Hello OMIK. This is a QST
HBCUs on the Air Yardnet (HOTA)
+ When: Saturdays at 14:00 eastern / 18:00 UTC
+ Agenda: Think about having homecoming at an HBCU every Saturday:
What schools you support? Are you an Alum, student, parent, or
supporter? To which clubs or D9 organization do you belong?
+ Where: Echolink.org *HOTA* conference, Node #: 552596 (I'm looking
to link to Allstar net.)
HOTA business meeting
+ When: Saturdays at 14:30 eastern / 18:30 UTC (start time may move if
the net goes longer than 30 mins)
+ Agenda: First half hour guest speaker, business stand up meeting
follows immediately after Q&A
+ Where: Zoom Meeting ID 812 4356 8803, Passcode: Quad2026
We're looking forward to having guest speakers in the weekly meetings

+ Talks should be no longer that 20mins with 10 mins for Q&A.
+ The audience will new hams and soon-to-be-hams at HBCUs and beyond.
+ What would you want to speak about? Here are some topics: getting
started in amateur radio, meshtastic, QRP, POTA activations, emergency
communications, digital communications, AI and amateur radio, amateur
