Al’s Experience With The Segate Wireless Router.

As hams we make purchases from time to time. What better place to share our experiences than in the club’s blog. I invite everyone who has recently purchased a new, or new to them rig to share their experience with the group. Al was nice enough to give us an example to model our reporting after. Essentially I am looking for one or two images and a paragraph or two.

I got the Seagate wireless to working this evening. It is very user friendly to set up. It already has folders and is formatted for a PC I was able to drag and drop photos from my main PC at a pretty good clip. I do not have USB 3.0 which would have made it even faster but still did 18 GB in about 15 minutes. I then deleted some of that, and it went much faster on the delete than the transfer. I downloaded the Seagate App to my iPad, and had the usual Apple App problems but after careful reading, I accessed the photos and Seagate sample of video and docs on the Apple with speed that is certainly satisfactory—faster than my Internet connection by far. My next task is to drag some photos to permanent storage on the iPad from the Seagate. Tomorrow, I hope. Once again, I do not consider the iPad to be very friendly in that there is no equivalent of Windows Explorer which I use a lot—we’ll see. So far it is a really useful and neat tool. They say it will hold 300 videos and accommodate three users (phones, tablets or laptops)simultaneously. The 2TB would do even more.

Bill,

Just another note of THANKS to your groups for such a fantastic job at the 5th annual Warrior Walk in Lakeland. I received so many compliments about your group and the extraordinary help you all provided. Especially to me and my key contacts. As a matter of fact, I wish we would have connected years ago as I could have used your talent and services for years prior. It would have made this event MUCH easier!!

Thank you again for everything you provided and the services you offered. What a fantastic event and you were a big part of making it as smooth as possible.

Lakeland’s 5th Annual Warrior Walk

Detailed information under the flyer.

Wounded Warrior Walk Date: Saturday, July 19, 2014
Time: 6:30 A.M. ( 13 minutes before sunrise)
Place: First Presbyterian Church at 175 Lake Hollingsworth Drive. That’s the big (only)
church on the east side of the lake. Same location as the recent March of Dimes event.

Parking for volunteers is available via the north (left) driveway.

If you are coming from the Bartow area on US 98 turn left at the first
traffic light past Grove Park Shopping center. Follow Crystal Lake Drive to Lake
Hollingsworth Drive where you will turn right and find the church 100 yards on your right.

If you are coming from the Tampa or north Lakeland area go south on US98 which becomes
Bartow High Way. Don’t miss the turn. Continue on US98 then turn south (right ) onto
Hollingsworth Road (At Lakeland Senior High School) which will take you to Lake Hollingsworth
Drive. Turn left to the church.

From South Lakeland, take Cleveland Heights or Beacon to Lake Hollingsworth.

Freq: Lakeland repeater. Don’t forget to charge your handhelds. I will be on the air
by 5:00 A.M. Call for “Bill” or WW1WDP

Contrary to previous information assignments will be made at the church that morning. I have
the LARC safety vests; don’t forget your name tags.

I thank each and every one of you for helping to make this a great event.

At the March of Dimes walk several of us saw the essential donut delivery guy in
his $50,000.00 Audi forget his manners and cause a scene. We were all really glad
he wasn’t associated with us.
Proverbs 15:1 “A soft answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Be ready
for heat, egos and tempers.

For those who are interested and available, the small American flags will be placed
on the church grounds at 9:00 AM Wednesday morning.
