January 20: Ham Radio University 2002
Babylon, New York - On Sunday, January 20, 2002 at 9AM, the doors of the
Babylon Town Hall Annex on Phelps Lane will open for the third annual Ham
Radio University.
Ham Radio University 2002 is a day of education about Amateur Radio. This
year the forums have been expanded and new forums have been added. There will
be twenty, one-hour presentations with special forums geared to the non-ham
as well as the experienced ham radio operator. The focus will be "hands on"
with many demonstrations.
Come join us at the Babylon Town Hall Annex, Phelps Lane, North Babylon,
Long Island, and learn about everything from satellite communications, low
power operating using radios as small as a tuna tin, how to put up an
emergency antenna, the latest information on advanced digital communications,
finding and fixing radio frequency interference problems to purchasing your
first station equipment or handi-talkie and a special "Ask the Experts"
forum. There will also be a Special Event Station set up and operational on
HF.
HRU 2002 is a cooperative effort between over twenty clubs and
organizations in the New York City/ Long Island area. It is also the American
Radio Relay League, New York City/ Long Island Section Convention. Besides
the forums, there will be tables set up with information about the different
groups, ham radio classes, exam session schedules, public service and other
activities.
Join us for a day of fun and education for the whole family!
