Other comments:
I would not want to see those participating through Zoom to be expected to pay 
a lot higher registration fee to help offset the higher costs of staging an 
in-person event in a hotel for a smaller group of people.  The registration 
cost for the Fest should be pro-rated fairly.

 Since the advent of COVID, we’re maintained an annual Fest by using the ZOOM 
platform.  This has proven popular and successful and will continue.  However, 
we have always considered a return to an “in-person” Fest something desirable 
if at all possible.  This year we decided to move the dates for the Fest to May 
to address two potential weather-related roadblocks to doing so:  ease of 
travel and the likelihood that the potential for illness lowers as the weather 
moderates.

This “unscientific” poll with help us determine the best course of action for 
the “‘Winter’ SWL Fest” this year.  We hope that everyone on these three 
platforms interested in the Fest will participate in this poll. Just number 
your answers according to the template below and e-mail them to both of us by 
January 21 directly.  We’ll let you know what we’ve learned immediately 
thereafter.

Here are the 5 questions:

1.  Yes or No.  I would be willing to once again attend an in-person Fest.

2.  Yes or No.  To demonstrate that willingness, I would be willing to make a 
nonrefundable upfront payment of $50 to $100.  This would ensure enough 
participation to cover unavoidable fixed costs like a meeting room(s) and 
electronic costs.

3.  Yes or No.  Would a significant increase (say 25%) in costs (for travel, 
lodging, food) to attend affect your decision?

4.  Yes or No.  Should ALL of the features of past Fests be retained? These 
include:  the Forums, the convention atmosphere by holding the event for two 
days  in a sizeable hotel, the Banquet, the Raffle, the Silent Auction, the 
Swap Meet, the Hospitality Room.

5.  If you answered “No” to #4, what features could be done without? 

Please feel free to add any further comments you deem helpful.

Thank you for your help.  If you have any questions, please feel free to send 
them along as well..

Re: [Swlfest] First Draft: 2021 34th Annual Winter SWL Fest Program

[Sheldon Harvey]

I had correspondence from Anrie Coro last week.  He told me that the Cuban 
government does not allow access to Zoom meetings.  Our club (CIDX) has monthly 
meetings on Zoom and Arnie gets a complimentary copy of our bulletin each 
month.  He received the invitation to our January meeting, but responded saying 
that he is unable to access Zoom

Re: [Swlfest] Casting Call for the 2016 Winter SWL Fest

[Sheldon Harvey]

Hi, John.  Just got off the phone with Alan Roberts, the master of the lows and 
highs of the HF spectrum!
Alan spends a lot of his DXing time on frequencies below 500 kHz. and above 25 
MHz. Living in an extremely noisy environment in a suburban area just 10 
minutes or so outside of Montreal, a city of now about 4 million people (and 
only about 5 minutes away from me!), Alan has had incredible success over the 
years digging out signals on longwave for example.  He has often called me to 
say the band is open at his place and I can hear the incredible signals he is 
picking up over the phone!  I tune in the frequencies here, just 5 minutes away 
and I don't hear a thing!
His secret to success seems to be his use of home-made small vertical antennas! 
 Most people think success on longwave (not just broadcast stations, but 
beacons as well), is very long, beverage style antennas.  Alan has succeeded in 
proving that's not necessary and it is possible with very short, easy to 
construct and install antennas to have great success.
He has also spent many, many hours digging out all sorts of odd and interesting 
signals in the HF spectrum 25 MHz and up.  A number of years back, he was able 
to find a network of FM stations being used by ski-lift gondolas at a French 
Alps ski resort using the French service Radio Neige.  He has also logged a 
number of television studio to transmitter link signals (STL's) throughout the 
US that use 26 MHz FM mode Comrex transmitters.  He was also recently able to 
pull out the experimental signals from a Moscow based technical university, 
with students broadcasting once a week..
He religiously checks for activity in the lows and highs of the HF spectrum and 
through his creative and unique work at designing and constructing antennas he 
has been able to come up with some amazing DX catches in areas of the spectrum 
that few DXers spend much time in.
The low periods of the sunspot cycle and the increasing noise floor generated 
by all the weird and wonderful RF generating devices around us have made his 
DXing efforts more challenging, but Alan looks at it as a new challenge, sort 
of a cat and mouse game.
So, Alan and I have discussed it, and we're thinking that we'd like to propose 
a new forum at Winterfest 2016, perhaps called something like "DXing the Lows 
and Highs of the HF Spectrum".  I will be working on a audio/visual 
presentation of photos of his equipment, antennas, etc. as well as some 
recordings of the signals he hears (providing we can catch some in the next 
couple of months!
Alan is a little bit nervous in front of crowds and seems a little unsure of 
being able to fill the hour, but I have agreed to help him out and run the 
graphics, photos, sound clips, etc.  He has done my radio show on a number of 
occasions and is aware of just how quickly a half-hour goes by on the radio.  I 
told him that giving the talk at Winterfest is much the same, and once 
questions start flowing, it will be over before he knows it..
So, if you think this would be of interest to our audience, we should be able 
to pull it off. I think it would be something unique for Winterfest. Let me 
know your thoughts.  If you want to go with it, we'll get working on it quickly.

We invite one and all to be a part of the 2015 Winter SWL Fest on 
February 19 and 20 at the Doubletree Guest Suites in fashionable 
Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. That's just 81 days away as I type this.  

As you know, one of the centerpieces of the Fest weekend is our line- 
up of informative and entertaining forums.  How do we get them? These  
excellent sessions are put together and presented by you and people just 
like you--people with a deep and abiding interest in radio and a  
willingness to share what they've experienced, learned and know.

So, how about it?  Have you a topic that you think Fest participants  
will find interesting and would be willing to present?  Tell us about it.

Your role will be to lead a one hour session forum.  That means  
preparing about a half-hour presentation that leaves plenty of time  
for audience questions and interaction.  It can be anything from a 
straight (or comic) lecture (or both) to a multimedia extravaganza.
Your choice!

And as a gesture of appreciation (and perhaps some measure of small  
compensation for your efforts), the Fest will comp your registration  
fee if your proposal is accepted by the Organizing Committee (which 
consists of Rich Cuff, yours truly and a pineapple that serves as
committee chair and expert consultant) for inclusion in the

 To Ulis and others in the group, thanks for the postings regarding Ben 
Hester's passing.

For those of you in the group who may have not been in attendance at the 
Winterfest for  several years now, I wanted to point out that for the past 
number of years I have been presenting an in Memoriam segment as a part of 
the Saturday luncheon.  Each year we take a few moments to remember those from 
within our circle of radio friends, as well as people from the radio industry, 
who have passed on in the last year.

So, obviously, Ben's name will be added to the ceremony at the next Winterfest 
in 2015.  This is also a reminder to all in this group that should you hear of 
the passing of anyone within our radio circle throughout the year to please 
pass along the details to me so that they may be remembered by all in 
attendance.

If you're not familiar with the Plymouth Meeting vicinity, I recommend
you consult Google Maps before you arrive -- they have the hotel
properly placed, and the turn-by-turn directions up to the hotel are
correct.

There are two ground-level signs for the Doubletree -- one on the NE
corner of Hickory Road and Germantown Pike, and one on the NW corner
of Hickory Road and Fountain Road, but these are quite easy to miss in
the thicket of ramps, lanes, signals, and signs in the vicinity.

Coming up from the Turnpike or from I-476, if you miss the right turn
at Hickory Road, take the next ramp to the right -- called Atrium
Way -- that will also lead you to the hotel entrance.

If you miss both of these, go the second signal after that -- Walton
Road -- and turn right.  Turn right again at the next signal --
Fountain Road -- there's a ground level sign there too -- and follow
it back to the hotel.

If you're flying in and not renting, Tropiano Transportation will get
you to the hotel the quickest.  Philadelphia's mass transit agency --
SEPTA -- will get you within a block or two of the hotel, but will
require a total travel time of 90 to 120 minutes to make the necessary
train  bus connections.

SEPTA's schedules are embedded in Google Maps, so you can get door-to
-door transit instructions (train numbers, stops, bus numbers, times)
there -- very easy to navigate.

[Swlfest] reminder to all Fest attendees

[Sheldon Harvey]

Hi, everyone.  Hard to believe the Fest is approaching so quickly.
 
I just wanted to tell everyone that I will be setting up my usual Radio HF 
display at the fest again this year.  If there are any particular books, 
accessories or other trinkets that you are looking to pick up, please drop me a 
note and let me know what you are looking for.  I will try to have them with me 
for you to pick up at the Fest.
 
There are some publications that I will be having shipped directly to the hotel 
such as the WRTH, Klingenfuss publications, some ARRL books, including ARRL 
Handbook, Antenna Book, Repeater Directories, etc.
 
I'll also have the usual selection of portable  mini-mobile antennas, 
connectors  adapters, etc.
 
So, please let me know at your earliest convenience if there are items in 
particular you would like and I will be sure to either bring them with me or 
have them shipped to me at the hotel.
 
Thanks.  Looking forward to seeing everyone again...hopefully without snow 
shovels in hand!

Re: [Swlfest] IRR

[Sheldon Harvey]

Sounds good.  Thanks for the comments.  We didn't have a lot of hard news today 
so we kicked around the idea of talking about early memories of radio on the 
way in to do the show.  I thought Alan's tales would be interesting, given that 
he began his listening overseas and at a time where there was only radio; no 
TV.  I hope others found his memories interesting.
 
I think it's fun to do this type of stuff on the show rather than just 
repeating stuff that probably a lot of people tuning in have heard already 
anyway. Maybe we can do more of this sort of thing in the future.
 
Have a safe trip home.

Hi Sheldon,
 
Listening to you and Alan this morning. You guys sound real good. You seem to 
be getting settled back into the show and sounding very good!
 
I`ll be back in next week as I got delayed here. I should be back in town on 
Wednesday and I`ll give you a shout when I return. Thanks to you and Alan for 
doing a great job in my absence.
 
See you next week!
 
Steve
