Daisy book version of Handiham World Summer 2010 is releasedDAISY books provide spoken word audio that is connected to text. The Summer Handiham World will soon arrive in regular print, but that isn't much good to our blind members, except for the giving envelope that will be enclosed. We are hoping that our members will help us out with a little extra this summer so that we can keep our services coming.
August Events by N1YXUAugust Events I hope you are enjoying your summer and that you have been “radio active”. Please take a look through the August Events information.

Bet you didn't know the "Y" offered radio classes!The YMCA actually offered radio-electronics classes, and they advertised them in a 1933 QST magazine. Can you say "YMCA" in Morse? The text of the ad reads: Radio Operating, Radio Servicing. Prepare for the new Government Radio Operating license examinations. Radio Operator, Marine & Broadcasting. Also Radio Amateur Telegraph & Telephone. Resident courses. Write for booklet "Opportunities in Radio". West Side YMCA Trade & Technical Schools, 4 West 63rd Street, New York City. Don't bother applying for this class in 2010!

Update: Larry Huggins, KA0LSG, Handiham Volunteer, holds the Wouxun HT on cover of WorldradioLast week's mention of the Wouxun talking dual band handheld radio created quite a stir, so we are devoting some time to a follow up. I heard from a number of our readers and listeners who said that the PDF online version of the "With the Handihams" article was difficult to read because of the PDF layout. Although the magazine has done a great job making the layout easy to follow for sighted readers, I have heard that there is a need for a more straightforward text version for our blind readers and listeners. I have placed the text of the article on the Handiham website, as well as a link to an audio version of the article read by Bob Zeida, N1BLF, who reads for us and for The Talking Information Center of the Massachusetts Reading network. Since we didn't specify retailers, we also provide you a link to some sources.
