6/11/00 1:38:40 PM,Nancy, Ron is formulating a policy re the nonprofit's funding of short wave antenna towers and the like
- big ticket items, etc.
(Michel) I don't understand it, so I can't comment.
6/11/00 1:39:35 PM,Nancy,He has been both pleased and disappointed with the response to his radio classes. Good
response re joining up, poor response re doing the grunt work, the reading and learning Morse Code and the like.
6/11/00 1:39:59 PM,Nancy,We don't want to be seen as the place to go if you're looking for radio equipment just because
you show up!
(Michel) Nancy, how much antenna towers are needed and what will the educative value of this be exactly?
6/11/00 1:42:36 PM,Nancy,Michel, I'd have to ask Ron.
6/11/00 1:43:35 PM,Nancy,Ron says - we need as many towers as we have trained operators, and the short wave internet
replacement procedures.
6/11/00 1:44:00 PM,Nancy,Ron states - and we want to place them in as many parts of the world as we can get these
operators.
6/11/00 1:44:50 PM,Nancy,Ron says - if you can pay for your own tower, wonderful! In those cases, the nonprofit may
purchase an amplifier for the person.
6/11/00 1:45:49 PM,Nancy,Nancy says - depends on the funds the nonprofit gets, the other demands for the funds, but per
Ron it ALSO depends on the quality of the operators. He wants blood and sweat from those folks FIRST, in the web
lessons and IRC and the like, before they get funding.
(Jurian) Any help from the Inc to at least START a site in Europe, would be a good begin for us, and it'd make it possible
for us ALL to start setting up the worldwide HAM network..
(Jurian) I'm not saying the Inc should buy us a bunch of land, but helping funding stuff like the radio tower(s) and other
equipment, would be a good thing in my opinion.
6/11/00 2:02:42 PM,Nancy,Jurian, yes, radio towers are an example. Please note that in Item 6, short wave policy, that Ron
and I are BOTH suggesting that Shirley be a recipient of a tower!
(Michel) Nancy, then Jurian should be optionally become a recipient of a tower too?
6/11/00 2:04:52 PM,Nancy,Jurian, absolutely. Has he done the ground work that Ron is looking for? We very much need an
European antenna.
(Jurian) I don't have a license yet, as soon as I get the financial means, I'll work on getting that. Reading up on HAM radio
tech stuff, and electronics in general.
6/11/00 2:10:11 PM,Nancy,Jurian, good for you!
