We are 24 hours away from our live Dayton hamvention broadcast.
Help us spread the word to anyone interested.?
This will be our 10 th year to broadcast Dayton Hamvention . Our viewers
have grown to about 50,000 in over 150 countries during the last Hamvention broadcast.
Hamvention is May 20-22 but we actually go live TOMORROW at 1300 UTC Wed
May 18th as we pull out of our driveway and broadcast the 550 mile drive live.
The video site is http://w5kub.com and we are on 365 days a year when not
broadcasting a live ham event. Over the years we have had special guests on the
broadcasts. We have over $8000 in prizes to give out again this year to lucky viewers.
Some of our prizes are weather stations, Heil headsets, Comet CAA-500 antenna
analyzers, AlphaAmp watt meters, D-star radios, yasue HTs, TenTec desk mics, G5RV antennas, and much
more. After hamvention, we will be broadcasting our 550 mile trip back to Memphis on
Sunday afternoon. We have installed a new Ka Band internet satellite uplink this year in our fleamarket space so we will be broadcasting High Def video this year. This is a first for us. Log into the chat room and talk directly to us, ask questions to those we
are interviewing or just chat with each other. Dayton Hamvention is Fri, Sat, Sun May 18,18,20 we also will broadcast the 550 mile drive (10 Hours) from Memphis, Tn to
Dayton Ohio Wednesday may 16
We will be setting up our fleamarket space and the satellite uplink on
Thursday May 17 and will broadcast that. We will start giving out prizes on Wed morning.

Please join our yearly club picnic on Saturday June 2th, 2012 at noon (12:00 PM) and/or the monthly club meeting on Wednesday June 6th, 2012 at 6 PM all coming soon, mark your calendars now!
At the club picnic we will be cooking up burgers for all and enjoying the afternoon with the company of our members and guests. Please join us for some afternoon fun. At some point we will conduct our yearly officer elections. The picnic typically runs from noon (12:00 PM) to around 3 or 4 PM. If you would like bring a small dish for about 4 people to share to add to the variety. Radio equipment and strange antennas are welcome too, as we have seen at past picnics.
Picnic Location:
Sycamore Canyon Park

The EARN Santiago 440 Mhz Repeater system will be used to support the Harding Hustle Race on July 7,2012. If you would like to volunteer to support the race they still need more help.
Web site for race: http://trailrunning.dirtyfeet.us/hardinghustleindex.html
Course details: http://trailrunning.dirtyfeet.us/hustlecourse.html
The volunteers will probably help with keeping the water and snacks well supplied for participants and giving info on the distance of the course
and the distance to the next aid station etc. There will be shade canopies, tables and chairs set up for all volunteers as well as beverages the volunteers should bring at least 1 handheld 440 mhz radio and 2 if they have them to bring I am hoping that all stations will have at least 3 radios to monitor frequencies but 2 radios will work and all stations should have at least 2 operators with a call sign class of technician or higher
there should be a motorized cart to transport those that need it – for volunteers and participants and the driver or passenger of the cart should also have a radio the volunteers will be providing communications for the event and there will be a medical staff available so the volunteers will be making sure that the volunteers get the first aid they need if it is required the organizer will be located at the net control station at the start/finish line through out the whole day so all stations should be communicating all pertinent info to the “control” station at the finish line all stations will most likely have a timer to keep track of the finish times for the runners the longest distance of this event is 31 miles but it is broken into about 4 different distances
do not count on having cell phone service available along the course there will probably be a laptop computer and internet available at the net control station please indicate if a volunteer needs a ride to the station, but i am sure most will want a ride I will get more info for you about rides to the stations but i would like to get a list of those people that are interested in volunteering and are 100% sure they will be there at the start of their shift.
If interested please contact Dave at this EMAIL: 
Please join us for our next club meeting. More Field Day 2012 planning, and we may have a NBEMS Net Operations video if the mail is fast. If others have agenda items for this meeting please comment on this post and we can add them.
Hope to see many of you there!
Meeting Date: May 2nd at 6 PM
