Starting in November, Ralph KI6ZJB will be running a Social Media campaign to advertise the upcoming Ham Radio Classes. This campaign will be run until Christmas. This is so that we will have time to order the books for those that sign up.

With all the news articles that have been written about how Ham Radio has helped and is still helping those in the Caribbean Islands. Please send all links to the articles to Ralph so that he can highlight the articles in the campaign. Links to these articles will be used in the campaigns.  The other thing that is needed for the campaign is pictures of ham stations.  If any of you are proud of what you stations looks like, please let Ralph know so that he can take pictures of the station.  No-one will know it is your station. We just need images of various stations to use.

The goal of the Campaign

By doing the campaign, we are hoping to get more people signed up for the class than ever before. Have a younger group that can help in more ways. Get more volunteers for when a disaster occurs.  Have more fun with more people in the club.

Please help spread the word when this starts and when you see the ads on Facebook, please reshare them. It will be focused to the Coachella Valley.

Posting Pictures on Facebook

As mentioned last month, all pictures are going to be posted on the Desert R.A.T.S Facebook page. For those of you that do not have Facebook, please let us know who you are. If there is enough to warrant posting them on Google+ as well, we will.  The nice thing about Google+ is that you can follow someone without them really knowing who you are and you do not need to be active. If you have a Gmail e-mail address, you already have a Google+ account. If you have an Android cellphone or tablet, you have a Google+ account. You need to be shown how to access it.

To post a picture to the Desert RATS Facebook page please go to the page at  https://www.facebook.com/desertratsarc/

You will see a small box with the wording that says “Write something on this Page…”  Click into that area.  When you do that there will be three icon appear below.  The one that looks like a camera is the one you click on to add an image.  You can add multiple images if you wish. You can also tag people that are in the image if you are friends with them on Facebook.

The other thing you can do is show that you are attending the meetings by checking into the page as well.  The is the icon on the right of the three icons.
