[Elecraft] Maggie's Presentation

2005-06-27 Thread Steven Pituch

Hi Maggie,

PLEASE!  I need to use your presentation at my club soon.  Is that OK? 
I can send you back the add ons that I will do to it.  I need to add 
pictures to the end of your report on the KAT/KPA100 in the EC2 
enclosure, and also the KPA100 in the K2 chassis version.  Also I need 
to show the radio performance comparison chart so they realize a K2 can 
beat out an Orion or IC7800 for a lot less money.  I'm the only QRP op 
in the club and although one of the serious DXers knows what a K2 is, 
everyone else has no idea as to how much the K2 is a kick-ass radio. 
They all think the IC746 is great but can't understand why they had so 
much trouble on field day with them.  They won't know a good radio until 
I shove it up, ah I mean politely show them my K2.


There is a lady named Pat, KD5TXD, down here in SW Texas that is net 
control for a traffic net every day with a K2/100 she built.  I think 
she said that she never had any soldering experience before.


Regards,
Steve, W2MY
Corpus Christi

Well, it's ceratinly OK with me if you use *my* stuff. Of course I can't 
clear you to use the images that *I* used without permission; so you're 
kind of on your own there. Most of them came from the Elecraft site, but 
others came from other ham radio websites--- the sequence dealing with 
the history of amateur radio building in particular...a total of three 
or four images, as I recall.


Also, to make changes you probably need to understand that this was 
*not* a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation. It was done with Huckster, a 
very lightweight open-source slideshow tool written in Java. So if 
you're happy to use what's posted on the web, that's fine. If you need 
to alter the Huckster scripting, you'll need the script, the Huckster 
JAR file (kind of a portable Java executable package, downloadable from 
the Huckster site) and you'll need to install the Java runtime on your 
computer (if it isn't there already).


The laptop I built the presentation on is currently in the shop for 
service (backlight quit on me)...so the backup of the Huckster script I 
have immediately available here on my Linux server isn't *quite* the one 
I used to generate the slides you see online. When I get the laptop back 
(assuming HP hasn't found it necessary to clobber the hard disk to fix 
the backlight) I may be able to track down the source of the images from 
my browser history and retroactively ask for permission to 
republish...or at least know who to ask. That will be at least a week 
from today, maybe two.


So that's the situation. Summary:
 () Use what I wrote, fine.
 () Use the images: you're on your own as to intellectual property 
issues...*I* think illustrating my lecture with them was within fair 
use but your milage may vary.

 () Modifying the presentation could be tricky.
