[HCARC] ARRL Slideshow Availability and Kudo's To Linda Ransom

[Marilyn Vordenbaum]

I understand Linda was searching for some help.  She shared her thoughts 
with me and the best I could do was agree with her thoughts of presentation 
and refer her to Terry, HCARC President.  I also suggested she ask Dale 
Gaudier if he still had some informational brochures that had been used in 
the classes he taught.  It would have been good if more notice had been 
given for such a presentation.  The club probably needs to have additional 
materials printed for future events such as this.  Sam Jones and Calvin 
Noble have each had some business cards created that state some meeting and 
contact information related to HCARC.

I'm really glad Linda was able to "do the deal".  She's a smart lady!

There are some books at the station that are in the form of a "comic book" 
presentation.  They are really designed for children but we are all children 
at heart.  They are fun and colorful, very easy to read and understand.  I 
will show them to you at the next meeting.

Gary, if my memory serves me correctly, there are several items at N5HR 
station in the way of visual presentations that could be used for such a 
meeting.  They are clear and straight to the point.  For a group as large as 
you mentioned, the visual presentation might be difficult to show at the 
location you mentioned.

I think it is important that the new officers and the new executive 
committee discuss some of this and be ready in the future when such a 
request is made.  It sounds like there might be some serious interest in ham 
radio.  We need to be prepared.

Hopefully this little bit of information will help.

Last Thursday night Linda Ransom gave a pretty darn good presentation on Ham 
Radio, especially since she was called upon by the Kerr County Preppers 
group with only 3 days to prepare.  She deserves a whole pile full of 
tickets come the February meeting.

However, we seem to have wetted the appetite of some of the Preppers for Ham 
radio information.  Do we have an already prepared slide show that can be 
used for a rpesentation to one of their next meetings??  There were over 100 
people jammed into Buzzies BBQ meeting room and almost every seat was taken. 
They are a bunch of people just thirsting for both knowledge and direction.

Please let me know about any slide show you know about.  I did email ARRL to 
see what they have, but have not heard back from them.  Something has to 
exist somewhere.

BTW, minutes of the meeting will be along probably Monday afternoon or 
evening.  My one computer with a Word Processing program is getting 
"cleaned" by the good folks at Omniglobal (WCC.net).
