As we approach the Amateur Radio Expo2007 here are some updates on what we
have accomplished so far:
- We have confirmed the space and I returned the contract to the fair
- Icom is sending a set of DStar demo radios and literature to support us
- HRO Burbank is lending a Icom 756pro3 for the first weekend to use as
the special event station and for the following 3 weekends we will have an
IC 7800 at that station
- Cathy has gotten us more of our signature green cloth for table tops
- Scotty has worked out announcements for the fair people to use over the
pa system and is also working at the TRW swapmeet to promote the Expo and
she typeset and did layout work for our information posters
- Comet is loaning the expo a base antenna for the special event station
- Satern is helping us recruit more volunteers for staffing (especially
the first weekend)
- K6CHE the Long Beach mobile cp will be available for all the weekends of
the Expo
- LA County DCS is working with us to have a presence on the street every
weekend of the expo as well
- Tri County will be showcasing IRLP and will help with the antenna
display
- We would like to welcome the Keller Peak Repeater Association into the
Expo, look for them in a booth next to Satern on the first weekend of the
expo.
- Burbank Fire Dept is helping out the expo by lending us some shade
- Carl Gardenias and Phineas Icenbice are getting us ARRL information
packets to give out at the fair as well
Ken Chafin, W6CPA and Alvin Banman, W6EKZ have volunteered to act as our
bookkeepers. And any checks or donations should be made out to the Mountain
Repeater Association with the memo line to read Amateur Radio Expo 2007. The
repeater Association is a designated 501c3 organization. All donations through
the website will be turned in to Ken and Alvin who will then disperse the money
as receipts for authorized purchases are turned in.
Please remember to send me the first name and call (if a Ham) of all those
willing to act as exhibitors on the street so that I can start making the badges
for this year. I need table dimensions so I can ensure that we have enough green
cloth for all the booths. And MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL spread the word everywhere
you go that it is once again time for the annual Amateur Radio Expo 2007.
