FIeld Day press release


 

First draft of the press release.

Three issues:

The logo looks ratty - I pulled it off the website and resized it. I don't do graphics so I'm not sure what to do to clean it up. The white out didn't work.

Mike - I'll need some help with the section in bold - I just threw in a few items as examples.

The pr@... email is not coming to me.

I like it. It has a lot of useful information and talks about the club.
I think it could use a compelling? "lead line" that says _why_ would someone reading this be interested in checking it out.

Like,

What happens when the power goes out during a disaster? Recent emergencies like the massive power outages in Spain and Portgal, as well as large disasters in North Carolina and Florida have people wondering how they can remain in contact when power is out and cell phones can't get through. Ham radio provides a way for families, groups, and communities to communicate when other systems fail. You can see ham radio in action right here in Plano this June 28-29th, at Plano's Shawnee Park when the Plano Amateur Radio Klub, performs its annual Field Day emergency preparedness event in conjunction with clubs and organizations across America.? . . .

Or something like that.

Then if that catches the reporter, or whomever reads through the PR that comes in, then the rest is information they can re-juiger into a news article like they wrote it.
