Virtual Ham Expo March 2021
The Virtual Ham Expo is soliciting speakers for the next event in March of 2021. I presented at the one back in August and have signed up again. I wanted to see if someone from AMSAT or Field Ops would like to join me as a co-presenter. I would like to see if we can create a better than last year presentation. Please let me know if you are interested.
The presentation part is pre-recorded so editing a video is a good way to go beyond PowerPoint. There is also a Q&A session is live on Zoom. I had 130+ in the Q&A session back in August. Last year, I added a video of working RS-44 from my Driveway. Other things could be done as well.
Also they do have an "Exhibit hall" which is a "Pay for your space" deal, but perhaps AMSAT would like to buy a space and we could coordinate a group of us to work the virtual table through the weekend. That would be a good way to help bring personal interaction as is always the case for events like Hamcation, Hamvention and Ham-Com. Now is the time to begin planning and arranging, not 2 weeks before.
Let me know what you think and maybe we can investigate further.

Hi Tom,
I am not sure who all might read this on -bb so along with your fieldops email that you included you might wish to "contact us" on the launch.amsat.org site and let them know the news if you don't get a response here.
