[Fourlanders] publicity possibility at Stone Mountain Hamfest

[Bob Lear]

Here is an email I got from Charles K4CSO recently.  This is a publicity 
possibility like we did some years ago at the Stone Mountain Hamfest.

I am completely tied up for time to do anything about this myself.  I'm 
just overwhelmed with stuff for this month and next and just no time to 
put something together.

Is anyone interested in doing something like this?  We can make 
equipment or a tower trailer available if needed.  Let me know.

--------------------
I know you're focused on getting ready for September contest with most 
weekends booked between now and contest with Huntsville and Shelby 
hamfests. But, Nick N0NCQ, the Forum organizer for Lawrenceville Hamfest 
is looking for a Forum speaker. I've done two talks for GARS in the past 
year.

So I suggested a VHF Contesting Forum by the FourLanders. Are you up for 
that Nov.5th? I figure if you don't already have something, it wouldn't 
take long to pick a couple dozen photos from the website or private 
collections and just talk to them.

I do have one suggestion for a demo that might get some attention. If 
you can bring one of the telescoping mast trailers with rotor and a 432 
yagi (I have one if you don't), I bet we can get Dexter to work us from 
the flea market at some prearranged time. That should be possible with a 
D1010 ( 100w). Might get Guy W4NUS on too. He's usually about S7 for me, 
while Dex is S8 typically down here. Might even get Skip KH6TY on SC 
coast to try and work  us from the hamfest.

They've had some new checkins on the net lately Bob Mantel W4GA and 
W4VAS Vic in Winder. Plus GARS went out for VHF contest last year as a 
club. So there is some interest. Just needs somebody to help fan the 
fire and show "it ain't limited like FM".  And maybe you'll get some 
additional operator interest in joining FourLanders from the crowd.

If interested let me know and I'll pass info to Nick, or contact him 
directly: Nick N0NCQ creativegardening at hotmail.com

Just need to come up with a couple sentence description, in your words, 
of what you are going to talk about, and mention demo in flea market of 
300+ mile contact on 432 at xx PM. There's always the beacon up in NC 
too. That will give them something to help publicize the forum and demo.

73,
Charles
K4CSO
