Freewheeler Cartoon Short

When I say short, I mean short.  While experimenting with cartoon animation, I decided to play with the Freewheeler theme..

The Freewheelers are a bunch of hams who get together on 3.916mhz almost every night.  

We entertain the notion that we are riding a big magic bus that cruises the country picking up checki-ins.  

This is where this bus cartoon idea came from.  

I am no artist, I admit, but I enjoyed playing around with animation.

Parade and Ceremony of Veteran's Day - Monroe, La - 2012

This video was taken at the Chennault Military and Aviation Museum, Monroe, Louisiana when myself and a few other hams volunteered to assist with the morning parade.

I shot this video both to highlight the Parade and people who attended the opening ceremony.  The focus was on Vietnam Veteran's since the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall was set up on location.

Here's my video.  Look at the previous post to see the still photographs I took.

Hams Assist with the Veteran's Day Parade At Chennault Avation Museum (Monroe, Louisiana)

Hams from around Northeast Louisiana converged at Chennault military and Aviation Museum on Friday November 9, 2012 to assist with the Veteran's Day Parade in observance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.  

This parade was held Friday because the Vietnam Memorial (traveling) Wall was in town and set up on location at the museum.

Many people attended the opening ceremony following the parade.

Some of the area hams helping out were:  W5DSG, KB5YEG, KA5JNL, KF5HLX, AB5YS, N5ARM, KD5ITA, W5KGT,  and, myself, KE5UTN.

The first set of pictures below are of the hams in the process of helping out.

Below them, the second set are all the stills taken, including those of the hams.
