From Warren, KD4GUA:
This Sunday we will discuss "Medical Dogtags." The new ones are a far cry from the simple ident bracelets of the past which with a few words informed medics that a person was allergic to penicillin.
Who needs them and what is available? How about a thumb-(flash)drive necklace?
Tune in 14.307, 11 am Eastern, should be fun.

MARCO Grand Rounds debuts on Skype
On August 15, KM2L and N4TSC pioneered the use of Skype to disseminate MARCO Grand Rounds.
Jerry, N4TSC, lives too close to net control station KD4GUA in Florida to hear him. At Jerry's urging, Bruce, KM2L fed the net as heard at his QTH in New York into Skype and Jerry monitored the connection at home.
The Skype audio is delayed about 0.1 second compared with that received directly, so Jerry had to deal with that weirdness when listening to stations who were audible at both locations. As both operators climb the learning curve, the experience will improve.
Contact the editor of this blog if you are interested in participating.

MARCO Grand Rounds for August 8, 2010
From Warren KD4GUA:
Originally called "9-Eleven" it is now called 9-1-1 because there is no eleven on the dial phone. With all those sirens blowing and squad cars reeling it costs 20 times the cost of a taxi--who pays for it? What happened to "Number Please--call the fire department?"
Bring your pros and cons and join us on 14.307, Sunday 10 am Eastern
One heck of a net last week on "How to Ration Health Care Ethically."
This week we will discuss, "TECHNOLOGY OVER PERSONALIZED SERVICE--911".
