It’s back for the 4th year!
Streaming video and audio from Hamvention 2006 http://wa5kub.com
"This will be our 4th year of broadcasting live video of our drive
to Hamvention (550 miles) and then the 3 days outside in the fleamarket.
This year the helmet cam will be back. It will let people around the world
get a view of all the things we look at as we walk around.
The streaming cam page also has its own chat room and hams from around
the world watched, chatted, and enjoyed it the past 3 years.
There are no pop-ups or advertisements. Just something we like to do
each year and have fun. It lets hams take part in ham radio if they are
too far away to travel or health does not permit it.
Below I have included some information regarding our schedule and the
link that people will need to access in case you will put a link on your
site. Please spread the word to other hams and ham clubs. The more people
we have on, the more fun we will have.
Streaming Webcast Schedule
We will be broadcasting from the beginning until the end of the show
each day Friday May 20th through Sunday May 22th from our outside fleamarket
spaces 3350-3351. Please come by and say hello and wave to your loved
ones back home.
NEW THIS YEAR !!
Watch for the 'Helmet Cam'. You will be able to see what we see as we
walk around in the fleamarket.
Also watch for us as we convoy from Memphis, Tn to Dayton, Oh. on WEDNESDAY
May 17th and set up our fleamarket space on Thursday May 18th.. This is
a 550 mile drive and will take us about 10 hours.
We will depart Memphis about 8:00 am CST and arrive Dayton about 7:00
pm EST. This will be our fourth year to broadcast the drive live. Chat
with us on the chat screen as we drive. Hams from around the world followed
our trip and chatted with us last year. Watch us and try to guess where
we are.
After hamvention, we will be broadcasting our drive back home. Watch
for us Sunday May 21th from about 1:00 pm until about 9:00pm CST.

The site is up and running today and will be on 24 by 7 from now until
Hamvention. Please visit it, log in and chat with us and others as we
test it. We need you to help stress test it.
We have recorded video running on it at the present but will switch
over to live video when we start our trip.
Video clips running now are the Tonight show CW vs Text Messaging, news
clips of us from local tv stations, The Hamband (A video of a ham in a
tux and top hat singing a ham song while hanging on his tower at 100 feet,
Storm chaser videos, and ICOM videos that were taken at Hamvention over
a couple years.
Thanks
