[KL7AA] AMATEUR RADIO'S PUBLIC SERVICE STORY IS NOW AVAILABLE ON VIDEO!

[John Wolfe]

Folks,

This is a copy of an article from the weekly ARRL letter, and I thought you
would like to take a look at this.  I downloaded the file and it's about a 6
minute video (70 MB).  I thought Walter Cronkite did a good job with it,
holds your attention, timely, etc.  Would be a good presentation video for
recruiting hams.

==>AMATEUR RADIO'S PUBLIC SERVICE STORY IS NOW AVAILABLE ON VIDEO!

An updated Amateur Radio Today video now is available for free downloading
from the ARRL Web site <http://www.arrl.org/ARToday/>. The MPEG-format
file is 70 Mbytes.

Narrated by former CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite, KB2GSD, Amateur
Radio Today showcases the public service contributions made by hams
throughout the country. Highlights include ham radio's response on
September 11, 2001, ham radio's part in helping various agencies respond
to last year's wildfires in the Western US, and ham radio-in-space
educational initiatives. Directed by Dave Bell, W6AQ, Amateur Radio Today
was written by Alan Kaul, W6RCL. The production team included Bell and
Kaul as well as Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, and Bill Baker, W1BKR. The editor
was Keith Glispie, WA6TFD.

Amateur Radio Today is an ideal presentation for clubs, government
meetings, civic organizations and any other venue where you want to
vividly illustrate what Amateur Radio has to offer the public. The video
runs just six minutes and is available in several formats. The digital
version of Amateur Radio Today is available in MPEG video format, which
can be played by Windows Media Player, Apple QuickTime or RealPlayer
software. It can be run from the CD or copied to your hard drive (not
included).
