Hi Folks,
We have a mixed bag of availability and scheduling, some people are
only coming
for part of a day, some are there for 3 days, some are going to
Hamvention for
the first time and don't really have an estimate of what they'll be
doing.
So, I am making some scheduling requests below, please get back to
me if they
won't work or if you'd like to do something else.
From Wednesday 9PM or so through Monday evening I will be at Dayton
and
my mobile number is
510-717-4520. I'll also have email.
Exhibitor tickets:
Please get a normal ticket if you don't have one. It turns out that
the TAPR
guys can get exhibitor tickets, but I can't get any because we no
longer have
our own booth and are in the TAPR booth. I will try to get one from
the exhibitor
manager once I get to Hara.
Scheduling requests:
I am leaving Gerry and Mel open to operate the station on their
schedule.
They both spend more than enough time in the booth. When they aren't
around,
the rest of us can operate the station.
You are always welcome in the booth. Just please talk with people or
run the
station when you are there.
Thursday:
Bruce will come in and hook up the internet and put up the banner.
Chris speaks at "Four Days in May".
Friday
TAPR will have someone covering the booth during the forum.
Bill Curtice: 11:30AM to 1:30PM.
Jeff Dubin: 1:30PM to 3:00PM.
Rich Barnach: 3:00PM to 4PM.

Sunday:

Chris and I will be showing Whitebox and will probably be in the
booth for
extra hours.

interviews.
Chris and I will have a few meetings with radio manufacturers.

TAPR forum: 9:15 AM to 11:15 AM

force
behind the FOX cubesat, became a silent key way too young.
