<p><font face="Arial">The Dayton Hamvention is almost here! The
WA8LMF Special Events UI-Wesbserver is up and running for
Dayton. Go to <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><<a href="http://WA8LMF.net/map">http://WA8LMF.net/map</a>></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">and follow the black link for "Special
Events Webserver". <br>

<p><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">I have been asked to exhibit my mobile
"Porta-Site" at the Hamvention this year. This installation
will be in the EMCOMM (Emergency Communications) EXPO of
comms vehicles in the parking lot north-west of the main
fairground buildings. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">The Porta-Site features four radios and a
Panasonic Toughbook PC crammed into a VW Jetta TDI. It is
capable of operating on three HF bands and/or four VHF/UHF
bands simultaneously. I will be demoing live 30 &
60-meters APRS, and live mobile SSTV on both VHF and HF from
the Porta-Site on both Friday and Saturday. (I will be
arriving on Thursday.)</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">The installation includes a telescoping
40-foot mast that supports the center of a ladder-line-fed HF
dipole and two VHF/UHF multi-band antennas simultaneously. <br>

<font face="Arial"><font face="Arial">ADDED ATTRACTION: If you
want to see the ultimate HF transmitters (200KW) and antenna
farm, don't miss the Voice of America museum only about 45
miles (70 Km) south of the Hamvention venue. Built on the
former Bethany, Ohio VOA transmit site (now decommissioned),
the museum is having special extended hours during the
Hamvention. It will be open until 9 PM, instead of the usual 4
PM Thursday, Friday and Saturday. </font> </font>

<p><font face="Arial">Almost next door is the transmit site of the
legendary WLW-AM. This is the only US standard-broadcast
station to ever broadcast with more than 50KW. In the mid
1930s, it transmitted with 500KW, making it the most powerful
AM station to ever transmit in the US.</font><font
