Disclaimer Notice: This impromtu meeting is being set up by me KP4UY.
DARA and/or Hamfest are not sponsoring it, & it would probably be held
somewhere else I can get a room at no cost for it that fits the amount
of people that express an interest onthe subject. At present such a station
as described here doesnot exist to the best of my knowledge anyone who
knows of one please msg me.
My name is Jose Prieto Aponte (KP4UY), I will be working in the Forums/Speaker
Commitee which has a table to register the speakers last year it was outside
one of the conference room & it may be in the HARA Hamfest map (??) this year.
Anyone wishing to contact me during the show please leave a message at this table
since I will be at the various forums on the floor or message me here. If you
wish a temporary ID for internet email while you are attending the Hamfest

here at apontej@dmapub.dma.org (free one) or at advisor@dayton.fsp.com ( small fee but telnet priviliges full internet). I will have a small portable terminal
a ti707 with me during the show.
that takes care of the communications...
regarding the subject of the meeting is to discuss a multi-single cq wpx
contest station operated by 5 or more concurrent operators remotely sharing the
transmitter resource, they are all in the same band and get a 3-15 second multiplex
slice of the transmitter while they listen from their remote receiver. the discussion
should focus on technical issues first then perhaps on contest rules issues as I
understand them the rule for cq wpx is that the transmitternneds to be physically
connected to the antenna. with this type of set up it is. another issue is
control of antennas direction, how far should the remote operator reciever
be, close enough to hear the station it is transmitting to but far enough
not to overload the receiver when it is transmiting in an adjoining freq. on hte
same band.anyone has experiemnted with this? then there are multiple issues
of real time digital control, what an effective transport to the remote pc
should be modems? tcp/ip.. packet is ou tof the question because of rules &
speed. ISDN? D channel not enough of them. I guess that about cover it
please msg me with expressionof interest to attend. here at
apontej@dmapub.dma.org or advisor@dayton.fsp.com
feel free to post or email elsewhere hope to see u at Hamfest
