<div>= A New HOPE is Happening in 2022! =<br />
<br />
'''A New HOPE''' is a '''THREE DAY EVENT''', spanning from ''Friday, July 22nd through Sunday, July 24th, 2022''. The event is live and in-person, at our brand new wonderful location:<br><br />

A New HOPE will include scheduled talks, panels, workshops, keynotes, geeky vendors, food, art, concerts, performances, and much more! <br />

<br />

We have a [[Ticket_Exchange|Ticket Exchange wiki page]] for connecting people who want a ticket with people who have extra tickets.<br />
<br />
== Your Arrival at A New HOPE, Parking, and Pedestrians ==<br />
<br />
Everyone attending A New HOPE must provide proof of vaccination before getting their conference badge (see the COVID-19 Safety item, below). Once you provide your proof of vaccination, you will next go to the Registration Desk to get your badge. Your badge is for all 3 conference days, so don't lose it.<br />
<br />
If you are parking on campus, use Gate 6 to park in the parking structure. You will get a parking pass when you get your badge, to display on your dashboard (yes, you need to walk to provide proof of vaccination, then to Registration, then back to your vehicle - sorry about that). Parking is free, and for the entire conference.<br />
<br />
For the Gate 6 location, see the St. John's [https://www.stjohns.edu/sites/default/files/2019-02/m1-10649_queens_map_legend.pdf campus map]. Driving directions from the west: Head west on the Grand Central Parkway and exit right at 188th St. At the light make a left and then an immediate right and stay on that street until you get to Utopia Parkway. Stay on the service road and make a left on 168th St and a right on Goethals Ave and Gate 6 will be right in front of you. <br />
<br />
If you are taking public transportation, you will likely enter via Gate 5. Note that Gate 6 is the only entry between 11pm and 6am for pedestrians or drivers, and you will need your conference badge for admission to campus.<br />
<br />
== COVID-19 Safety ==<br />
All in-person attendees for A New HOPE need to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Attendees will show proof of vaccination upon check-in. This will be separate from registration and we will NOT save that information. (This allows you to attend the conference under an alias while filling the above requirement.)<br><br />
<br><br />
All attendees will be required to wear a mask indoors at St. John's University throughout A New HOPE.<br />

<hr />
<div>= A New HOPE is Happening in 2022! =<br />
<br />
'''A New HOPE''' is a '''THREE DAY EVENT''', spanning from ''Friday, July 22nd through Sunday, July 24th, 2022''. The event is live and in-person, at our brand new wonderful location:<br><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;St. John's Univeristy, in Queens, New York City.<br><br />
A New HOPE will include scheduled talks, panels, workshops, keynotes, geeky vendors, food, art, concerts, performances, and much more! <br />
<br />
As with all HOPE conferences, you will be able to watch all of the talks for free online, live-streamed. They will also all be recorded and available online after the conference.<br />
<br />
== Virtual Attendance ==<br />
All in-person attendees also get access to the full virtual program. This includes the online Matrix chat, and the ability to watch livestreams of all talks.<br />
<br />
See the [[Matrix How-To]] for information on getting connected to Matrix for chat and Q&A.<br />
<br />
The livestream links will be posted just before A New HOPE begins, and will be via YouTube and other mechanisms.<br />
<br />
A New HOPE is also live in the Mozilla Hubs 3D virtual world. Click [https://hubs.mozilla.com/zWXK8U6/hope2022/ HERE] to enter Hubs.<br />
<br />
== NEED A TICKET? ==<br />
We have a [[Ticket_Exchange|Ticket Exchange wiki page]] for connecting people who want a ticket with people who have extra tickets.<br />
<br />
== Your Arrival at A New HOPE, Parking, and Pedestrians ==<br />
<br />
Everyone attending A New HOPE must provide proof of vaccination before getting their conference badge (see the COVID-19 Safety item, below). Once you provide your proof of vaccination, you will next go to the Registration Desk to get your badge. Your badge is for all 3 conference days, so don't lose it.<br />
<br />
If you are parking on campus, use Gate 6 to park in the parking structure. You will get a parking pass when you get your badge, to display on your dashboard (yes, you need to walk to provide proof of vaccination, then to Registration, then back to your vehicle - sorry about that). Parking is free, and for the entire conference.<br />
<br />
For the Gate 6 location, see the St. John's [https://www.stjohns.edu/sites/default/files/2019-02/m1-10649_queens_map_legend.pdf campus map]. Driving directions from the west: Head west on the Grand Central Parkway and exit right at 188th St. At the light make a left and then an immediate right and stay on that street until you get to Utopia Parkway. Stay on the service road and make a left on 168th St and a right on Goethals Ave and Gate 6 will be right in front of you. <br />
<br />
If you are taking public transportation, you will likely enter via Gate 5. Note that Gate 6 is the only entry between 11pm and 6am for pedestrians or drivers, and you will need your conference badge for admission to campus.<br />
<br />
== COVID-19 Safety ==<br />
All in-person attendees for A New HOPE need to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Attendees will show proof of vaccination upon check-in. This will be separate from registration and we will NOT save that information. (This allows you to attend the conference under an alias while filling the above requirement.)<br><br />
<br><br />
All attendees will be required to wear a mask indoors at St. John's University throughout A New HOPE.<br />
<br />
== HOPE wiki accounts ==<br />
If you are a ticket-holder (either in-person or virtual) or a presenter, and would like to create a wiki page for A New HOPE, please contact us, and we will create an account for you. Please email us:<br><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;workshops AT hope DOT net<br />

There will be a lot of diverse workshops scheduled throughout A New HOPE! Each will have its own wiki page. Stay tuned...<br />
<br />
The Workshop schedule will soon be posted on the HOPE website at [https://www.hope.net https://www.hope.net]. There will also be an index of all Workshops on this wiki.<br />
<br />
There will be no registration available for workshops at A New HOPE. All workshops are first-come, first-served. Some workshops will be given twice.<br />
<br />
<br />

A New HOPE will have lots of cool Villages, where cool things may be happening at any time! Some will have scheduled workshops, films, and performances as well. Each Village will have its own wiki page. There will also be an index of Villages on this wiki.<br />
<br />
There will also be a large area with plenty of tables and chairs and AC power where anyone at HOPE can create a Village.

=== HOPE 2020 Radio Nets ===<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Single Sideband (phone/voice) NETS ON HF BANDS ====<br />
<br />
Henry "Strick" W6REK is announcing 20m and 40m radio nets on four days, Wednesday through Saturday (in North America).<br />
<br />
Net controls and relays may be under a W2H call sign (possibly "W2H portable six")<br />
or with their individual call sign. We need relays, if you can help.<br />
W6REK will be transmitting from San Jose, California.<br />
<br />
Listen for us, up or down, within 20 kilocycles of the frequencies below.<br />
Once we start, we will post the exact frequency to the _Hallway Discussions_ channel on Riot<br />
( https://riot.hope.net/#/room/#hallway-conversations:hope.net )<br />
since our station W2H has traditionally been located in the _Hallway_ on the 18th floor.<br />

==== Other nets? TBD... ====<br />
<br />
HOPE XI is the first year we ran an Amateur Radio repeater encouraging licensed attendees to make new contacts. We tried adding an [http://echolink.org/ Echolink node] so we could have global reach but it did not work out. <br />
<br />
Is anyone organizing a VHF, UHF, or internet-mediated net (like DMR or Echolink or Allstar)?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== W2H Operating Schedule ===<br />
To ensure maximum opportunity, we will have multiple stations across the US operating as W2H this week according to the schedule below.<br />

Arm yourself with at minimum access to an [http://websdr.org/ WebSDR site] or a [https://a.co/aksM6al cheap Software Defined Radio (SDR) kit] with a modest outside wire antenna<br />
running a SDR live distro like [https://skywavelinux.com/ Skywave]. Here are a list of challenes that involve capturing various signals.<br />
<br />
* Find three time stations on the HF Band from three different countries<br />
* Besides time, what other services do some of theses time stations provide<br />
* Find a NDB beacon serving an airport local to you. (Hint: they are between 150 to 500 KHz)<br />
* Where is the nearest NOAA Weather station to you (Hint: stations are on VHF)<br />

==== Single Sideband (phone/voice) NETS ON HF BANDS ====<br />
<br />
Henry "Strick" W6REK is announcing 20m and 40m radio nets on four days, Wednesday through Saturday (in North America).<br />
<br />
Net controls and relays may be under a W2H call sign (possibly "W2H portable six")<br />
or with their individual call sign. We need relays, if you can help.<br />
W6REK will be transmitting from San Jose, California.<br />
<br />
Listen for us, up or down, within 20 kilocycles of the frequencies below.<br />
Once we start, we will post the exact frequency to the _Hallway Discussions_ channel on Riot<br />
( https://riot.hope.net/#/room/#hallway-conversations:hope.net )<br />
since our station W2H has traditionally been located in the _Hallway_ on the 18th floor.<br />

=== HOPE 2020 Radio Nets ===<br />
<br />
==== Single Sideband (phone/voice) NETS ON HF BANDS ====<br />
<br />
Henry "Strick" W6REK is announcing 20m and 40m radio nets on four days, Wednesday through Saturday (in North America).<br />
<br />
Net controls and relays may be under a W2H call sign (possibly "W2H portable six")<br />
or with their individual call sign. We need relays, if you can help.<br />
W6REK will be transmitting from San Jose, California.<br />
<br />
Listen for us, up or down, within 20 kilocycles of the frequencies below.<br />
Once we start, we will post the exact frequency to the _Hallway Discussions_ channel on Riot<br />
( https://riot.hope.net/#/room/#hallway-conversations:hope.net )<br />
since our station W2H has traditionally been located in the _Hallway_ on the 18th floor.<br />

==== Single Sideband (phone/voice) NETS ON HF BANDS ====<br />
<br />
Henry "Strick" W6REK is announcing 20m and 40m radio nets on four days, Wednesday through Saturday (in North America).<br />
<br />
Net controls and relays may be under a W2H call sign (possibly "W2H portable six")<br />
or with their individual call sign. We need relays, if you can help.<br />
W6REK will be transmitting from San Jose, California.<br />
<br />
Listen for us, up or down, within 20 kilocycles of the frequencies below.<br />
Once we start, we will post the exact frequency to the _Hallway Discussions_ channel on Riot<br />

=== HOPE 2020 Radio Nets ===<br />
<br />
==== Single Sideband (phone/voice) NETS ON HF BANDS ====<br />
<br />
Henry "Strick" W6REK is announcing 20m and 40m radio nets on four days, Wednesday through Saturday (in North America).<br />
<br />
Net controls and relays may be under a W2H call sign (possibly "W2H portable six")<br />
or with their individual call sign. We need relays, if you can help.<br />
W6REK will be transmitting from San Jose, California.<br />
<br />
Listen for us, up or down, within 20 kilocycles of the frequencies below.<br />
Once we start, we will post the exact frequency to the _Hallway Discussions_ channel on Riot<br />
( https://riot.hope.net/#/room/#hallway-conversations:hope.net )<br />
since our station W2H has traditionally been located in the _Hallway_ on the 18th floor.<br />

HOPE XI is the first year we ran an Amateur Radio repeater encouraging licensed attendees to make new contacts. We tried adding an [http://echolink.org/ Echolink node] so we could have global reach but it did not work out. <br />
<br />
Is anyone organizing a VHF, UHF, or internet-mediated net (like DMR or Echolink or Allstar)?<br />
