Radio in the Fishing Industry

Mark Meltzer, AF6IM will present an insiders view on radio in the commercial fishing trade. This will cover the spectrum from legal communications gear to bandit radios and will give a unique look into the role of scramblers, direction finding gear, Doppler spoofers, near field signal detection and other tricks of the trade. Mark’s view of non FCC approved radios on seagoing vessels is not 100% negative, which is guaranteed to raise some controversy among hams. His presentation will include first hand accounts of emergencies, rescues and loss of life in the world’s most dangerous profession. Be sure mark this event on your calendar.

Please RSVP to Joel if you are selling items and need some space or bringing a food dish.

I have posted the set of personal photos I took on the KPH coast station Field Trip. I took 246 photographs, but haven’t yet filtered them to remove the blurry ones, the ones with my thumb in the foreground, etc.

Enjoy!
