Well, last Friday night - August 10th, 2012, I had the opportunity to present in front of the Richmond Amateur Radio Club. Talk about intimidating! I'm a noob, all of 2+ years in the hobby and I'm looking out at guys with 30, 40, even 50+ years of radio experience - I mean, really, WHAT in the world am I able to tell THEM?!?!?!
The group was very civil, though I was nervous, and the presentation went along fairly smoothly. I suppose one might say it even went well, but I still know there are some things that I would have done differently (and therefore better!)
Two buddies of mine, Armand (WA1UQO) and Tom (KC4CMK), and I re-installed a 20 meter antenna that had fallen a few years previously at the church where the RARC meetings are held. That was really nice, part of my demonstration was receiving PSK31 on 20 meters while the club members filed in and chit chatted before the meeting started.
Anyway, I enjoyed discussing my experience with Icom's RS-BA1 software package and how I use it around the house and travelling. There was quite a bit of Q&A and the presentation was very interactive - I guess that's the kind I like best, it keeps folks engaged in the conversation.
Here's a link to the Remote Operations presentation.
