Live Video and Audio of the Huntsville

[S56CT]

Live Video and Audio of the Huntsville, Al Hamfest weekend of August 19th and 20th

Many of you watched us Broadcast the Dayton Hamvention in live streaming video and audio this past May. Now you can watch us as we travel to the Huntsville, AL Hamfest. This is the big event for hams in the Southeastern United States. It will be at the Huntsville, Alabama's Von Braun Center 700 Monroe Street SW.

As many of you are aware, this is a great way to take part in a great ham radio experience even if you can not attend. Watch the live video and chat with other hams across the U.S. and even the world. Our last broadcast was viewed by hams in over 152 countries. The web site is http://wa5kub.com

We will be broadcasting from the Hamfest all day on Saturday Aug 19th and again on Sunday Aug 20th until closing at 2:00 PM. At times the camera may be in a fixed location showing the entire fleamarket but at other times we will be wearing the “Helmet Cam”. With the Helmet cam, you will actually be walking around with us and visiting all the exhibitors.

As on our last trip, we plan to try to broadcast live our drive to Huntsville. This will be the first year we have broadcast the Huntsville Hamfest so we don’t know exactly how well that part will work. Im sure we will have coverage on much of the trip but we might lose the signal in some parts of the drive. Even if we lose the connection, each of you will still be able to continue on the chat room on the video page. When we re-establish the connection you will see us reappear on the video. We also plan to transmit video after hours from the hotel. Who knows what we might find. On the website, I have tried to list a schedule of approximate times where we think we will be as we go down the road. We should be driving to Huntsville on the Friday evening and again back to Memphis, Tn Sunday afternoon. On the map you can see where we have coverage (violet color) and where we lose coverage (red color). Please watch for this schedule on http://wa5kub.com . I will try to update it as we finalize the exact times.

Please help us spread this word out to all hams. Send it to your clubs and friends.

Thanks and hope to see you there.
