Wednesday Activity Night we met on 28.415MHz USB and had a group of 11 check into the group. Most signals were very good. We even had a check-in from WA, N1JJB Joshua. Eight participants were able to copy Joshua. Very good night for 10m and a lot of fun. Roger was copying us on three different remote SDR receivers.
Our next meeting will be a week from this Thursday. Meeting date is May 28th.
This will be another Zoom meeting. A link for the meeting will be sent out in about a week.
This month, we're going to do shack tours and we need your pictures!
Send me your ham shack and antenna pictures and I'll assemble everything in a Powerpoint file for the meeting. We will then let you describe your station to us in detail as I pull up the pictures. Oh, and it never hurts to have a significant other, your cat, your dog, your gold fish, your garden, or whatever in the background. Let's make this a fun Zoom meeting.
I want all pictures. If all you have is a handy-talky, we want to see a picture of it! If you have multiple towers and antennas and rigs, we want to see them! If your broccoli is doing fine, well shoot a picture of it!
Send everything to me:
