[K3VOA] Speakers and Interests

[Daniel Maxwell]

I think this is a good idea, Kim,
I also think we could have topics lined up for at least 3 months. It helps to plan. 
- News & trends related to Amateur Radio worldwide be given at each meeting. 
- Trip reports as have been done in the past
- Equipment reviews
- Invite elder K3VOA people back for old time stories
- For new or non-licensed people, tips on getting a license or when and where to take the tests

I think Kim's idea of actually doing some communicating from the Ham club meeting is great. For me, attending and then leaving, I didn't see much in action except a few demos. It is partly my fault for not making it up there during other lunches or time off. Still some actual long distance communications is thrilling.

Perhaps some of our meetings could be geared to both members and to non-members from throughout the building.


One possibility would to bring anyone who is interested up to the shack to see a trans-Atlantic QSO -- probably one that we have pre-arranged.


Or a QSO with a federal facility elsewhere in the USA.  Maybe a military base amateur station.


If conditions are bad, there is almost always activity on 20M PSK31 to demonstrate.

Hi All,

I'm looking for suggestions on what people would like to hear about or do at our monthly meetings.  We can use that info to try and get in appropriate speakers or develop appropriate demos or other activities.  I'd also like to hear any other ideas for making our monthly meetings more interesting.  You can send your suggestions directly to me or send them on the mail list, as you prefer.

73,
Gerhard
