[Fwd: KSBW Field-Day Video with K3]

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ]

I received a nice surprise watching the news late last night when a K3
popped up on the screen at the end of this story. (See the link below.)

They actually had two ham radio related stories. Field Day, and earlier
in the broadcast, the story on moon bouncing that has appeared in the NY
Times and elsewhere.

Lots of K3s in this operation, with a couple great close-up shots.

I just wish we could get that kind of coverage and understanding over  
here.
It appears in the US, the media and public are much more aware of the  
part amateur radio can play in national emergencies and just generally  
(you have a big country with places with no cell coverage etc).

Same situation over here David.

Even in items about CB or "pirate" music transmitters the media misuses the term radio-amateur.
If you say a technical/regulations exam is mandatory  for this hobby people are highly surprised.
Why do you need that to play deejay on the air?

Even to the local authorities you have to explain putting up an antenna (which has restrictions here) is not for transmitting music....

Good commercial btw Eric, nice close ups of the brand label!
And a well chosen contrast with the other ....eh.....HF thingy..... :-)

I think the neatest thing about this video is that there were YOUNG people there! That's encouraging. Nice press for Amateur Radio and Elecraft too.

Wonder what she meant by "the old way"??? ;o)
