I will be hosting an online meeting demonstration on Friday from
1200-1300L. I will be showing documents, applications, portions of a
PowerPoint slide show, and my recent POTA activation video. I will
entertain questions and comments. You may log in at anytime and stay as
long as you like.

This will basically be an example of what an online virtual club meeting
may be like.

For those not available at this time, I can repeat at other times. The demo
is best with several attendees, although it will work with just one besides
the host. If you want another demo, try to get a couple others to join us
at that time.

These instructions are for PC and Linux users. For now, Mac, iPad, and
smartphone users are on your own. I have not had the time or resources to
test these devices.

Point your web browser to freeconferencecall.com.
Click on Online Meetings, select Join Meeting
For Online Meeting ID enter w7ore then click Submit
Put in your name and email address. (It does not have to be a real address.
It just has to be formatted properly, e.g. somebody at somewhere.com) For your
name, put what you want to
show on everyone's screen, e.g. Michael WA7SKG. Then click Join
After a few seconds, you should see whatever I have on my screen at the
time. At the top, click on the telephone handset.
Choose your audio preference. If you have a microphone and speaker on your
computer, then click mic & speakers. If you do not have mic and speakers on
your computer, click Telephone and call in by phone using the information
at the top of the screen.
The computer will tell you to announce yourself. Say Hi.

Please, DO NOT click on the video camera icon next to the handset.

That's pretty much it. We'll discuss other things when you get checked in.

Any problems, please call or text me at 817-313-2002.

Michael
