I was a bit reluctant to forward this to the RVRC but there might be some
folks who would find this interesting, so here it is.  73,

Live hamradio broadcast Tomorrow Nov 3rd starting at 0800 central.  ( Nov 3
1300 UTC)

Broadcasting from the companies of MFJ, Ameritron, Hygain, Cushcraft,
Mirage, and Vectronics.

This broadcast tomorrow will be live video and audio feeds from these
companies. Video will be on and off and tomorrow is basically for testing
the stream

and lining up the agenda and prizes.  We will give a few prizes away
tomorrow.

You might see various departments and key personnel of all these companies.

we will  have another "official" broadcast in 2 to 3 weeks from these
companies.

During the official broadcast you will see: all the facilities at these
companies. you will see the research and development, the manufacturing,
customer

service and all the products. You will meet and hear interviews from key
people such as Martin F. Jue who is owner of MFJ and the other companies.
you will

meet engineers, and will be able to ask questions on the chat room .   You
will be able to ask these companies questions and you will also be able to
chat

with others on the chat room. We are viewed in 150 countries and many hams
around the world follow our broadcast.

This year we broadcasted the Huntsville, AL hamfest and the Dayton
Hamvention and we gave away over $10,000 in prizes to viewers. During the
official MFJ

broadcast, we will be giving away a lot of very nice prizes to viewers. if
your logged into the chat room you might win.

The broadcast on Wednesday Nov 3 is mainly to test live video streams, put
together an agenda, and meet the players and determine the prizes. Although
it is

not the official broadcast (later this month) there will still be
interesting things to see as we test. Once we have this test and develop the
agenda, we

will send out a new notice of the time and date for the official broadcast.

The site is http://w5kub.com

We will try to broadcast our 200 mile drive tomorrow morning live, as we
travel to Starkville, MS . most of the test video feeds will probabably be
after

lunch (approx 1pm or 1800 UTC Nov 3)

during this "test visit" there should still be a lot of hams tuned in and on
the chat room.

Please help us to pass the word around to other hams.

See you Wednesday.
