Help me to elmer!

[k8djk]

I've submitted my presentation topic to Ignite Detroit (http://www.ignitedetroit.net) about Ham radio. I'd be presenting to over 200 people who generally have open and inquiring minds and could take an interest in the hobby.

Coming up with 20 slides to go through with only 5 minutes to do it in, and talk about ham radio in a way that will inform and interest, is going to be a difficult task. Since ham radio wouldn't be possible with community involvement and support, I'd like to ask for any suggestions on points to make or examples that I could use to help illustrate just how awesome our hobby and service is!

The hardest part however, is first getting selected! If you could please help out by voting for my presentation (up to 3 times), I'd stand a better chance of hoping to elmer lots of people!

I'll also make available the presentation, with audio, after the event so others can modify and use it wherever they please.

You can associate an already existing account with another site, so sign up is as easy as signing in.

Thanks in advance and cheers!

Though it'd probably bad luck to even talk about it, should I not get selected, I'll still work on creating a presentation that I'll be using at our Skywarn trainings and other public events.

Thanks all the support that I've gotten. I need one last push today to make sure that I stay in the top 7!

If you could vote if you've not, or spread the link for others to vote, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again and 73,
Andrew, K8DJK

Thanks to everyone for the support and votes. My presentation has been selected and now it's time to think about and put it together!

Cheers!

It's a pity we don't know the results.
