Radio Symposium?

Recommended Posts

I've been in touch with a local HAM club with the idea of an evening S-Dar radio symposium. Topics would include repeater use, radio programming and some license issues.

Any interest?

Sorry for my ignorance but what is S-Dar? I am a VERY NEW Ham.

I need to get a VHF radio and the fixins to talk with my S-dar buddies, so I'd be interested.

...but what's a "symposium"? :party:

(I'm not that smart... don't know how I got this job in the first place...) ;)

Symposium

Famous dinner party dialogue (debate) written by Plato where Socrates mixes it up with opponents over the nature of Love. :)

PS

Unlike other posts of mine this one is actually true.

As you can see-it is raining out there today!

If a S-Dar symphony or whatever you wrote helps me figure out my radio better, then I'm interested.

I got my general amateur radio license years and years ago, but never did anything with it. I've always renewed it every five years though, so I still have it; and doing something with it is something I've kept in the back of my mind. So yes, I'd be interested as long as it's not on a day when I'm out of town and it isn't up in North County.

Great Idea...Hoping to afford the radio set up, maybe later on, but would love to get the training....

SDAR- San Diego Adventure Riders

Just guessing here... I'm kind of a VERY NEW S-Dar :scratch_one-s_head:

Duh.. My bad.. There is a digital ham technology called D-Star so I wasn't sure if it had something to do with that.

Count me in.

I would certainly go. Need to learn how to turn down your singing :scratch_one-s_head: Seriously though, I'm studying for my exam and would love some extra context.

Count me among you.

Passed my exam just this morning; Put a rainy day to good use for a change.

Learning how to use the repeaters and offsets, etc. would be great

Any symposium on the subject of love is attractive to me.

FakeName, you knew any semi-serious thread would migrate to nonsense, right?

Congrats Dave, you are way ahead of me.

By the way- the Symposium was made into a movie starring Peter Ustinov as Socrates. I think it is called "The Symposium".

Congratulations! When you get your callsign, program in Otay and we'll chat.

Yes, I knew this thread would digress. But we ain't here to do business, folks, so it's all good.

I'll continue with the ham guy to set something up.

All this talk about HAM and I'm getting hungry. Maybe some bacon . . . MMMMnnnnn.

Oh, and I would be intersted in a symposium. If it was a caucus or perhaps a shindig, I wouldn't be. But you just can't beat a good symposium. ;)

A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum . . . :-)

Wouldn't mind going if I'm in town and able to get some time to head to the meeting.

Coulda called it a salon.

Gimme a real Symposium.

I also want a real Socrates - maybe Peter Ustinov and since this a a Symposium about Ham Radios and Platonic Love I also want Geraldine Page who played his infamous wife Xantipe in the movie! The historical gossip is that she was a real Shrew! That should shake up the event! ;)

Would it be too ambitious to have a GPS colloquium afterward? I need some help with it too.

We can go over all your GPS questions at the KOA this weekend.....
