[HIham] Ham radio display/demonstration -- Oahu, Oct. 25

[Ralph Toyama]

The 14th annual Leeward Community College Family Fun & Craft Fair will 
be held on Saturday, October 25th, from 9 am to 2 pm.  This event 
features games, food, crafts, entertainment, and interactive educational 
activities.

This year, the committee in charge of the educational activities has 
asked me to put together an amateur radio activity.  We'll have a couple 
of tables and a bunch of chairs, under a tent on a grassy courtyard.  
I've asked for electricity, and a spot where we can put antennas up.  
We'll be one of about a dozen educational activities running 
continuously over the five hours.  The audience will primarily be young 
children and their parents.

I'm looking for hams willing to come down and spend a few hours talking 
to the public and conducting demonstrations.  I'm also looking for 
equipment, ideas, and display materials.  I'd also welcome brochures 
from ham clubs that I could give out.

If anyone is willing to participate in this activity, or has any 
questions, or has ideas to share, please contact me at the e-mail 
address shown in the signature file below, or call me at my office at 
455-0682.
