RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Convention topics

I'm shooting to finish Solo by about the end of the year, so she
definitely won't be ready for the convention. But she'll be 95% done,
which is probably enough to do a review of the design and construction
process. I have enough material by now for days, but I guess the most
one can expect to engage an audience for is probably 2 hours. I think
I'd organize it as a general introduction to the design objectives,
followed by a series of very specific practical problems and solutions,
including perhaps some solutions that I either threw out or am
considering for the future. We could call the presentation something
like "Design and fabrication challenges in the construction of a
hydrobatic submarine". 

All of the expertise is assumed and none of it real, since Solo has not
been in the water yet. But it'll be fun none the less.

I know, I know, I owe the group some photo updates...

Hi,

I am looking for ideas and presenters for this year's convention in
Portland, Oregon. Any hams out there? Do any of you have any expertise,
assumed or real, that you would like to share at the convention?
Projects, experience, knowledge, white papers,.... 

Dave Walls and I are working some ideas already but all is in
preliminary stages thus too early to announce. However plenty of time
for your ideas.

Regards,
Ray
