Hello everyone,
You may have watched us the past couple years. We broadcast live
streaming video and audio of the world’s largest ham radio convention.
It is the Dayton Hamvention in Dayton, Ohio. Hams from all over the
world come to this each year. We are looking forward to broadcasting.
again in just 2 weeks. For now we have recorded video running on our
website. There is also a chat room for hams all over the world to chat
and have fun. We have been viewed in over 150 countries. The site is
active now and you may check it out. The address is http://wa5kub.com
or http://w5kub.com.
When we start our convoy to hamvention we will switch over to live
broadcast. Also please note that our broadcast begins 2 days earlier
than the hamvention. We actually broadcast our drive in the car LIVE for
the 550 miles that we drive from Memphis, Tennessee to Dayton, Ohio.
We also have a "helmet cam" that we wear every where we go. That means
you see us when we go to eat, when we stop for gas or just about
everything. The broadcast is live 24 hours a day at hamvention as we set
up outside in the flea market. If you can’t go, have your ham friends
come by our spaces 3350-3351 and wave back to you. It will be fun.
Please spread the word to everyone. Here is our schedule:
Begin the convoy to hamvention on Wednesday May 14 at 1300 GMT or
0800 AM Central time. It is a 10 hour drive. We set up our flea market
spaces at hamvention on Thursday May 15 at approx 1400 GMT. The
hamvention begins on Friday morning May 16, and we drive back to Memphis
after
hamvention ends on Sunday May 18.
Remember you can go to http://wa5kub.com or http://w5kub.com right
now and chat with other hams around the world and watch some recorded
videos of hamfest. Also see lots of ham radio pictures at

I hope to see you at hamvention.
73, Tom W5KUB
