FIELD DAY WILL BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW ITWe’ve got another planning meeting coming up on Thursday, April 20th @ 6 PM in the Club Zoom Room.
We’re still in search of a chair for 2023. Interested?
ARRL World Amateur Radio Day is April 18, commemorating the founding of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) in 1925.
On World Amateur Radio Day, all radio amateurs are invited to take to the airwaves to enjoy our global friendship with other amateurs, and to show our skills and capabilities to the public. For more information, visit http://www.arrl.org/world-amateur-radio-day.
The objective is to explore the trails at McKinstry Peak and McKinstry Lake area. However, there is likely to be a fair amount of snow remaining in this area as well as on the roads leading to this area. In that case, we will be doing some snow wheeling and going where we can until the lead vehicle gets stuck.
Date: April 15th, 2023
Meetup: Mar Val’s Market on 6049 Front Street in Georgetown,
Meetup Time: 0800 / Departing at 0900.
Plan on joining? RSVP by using the form at THIS LINK <- located at the bottom of the page.
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.
** 03/01/23 UPDATE **
Due to changes in the weather, here are the new plans.
Meet: Mar Val’s Market in Georgetown
Target Departure Time: 0800
