Here's your chance to learn more about APRS and Digital modes plus network with some of the experts.
CQ CQ CQ All APRS and Digital radio enthusiasts - >
Summer Gathering is almost here and the weather is forecast to be great!
This is a very social and very educational event right here in the Pacific
Northwest in North Bend, Washington.
The Summer Gathering is great fun and a great opportunity to learn and
practice just about anything you can do with a computer and your ham radio
particularly focused on the Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS)
http://www.aprs.org/.
Here is the link to Valley Camp: http://valleycamp.org/ it is located in North
Bend, Washington 10 minutes off of I-90 at exit 34. At the bottom of the Exit
34 ramp, turn north and continue 1/2 mile past the convenience stores and truck
stop and watch for and take the right turn onto SE Middle Fork Road (County Road
sign says Valley Camp 2.2 miles). Continue to the "Y" and take the left on SE
Middle Fork Road (lower road). Follow until you come to the stop sign. The
entrance to the camp is straight ahead across the small intersection.
GPS Coordinates for the entrance of camp: 47.4680 -121.6808 (Don't forget the
minus on the longitude or you'll end up in Mongolia!)
Many folks arrive on Friday for socializing. The presentations are on Saturday.
Try and arrive for breakfast from 7:00 to 8:30. Presentations start at 9:00am.
If you plan to attend and want to stay overnight we still have bunk space available in Teneriffe Lodge
as well as full service RV sites and plenty of tent spaces.
Please contact Teena at in...@valleycamp.org as soon as possible with your request and to get info on overnight accommodation.
The location is a beautiful camp with hot showers and a bunkhouse or camping or
RV opportunities. The event runs on donations and we encourage you to shoot for
$10 for the day or $25 for the overnight experience - there is a donation box at
the event. This venue is made available to us at no charge but it can't continue to
happen without your participation and support.
If you donated what you would pay for your breakfast, we would probably be in great shape. Please help us keep this event going for another 17 years!
Bring your thirst for knowledge, some warm clothing for the evenings and some
food and drink to eat and share. There are grills going for lunch and dinner and coffee early each day...
Valley Camp is an incredibly beautiful place - lots of nature trails and birding
opportunities for the family along the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River.
Here’s an idea of the content:
Getting Started with APRS - why do we use digital and what characteristics make it work
Digital Communication and Emergency Communications Debate - Who can you trust, what can you use...?
APRSIS - the swiss army knife of free digital communications software
APRS_Messenger - more tools for effective communication
FLDIGI-FLAMP - is the Amateur Multicast Protocol the perfect emergency communication tool?
There will be excellent operating conditions for you to try HF - a K3, computer with lots of digital modes, interface and 4-element Triband antenna
There will still be free beer with every new digital mode you try...
There will be a talk about Bats just before sunset Saturday
There will be cheezy Sci-Fy Movies late into Saturday Night...if that's your thing...
Or you can just socialize and learn from your fellow hams is this near perfect venue.
Summer Gathering - Rules Of Engagement:
Please wear a name tag. Please meet your fellow participants. If you don't know
someone, go find out what makes them tick. There is a treasure trove of
interest and experience here –make sure you check it all out. If you are
willing to act as a subject/topic resource, please put your interests/areas of
expertise on your name tag.
Please socialize anytime, but during presentations, please move conversations to
the South Side with the Demos – we want everyone to be able to hear our brave
presenters;
If you have a QUESTION you would like answered during the Gathering, please: 1)
write it out and put it on the Kiosk, and/or 2) bring it up during the
introductions, and/or 3) grab any of the presenters or other participants
anytime during the weekend – Don't leave without getting help or setting up
future help;
Please DONATE to Valley Camp to keep this beautiful venue available to us for
events like this. The Mail Box for donations is on the railing of the main
pavilion on the north side cleverly labeled, "Donations" We are hoping the day
folks will help with $10, more if you are so moved, if you enjoyed the free
breakfast, maybe add more and check with Thom and Teena for overnight stays –

Sounds interesting, but I can't actually find a date for this event anywhere on the email (other than mentions of Friday and Saturday) or the linked sites, which I found to be really bizarre as this is a pretty lengthy invite for people to attend and support. Yes, I know there is a contact link, embedded in the message, so I could find out, but I'd much rather just comment on the abense of information than make the effort to search it out. Yeah, that probably makes me a BAD person and if not bad then extremely lazy.
