Kraptv: Added slide deck for talk

{{link-banner}}

Thank you to everyone who gave a talk. If you didn't, then you should start thinking about what you could talk about at EMF 2016. The talk and workshop schedule can be found [https://frab.emfcamp.org/en/EMF2014/public/schedule/0 here].

There is a list of talks below, including links to resources from the talks and videos when available. If you gave a talk, please add anything which people light like to look back at (eg. suggested reading/resources, links to books on Amazon, templates for making anything you talked about).

Kraptv: Updated my talk title "Amateur Radio: The Original Nerd Hobby"

{{Village
|Name=Amateur Radio
|Description=ham radio at it's finest.
|Contact=Paul
|Activities=Radio... durr
|Location=51.967000, -0.793989
}}

Moved from [[radio]]

'''We have a [https://lists.emfcamp.org/listinfo/hamradio mailing list] - please subscribe!
'''

==Things to during EMF==
===Radio Village Workshops/Talks===
We plan on running some small talks/workshops on a fairly informal basis, these will include:
* Introduction to software defined radio - Dominic
* Something TBD - Paul
* Amateur Radio: The Original Nerd Hobby - Ryan Sayre (2E0RYS / KG7NMC)
* YOUR_TALK_HERE

===Contests===
During EMF the following contests will be running

http://www.hornucopia.com/contestcal/contestdetails.php?ref=99

http://www.hornucopia.com/contestcal/contestdetails.php?ref=98

http://www.hornucopia.com/contestcal/contestdetails.php?ref=101

===Special Event Station===
Paul (M0OKE) has applied for an NoV for a special call sign for a special event station, '''[[GB2EMF]]'''.

This has been granted.

Colin (G8TMV) has organised RSGB posters and info leaflets.

===Talk In===
Talk in has been suggested on 2/70 on Friday. Operator(s) required. Assuming 145.550 MHz.

===Modes & Bands===

Steve M0SPN intends to run Voice, PSK and SSTV on HF. VHF/UHF dependent on availability of masts and beams.

Iain MM6MVQ intends to have an SSTV receiving station operating during EMF on 70cm (exact freq. TBC) that will tweet any images received to a dedicated Twitter account. For details on this, contact [mailto:irl@fsfe.org irl@fsfe.org].

==Local Stuff==

===Clubs===
* Milton Keynes ARS (MKARS) are literally just up the road from the campsite - http://www.mkars.org.uk/

===Repeaters===
It would be very cool to have a dedicated on-site repeater just for EMF. The practicality wouldn't be too difficult -- M0RND can provide a 2m/70cm colinear (which might be able to be hosted on the main EMF mast), and there's no shortage of radios which can do cross-band repeat, or something could be lashed up with two Baofeng UV-B5 radios and a diplexer.

The awkward part would be getting an NoV for the repeater, and getting it in time for EMF.

oh man. There's supposed to be a wiki page here? I suppose so.

I will be presenting a somewhat short presentation on amateur radio as the original nerd hobby and juxtapose that with the new modern maker movement.

I often say ''''participate in progress rather than question results.'''' - I would hope you share my sentiment and get busy making awesome stuff!

Woop woop! . :-)
