[OMIK] HBCUs on the air?

[Jesse Alexander]

Hey team.

I had to step away to bury my "little" brother, James. 😢
Free advise you didn't ask for: Please review and update your estate
and/or end-of-life plans--especially if you have children.

I'm still interested in HBCUs on the air:

What are the next steps:
1. I like the idea March 14, 1NP / W1NP / K2MP's birthday idea because
it's also PI Day. We should probably pick the "closest" weekend.
2. find points of contacts at each of the schools we want to activate.
3. it would be good to give a briefing at each school about RF, the
spectrum, and wireless tech in the run up to the activations.
4. what format should the activation take: POTA-like, informal net,
something else.

What your best thinking on this?
-Jesse, WB2IFS
