John Portune W6NBC will present live, in-person remote lectures to your radio club or ham convention on a variety of ham radio topics, at your schedule, using video conferencing/meeting software, typically Zoom. Lectures are 45 minutes to an hour in length.

To act as host, you will need on your computer a paid subscription version of the remote meeting software, with no meeting time limit.

I do this free of charge, as a retiree from broadcast television, purely for pleasure and personal stimulation, live from my home QTH in California, using Zoom or any other remote presentation/meeting software. The software you will need for a Zoom meeting may be downloaded from: zoom.us  See link below. The requirements for taking part in a remote meeting/lecture are very modest.

Follow the directions on the home page to schedule a lecture for your club.

In your club meeting, introduce me as you normally would a local speaker. Zoom meetings are two-way. During and after the presentation, your members may ask quesitons and make comments.

Feel free to record the session for the reference of your members. You may distribute or publish the recording for non-commercial purposes.

If you would like to chat before scheduling a meeting, to become more familiar with the process, send an email to: w6nbcmail@gmail.com or phone (805) 406-6176 any morning 7-10 AM Pacific time, Wednesday through Sunday. The Zoom website also has several simple tutorials on how Zoom meetings work with answers to common questions.
