AM-TECH DAY - Saturday 04 August 2007 - CALIFORNIA AM-TECH-DAY Location: SLAC Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Menlo Park (Near Palo Alto) CA, USA Talk in: N6NFI Repeater: 145.230- PL=100 Presentation Description- "ALE Automatic Link Establishment on HF and VHF, is a versatile and exciting new method of connecting radio operators on the air for voice SSB, text messaging, and HF email. A "force multiplier" for hams in emergency scenarios, ALE is the international standard for initiating and sustaining HF interoperative communications. With ALE, operators can maintain "24/7/365 hot standby nets", on demand... call up one or multiple stations as needed... without nets or skeds, on the best HF band for that moment." Info about ALE: http://hflink.com About the author: http://www.fars.k6ya.org/people/bios#kq6xa About Am-Tech Day- Amateur Radio Technology Day is an open monthly event for ham radio, technology, portable operation, a great meeting place for hams in California. Everyone is welcome, attendance is free. Picnic tables for radio set ups... trees and lawns for antennas... forums and presentations in the auditorium. Food: Grilled hot dogs, donuts, drinks, snacks, etc. WEBSITE for Am-tech Day: http://www.fars.k6ya.org/amtechday/ There are usually several portable HF stations set up at Amateur Radio Technology Day. It is the perfect chance to meet other operators in person, see new equipment, exchange new ideas, tell stories, and operate radios. The presentations on all kinds of ham radio subjects in the academic-style auditorium are always interesting. We set up radios on the picnic tables and put up antennas in the trees or temporary poles in the grassy area. We can put our radios on the tables just inside the building's patio doors and run feedlines (100ft to 200ft coax) out to the normal antenna areas.
