This note came in this morning from Steve Jones in Huntsville about a great event this weekend up in the Tennessee Valley:
Hi James,
You might be interested in knowing, and passing along
to the abc33/40 weather blog readers in this area,
information about the Huntsville Hamfest that will be
held this coming weekend, August 19-20, in the South
Hall of the Von Braun Center in downtown Huntsville.
There will be the usual large Dealer Show and Flea
Market, and among the 29 forums currently planned for
the event, a few that might be of particular interest
to the weather bloggers:
"2005 Ham Radio Hurricane Response Review"
(Greg Sarratt, W4OZK and Steven Smith, KG5VK)
"ARRL ARES Emergency Communications"
(Jay Isbell, KA4KUN, Alabama SEC)
"APRS Forum" (Tim Cunningham, N8DEU)
Digipeaters, Internet Gateways, and Weather Stations!
"SKYWARN Forum" (Don Smith, KI4FMD)
"Lightning Protection for the Radio Amateur" (Dr.
Monte Bateman, Thunderstorm Physicist, NASA Marshall
Space Flight Center)
There is complete information on the Huntsville
Hamfest website at http://www.hamfest.org. I hope
to see you this weekend, I'll be working some of the
Talk-in at K4BFT on 146.34/94...give us a shout for
travel / driving assistance.
