Wayne, et al; For a few years I gave a PP presentation at local libraries, and a Pacificon a few times, called "The Wide, Wide World of Amateur Radio." Sometimes I was able to give this presentation the week before Field Day, and on FD I would set up a small demo station with a solar panel and my K2 or KX3. People were often interested to hear that I built the K2 from a kit. For the library presentations, I sometimes had ham friends bring in some equipment to talk about after the main talk. They would be set up at satellite tables in the room for personalized Q&A. The presentation itself featured video clips of people doing disaster station setup, ad-hoc mesh networks, working DX, building small kits at hamfests. I also had clips of meteor scatter and EME signals. I discussed license classes, suitable beginner radios, local VE testing, etc. It's been a few years since I've done this, but if anyone is interested I could try digging up the PP (after digging up whatever laptop it's on) as long as you use it for source material (put your own name on it) and not give it verbatum as one ham did for his club. It needs extensive updating.
