Special Zoom Event
SFARC welcomes Ed Fong (WB6IQN) to the club Zoom room for a special presentation on antennas. Ed is the inventor of the DBJ-1 and DBJ-2 antenna that was featured in the February 2003 and March 2007 QST.
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 29, 2023, at 7:00 PM.
Ed will give a history of how these antennas were developed and the theory on how and why they work so well.

Hams In The Snow
In case you missed it in this week’s “Watts Up At SFARC”
To All Hams (hoping to get) In The Hills,
This Saturday we’re going to do a impromptu snow run for anyone interested. We will meet at Mar-Val’s grocery in Georgetown, Saturday (February 4) at 0800. We will head east on Wentworth Springs Road and see how far Paul (W2OHV) can go and how many of us need to be pulled out.
Bring lunch and a camp chair.
A recovery point on your vehicle would be good but you can count your receiver hitch as a recovery point. Be able to remove the ball from your hitch, if needed.
