Dayton comment

[BROOKER Jim]

It was great fun volunteering at the Elecraft booth at Dayton this
year.  Great to hang out with the Elecraft team and lots of fun talking
to the throngs of people who came by to see, touch or talk about the
K3.  Of course, while there, I just HAD to order a K3!!

I'd been perusing Steve Ford's blog on the ARRL website.  Friday
morning right after Hara Arena opened, the DS3 broadband to Hara
crashed and didn't come back up.  It was a challenge for people like
Steve trying to upload bits to the Internet.  Gave him a couple of tips
on free WiFi spots in the area when he came by the Elecraft booth on
Saturday.  He wanted me to stand next to the K3 and give him "about 30
seconds" of video/audio on the K3 to publish to the ARRL blog.  I
pointed him to Wayne Burdick.

When I got back to the QRP hotel, I checked out the blog and he'd
already posted the K3 with a photo and a link to Wayne's "live" demo.

See you (all) next year!

73,

Jim NG8E

Try cellular internet.  Works great.  Most of the cellular companies
have it. I use the Verizon version of it and it works FB.  I can use
it while travelling down the interstate (in the passenger seat).

I get 100 kb/s on my Sprint Treo 650, good enough for some purposes.
But you get tired typing with the tiny keyboard!

Yep, I had a PDA with cellular internet, and didn't care for either
the tiny keyboard or the stylus or the 320 X 200 screen.

So I switched to a Verizon PCMCIA cellular internet card in a Toshiba
12.1" laptop, which has a normal keyboard.

Much easier to type on and see, yet still relatively small and light.

Your Treo 650 can act like a Bluetooth modem to a laptop, then you can type
on that keyboard instead.  I think the 700p will do this also, and at at a
much faster rate.
