FCC's Riley Hollingsworth to keynote
Ham Radio University 2005
FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth will be the keynote speaker at
the ARRL New York City/Long Island Section Convention and sixth annual
Ham Radio University (HRU).
The convention and HRU 2005 get under way Sunday,
January 9, starting at 8 AM at Briarcliffe College,
1055 Stewart Ave, Bethpage, Long Island, New York.
A day of education about Amateur Radio, HRU 2005 will include forums
geared to new and experienced radio amateurs alike. The focus will be
"hands on," featuring demonstrations by experts in many areas
including VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) authority Jonathan Taylor,
K1RFD, who will present a forum on EchoLink.
New this year are forums on "Urban Ham Radio" for those who
live in neighborhoods that restrict antennas, and "Contest Station
Ergonomics" with Mel Granick, KS2G, to help you set up your station
for maximum comfort and performance. Other forums topics include satellite
communication, low-power (QRP) operating and emergency communication.
An amateur Radio examination session will be held, and there will be
a special event station on site.
HRU 2005 is sponsored by the Long Island Mobile Amateur Radio Club (LIMARC)
in conjunction with the Briarcliffe College Amateur Radio Club and is
a cooperative effort among more than 20 clubs and organizations in the
New York City-Long Island area.
Representatives will be on hand from various area Amateur Radio organizations
and clubs as well as served agencies including the Red Cross, The Salvation
Army and the National Weather Service.
