Ham Radio Day 2013

A little bit earlier this year (Mar.16), and the weather should be great .!.

HR Day at GigaParts in Huntsville AL

This is a fun event, and a great opportunity for folks to learn more about this hobby. Doesn’t matter if you are newly-licensed, un-licensed, or an Old-Timer like me . . . something for everyone. Vendors, product demos, show&tell – I really appreciate GigaParts for hosting such an event. I plan to be there again to demonstrate my Subaru-deployable EmComm station. Last year I had HF and VHF radio, with simple quick antenna setups. This year I’m hoping to demo a portable VHF Winlink2000 email gateway. I’ll offer assistance and tips on how to configure your RMS-Express clients to use this service.
Sounds like a party .!. (here are a couple of pics from last year…)

Subaru Field Station WB5RMG @ GigaParts 2012

Subaru Field Station WB5RMG w/ HF & VHF & APRS & PSK31 /;^)

 

These might be for sale soon.

I may have too many radios… These two may be for sale soon.
Nothing fancy, certainly not new. Not heavily used or abused;
these are well-suited to become first rigs for new licensees, or as a backup or dedicated mobile/portable equipment to augment existing stations.

Kenwood TS-440S w/AT, PS-30, SP430, 12 VDC cable, mobile bracket . . .

Yaesu FT50-R dual-band HT, AC charger, DC charger, MH34 spkr-mic, belt clip

More detail available of course.
Thanks  /;^)

Got FabFi ?

Today I ran across this article on OpenSource.com. (FabFi wireless network)
Sounds like an interesting project, especially for those of us who prepare for communications emergencies. I need to follow links and read more.   /;^)
