¿ªÔÆÌåÓýGangue, I'm in the final throws of getting ready to travel out to Fairborn to FDIM and another Buildathon. The Buildathon kit is an updated version of one of my favorite designs The Pocket PAL ][+ handy dandy hamfest parts tester. It is up on my website along with 1 4 part complete video build and another video of what it does. This year, Stephen, N1SH, and I will be live streaming the Buildathon on Friday afternoon. The connection is there in the room and I received permission from the hotel to live stream using their high bandwidth connection. I did a live stream Build-Along back in 2011 but if I remember correctly, we had to do it like at midnight. We had 18 in the room and another 50 or so scattered around the globe building from home. I have about 1/2 the room filled so far and some signups for mailing the kits out for participation from QTHs. Signups now will have their kits mailed via Priority Mail so I can still mail kits in the next day or two that should reach just about everybody in the US so if you want to take part, get your oar in quickly. All the information and the videos are here: @FDIM:?? @YOUR QTH:??? Tomorrow is a pack orders and ship stuff day so ther is still some time to get in on the action... Rex? W1REX |
