[HIham] Invitation to EARC DF Educational Workshop

[Ron Hashiro]

Amateur Radio Operators,

The EARC invites you to an education workshop this Saturday at the 
Kapiolani Community College Campus from 9:00 am to 12 noon featuring a 
workshop on Direction Finding and VHF propagation techniques.  This is a 
follow-on to the presentation at the EARC May General Membership meeting 
on DF'ing by Ron, AH6RH, which was well received.

The presenters for this workshop are Ron, AH6RH and Bev, AH6NF.  The 
topic is expanded from the core talk on DF'ing to include related 
topics: a review of VHF propagation (to give adequate discussion of the 
effects of Oahu's terrain and urbanization), the use of maps for 
plotting readings, strategies for effective DF'ing and anecdotes on past 
DF'ing activities.  Time will be set aside to demonstrate and interact 
with DF'ing equipment.

Many thanks to Eric Ty, WH7JE for making the room available.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions.

Ron Hashiro, AH6RH
