[GVARC] Drivearoundtheworld.com needs training

Thu, 03 Apr 2003 17:27:10 -0800

Hi Guys,

Drive Around the world, a Non-Profit, based in Los Gatos, and led by Nick 
Baggerly, will be leaving in October on an expedition around the world.
Nick is already licensed, but needs to find a South Bay area rapid training 
course to get principals of the expedition also licensed, preferably to a 
general class level. They will be carrying ham radio.  They are also looking 
for a seasoned APRS'er to select and install a suite of APRS equipment for 
tracking their 9 month journey.
I hope to get Nick to come to the Visalia DX convention to speak informally 
about the ham aspects.  If your radio club needs a speaker, Nick is a great 
one.
Their expeditions are covered extensively at these two websites.

Also, Nick is inviting guests to share 2 week slices of the 
experience,(FREE, if you are selected) you only have to pay your way to/from 
your pickup/dropoff points.
Write a good proposal for a beneficial project on a 2 week leg, and you 
might be chosen to participate.
Call Nick at (408) 354-3289
or (408) 316-3996   or email him at [email protected]
