[UK-CONTEST] A few more HF Convention photos

[GM4JR]

Hi Chris / All

>> I am sure the reason there were no webcams or streaming video is that

In this day and age it is surprising a national organisation does not make
it's AGMs/Meetings etc available on the internet, even just audio streaming,
for those who cannot / do not wish to travel.

This is a techy hobby, with lots of technical people is it not a tad old
fashioned to HAVE to attend meetings in order to hear them, even take part
in them?

Perhaps we should look at the figures - who DID attend and who would like to
have, but, for whatever reason, could not? I suspect the latter may be a
larger group than we appreciate.

Remember not all our members are able bodied, not all can afford to attend
(and pay for accommodation), some have young families, work commitments. I
was able to spend the time to listen, but was on call as is often the case
so could not stray far from base.

Just a thought?

Hello UK-contesters

I only took a few photos last weekend - they are online here :

www.qsl.net/gm3woj/hfconvention2012.htm

I am sure the reason there were no webcams or streaming video is that some
people would then not attend the Convention.
