ARRL MARYLAND STATE CONVENTION

http://www.gbhc.org/

The two day Greater Baltimore Hamboree and Computerfest on March 27 and 28 will be the host of the ARRL Maryland State Convention. In addition to being able to spend two days with lots of vendors and tailgaters looking for those items you need to enhance your Amateur Radio station, there will a number of forums available to expand your Amateur Radio knowledge and answer those nagging questions you have.

Information on times and a detailed description of topics will be put out in the near future. But at this point the following items are confirmed on the agenda:

  1. We are privileged to have for our ARRL Forum Kay Craigie, N3KN, our new ARRL President and Bill Edgar, N3LLR, our Atlantic Division Director.
  2. A presentation by Harold Kramer, WJ1B, ARRL Chief Operating Officer.
  3. A presentation by Frank Donovan, W3LPL, well-known contester on propagation at the bottom of the sunspot cycle.
  4. Harry Bloomberg, W3YJ, from Pittsburgh with a talk/demo on Narrow Band Emergency Messaging System (NBEMS) click: www.w1hkj.com/NBEMS for more information.
  5. An ARES/RACES forum open to all led by SEC Steve Beckman, N3SB.
  6. How to set up Airmail and Winlink.
  7. Other presentations are still being confirmed.

There will also be a hands-on area where you can bring your laptop and load up on digital software and do some live learning. This should be very helpful for our upcoming digital exercise on April 24.
