5TH WEDNESDAY PRESENTATION ON ZOOM

Special Zoom Presentation – “Going On Your First DXpedition”

Join SFARC on July 31st @ 7:30 PM in the Club Zoom Room as Alan (K7AR) will give a presentation on setting up for your first DXpedition. As a follow-up to his excellent presentation on FT8 Fox/Hound mode, Alan will go into what it takes to plan, set up for, and work a DXpedition. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in what goes into an operation, gaining an appreciation of those that make it possible for hams to work exotic locations, and understanding the challenges involved in traveling abroad with radio equipment. All are welcome to join!
