Im sending this to you because many of you watched us over the past few 
years and wanted to take part again.  Can you please pass this on at your 
club meetings or put it on your websites with a link to the streaming cam? 
We had hundreds of hams thank us last year for bringing them to hamvention 
even when they could not actually attend in person.  It was a lot of fun.

It's back for the 4th year!  Streaming video and audio from Hamvention 2006

"This will be our 4rd year to broadcast live video of  our drive to 
hamvention (550 miles) and then the 3 days outside in the fleamarket. This 
year the helmet cam will be back. It will let people around the world get a 
view of all the things we look at as we walk around.

The streaming cam page also has its own chat room and hams from around the 
world watched, chatted, and enjoyed it the past 3 years.

There are no pop-ups or advertisements. Just something we like to do each 
year and have fun. It lets hams take part in ham radio if they are too far 
away to travel or health does not permit it.

Below I have included some information regarding our schedule and the link 
that people will need to access in case you will put a link on your site. 
Please spread the word to other hams and ham clubs. The more people we have 
on , the more fun we will have.

Streaming Webcast Schedule

We will be broadcasting from the beginning until the end of the show each 
day Friday May 20th through Sunday May 22th from our outside fleamarket 
spaces 3350-3351. Please come by and say hello and wave to your loved ones 
back home.
 The "Helmet Cam"will be back again this year. . You will be able to see 
what we see as we walk around in the fleamarket.


Also watch for us as we convoy from
Memphis, Tn to Dayton, Oh. on WEDNESDAY May 17th and set up our fleamarket 
space on Thursday May 18th.. This is a 550 mile drive and will take us about 
10 hours. We will depart Memphis about 8:00 am CST and arrive Dayton about 
7:00 pm EST. This will be our fourth year to broadcast the drive live. Chat 
with us on the chat screen as we drive. Hams from around the world followed 
our trip and chatted with us last year. Watch us and try to guess where we 
are. After hamvention, we will be broadcasting our drive back home. Watch 
for us Sunday May 21th from about 1:00 pm until about 9:00pm CST.

The site is up and running today and will be on 24 by 7 from now until 
Hamvention.  Please visit it, log in and chat with us and others as we test 
it.  We need you to help stress test it.  We have recorded video running on 
it at the present but will switch over to  live video when we start our 
trip.  Video clips running now are the Tonight show CW vs text messaging, 
news clips of us from local tv stations, The Hamband (A video of a ham in a 
tux and top hat singing a ham song while hanging on his tower at 100 feet, 
Storm chaser videos, and ICOM videos that were taken at Hamvention over a 
couple years.

Thanks, Tom WA5KUB
