A Message from the Chair – Ham Radio University 2011
This year we will be holding our twelfth Ham Radio University and New York City / Long Island Section Convention on Sunday, January 9, 2011. Ham Radio University will take place at Briarcliffe College on 1055 Stewart Avenue in Bethpage, NY. Our sponsoring club in 2011 is the Kings County Repeater Association. HRU is made possible the collective efforts of more than twenty local Amateur Radio organizations as well as the American Radio Relay League.
What is HRU? Many of you have already heard of Ham Radio University but the idea may be new to some of you. HRU was created by Phil Lewis, N2MUN. Phil was searching for ways to get inactive hams back into the swing of Amateur Radio. In addition, Phil wanted to help newly licenced hams who ask “What Now?”. Since 1999, HRU has been bringing the local ham community together for a special day of learning and fellowship.
This year’s keynote speaker will be ARRL President Kay Craigie N3KN.
In 2009, Kay gave us all a “homework assignment” to explore some new aspect of Amateur Radio. Our HRU 2011 lineup of forums provides the perfect opportinuty to continue pursuing new avenues of fun and excitement.
We will have a special event station, W2V, on the air with tradional modes as well as PSK-31. You’re encouraged to check out the special event station and operate.
Refreshments aill be available in the college cafeteria, which will be transformed into an Eyeball QSO room with club tables from the various local and national organizations that support Ham Radio University.
In short, there is something for everybody at Ham Radio University. If you have not been to an HRU, I encourage you to attend this year.
– Tom KA2D
