Notacon 1 (2004),
Unknown date/time
(Unknown duration).
This is to be a talk covering the very wide topic of amateur radio at an introductory level to get people interested in the subject. The talk will begin with a brief description and history of amateur radio, followed by some more specific topics in greater depth as the audience desires. I intend to have 5-15 minute presentations about the following topics, and will go into each one as the audience desires. The intent is to have, for lack of a better term, a "hyper-talk" where the audience can guide the talk to their topic of interest and technical level.
Bands, frequencies, and modes of radio operation
HF bands and world wide radio contact.
VHF and higher bands for local operation
Contesting
Repeaters, how you work them, and how they work
Digital modes (AX.25, packtor, psk31, APRS)
APRS
Satellite and moon bounce
Ham swaps, and social activities.
Public Service activities.
Experimental radio and modification of commercial gear
Licensing and rules of operation.
Fox hunting (Radio Direction Finding)

as Jeff "AmishOne" Goeke-Smith
A background in networking technology and a desire to learn about radio lead Jeff to acquire a amateur radio license in the fall of 2000. Ignoring all common sense and good judgment, Jeff dove right into the middle of building repeaters and now helps operate the second largest amateur repeater network in Michigan. Along the way, he was distracted by numerous other aspects of amateur radio, and has spent a little time playing with all of them and too much time with some.
