The National World War 1 Museum will host the Warrensburg Area Amateur
Radio Club Inc, in recognition of the 1914 Christmas Truce.
For further information, please visit https://theworldwar.org/amateurradio
Since this is going to be based out of Kansas City, should be pretty easy
for most of the US to pick up this special event call!
Edit: And yes, Canada too! Sorry, didnt mean to discriminate! submitted

Should I Even Care Anymore?
Posted: 23 Dec 2014 03:26 PM PST

Hey /r/amateurRadio, I got into ham so I could operate analog video over
ISM bands for RC aircraft A.K.A. First Person View. I am not here to
discuss the FAA or any recent rulings about sUAS, but rather FCC licencing
or lack there-of.
I run a RC based meetup group and have been active locally in the FPV
community. In addition to fly-ins I also hold monthly VE testing meets at a
few different locations. Today a guy posted this in my VE test meetup: "So
I was checking out the study flash cards on hamstudy and I do not see the
relevance of knowing such knowledge to safely and legally operate an FPV RC
aircraft. I am operating on 1 of 8 channels of the 5.8GHz frequency (my
transmitter only does 8 channels), yet knowing this information does
nothing for me or the people around me in terms of safety or from a
security aspects. How does knowing this information help anyone in the
hobby? How does knowing "Why is it important to have a low SWR in an
antenna system that uses coaxial cable feed line?" have anything to do with
RC hobbyists? I feel my time would be better spend learning the laws/rules
and regulations for flying in my state." He then RSVPed no to the meet.
Sorry if that statement made your brain hurt.
This is by far the most popular mindset among the community, with even
FPV "Elmers" responding that unlicensed use has never been an issue so why
bother.
All FPV transmitters are not part 15 compliant AFAIK, many guys run on
international bands not legal in the USA. Not to mention all the
new "Aerial Photographers" charging $$$ for Drone photo shoots using non
compliant FPV transmitters.
So are they right? Am I wasting time and effort encouraging FPV hobbyists
to come to VE meetups? Should I stop IDing and switch to the lesser used
international frequencies?
TL;DR Most Radio Controlled First Person View hobbyists use non compliant
video transmitters without ham tickets and dont care. Should I care?
