband rigs)

What have you got? Why not bring it along and show it off?

Hope to see you SAT 20-JUL, more Superfest info is at:
