=======================================

this year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Where: Cypress Creek Education Center, 7111 Five Forks Drive, Spring, TX
77379
Time: August 11, 2007 from 9:00 am to 12 N
Workshop Theme: Airmail on 2 meter VHF
Who can attend: Any Licensed Amateur Radio Operator (or soon to be licensed)
Sponsored by: District 14 (Harris County) ARES
Hosted by: Cypress Creek Education Center

You are invited to attend a workshop on August 11th for using Winlink.
This is the last in a series of digital email workshops this year to
help you to become active using one of the programs to send email via
ham radio.

Having Winlink capability as an amateur radio operator is a very
important aspect of emergency communications!!!! The email capability
via ham radio, which includes the use of attachments, is suited to
highly detailed or semi-confidential messages. It will never replace
voice as the primary mode of emergency communications but together they
are very powerful tools to have in your emergency communication toolbox!!!!

This workshop will be for Airmail using 2-meter VHF FM and will be held
on August 11, 2006 at the Cypress Creek Education Center, 7111 Five
Forks Drive (off Stuebner-Airline, just north of Louetta), beginning at
09:00 am and running until about 12 Noon.

If you are interested in attending or want more information, please
email Ken Mitchell  at kd2kw_at_yahoo_dot_com. There is no fee or cost
to attend

You will need to bring the following if you want to setup your own
equipment while at this workshop:
- a 2 meter FM VHF radio,
- Power supply for the radio,
- TNC (most any Kantronics or PK232, PK900, SCS are needed for Airmail),
- Power for the TNC,
- Laptop or PC that has a serial port & USB,
- PC power cord,
- Cables to connect TNC to computer and to radio,
- a dummy load or magnetic mount antenna,
- power strip, extension cord,
- Equipment manuals.

HOWEVER, if you do not have this equipment but only wish to watch the
demonstration and learn about Airmail, that is OK also. We will have
some equipment on hand.

Additional workshops are being considered but not yet scheduled for :
- PacLink
- TelPAC
- and HF Airmail as needed

The workshops are open to all licensed (or soon to be licensed) hams and
will be suitable for both beginners and experienced packet users.
