Hamvention live video/audio

[w5kub]

Please get the word out again to all the hams that we will be broadcasting live video and audio of the Dayton hamvention again this year. In addition to the video, hams around the world can join in on the website chat room. We are viewed each year in 150 countries and bring the hamvention experience to those that can not make it in person.

The fun starts live on Wednesday May 14th at about 0800 CDT as we depart Memphis, Tn for our 550 Mile drive to Dayton. We will be broadcasting the drive live and people can have fun trying to guess where we are or comment about what food we are eating as we wear the Helmet cam into the restaurants. We will also be transmitting live on Thurs May 15 as we set up our fleamarket space 3350-3351. If we have time we might broadcast again from the Air Force Museum on Thurs afternoon. Then we will broadcast the entire show live Friday – Sunday. At approx 1:00 pm on Sun we will start our 550 mile drive back to Memphis and will broadcast it live.

The Hamvention website has a link to our site incase someone forgets our address.

The address to join in on the fun is http://wa5kub.com or http://w5kub.com

I changed my call this year to W5KUB (dropped the “A”)

You can get lots of other information about this on our website. There are maps there showing our route, and also links that explain how we do this.

.

Thanks and hope to see you there.

I wish you wouldn't conceive of this as "broadcasting," nor use the word "broadcasting."

Broadcasting is specifically prohibited in the Amateur Radio Service, see 47 CFR 97.113(c): "No station shall transmit communications in order to engage in any form of broadcasting, . . ." There is an exception if you meet a four part test.

I don't think part 97 applies to Verizon :) We are using Verizon's national broadband access. We have added an external 6db antenna outside the car and have also inserted a 2 watt amplifier. The freq is CDMA around 1850-1900 Mhz.

What makes you think it is broadcasting in the amateur bands? This is strictly a mobile webcam using a cellular internet connection. You should check it out when they get rolling, Fred. It is fun and interesting watching Tom and company make their way to the Hamvention.

Yes, I would be interested in this too. Keep us posted. Hope it works well.
