Dayton Hamvention 2010

April 24, 2010

The time is almost upon us for the Dayton Hamvention 2010.

SYRG’s international representative G4LUE shall be undertaking the arduous task of visiting the Hamvention and reporting back to the group on latest developments in the world of amateur radio.

We have just received word that the W8BI, D-Star enabled node, will be hooked up to Reflector 30B for the duration of the event. Users are asked “If you would like to follow the D-Star activity in Dayton over Hamvention® weekend, please use a linked repeater or link your DVDongle/DVAPdongle to 30-B reflector. Please do not link directly to the W8BI gateway.”

G4LUE will be available via the D-Star network throughout his trip and may even be streaming video live from his iphone to this website.

The event can also be viewed live via WA5KUB helmet cam – another fantastic ustreamer

Ham radio and D-Star to get boost from TV sitcom

The ABC Television series, “Last Man Standing” is about Mike Baxter (played by Tim Allen), a marketing executive for “Outdoor Man,” a fictitious sporting goods store in Colorado. Mike, is a “man’s man” and involved in all kinds of outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating. Likewise, Mike (and Tim) has a love for all the electronics that go with these activities. Among Mike’s interests is Amateur Radio (Ham Radio). Tim's character (Mike Baxter), is KA0XTT. This is a call sign the show cleared for use on air. "XTT" is a bit of a private joke as Tim's character name on "Home Improvement" was Tim Taylor. So, ex T. T. In the show’s radio inventory is currently an ICOM IC-9100 HF radio, an IC-92AD dual band, hand-held, a Heil PR-781microphone, a Daiwa CN-801HP SWR/Power meter a Comet CAA-500 antenna analyzer and a Iambic CW Paddle.
