We have the Astron ss-25, Jeneen brought this into the Fire House during the Power Outage last year, it is small and has meters for amps and volt I love the meters. It is easy to carry around and super quiet. It is a switching power supply.

Terry and i did a whole bunch of tests after we got our license last summer from various places on skyline and up he hill, and we had a very mixed bag of success with our handhelds. For example, we have never been able to connect to home via the…[Read more]

Hi Pat,

I think the electronic form of the Newsletter is a winner! Like many of the new practices we are evolving during this pandemic should be here to stay 🙂

Wow! This is fantastic, Angelo. I love the systematic/modular approach and scenario-based custom kits *with photos*. Thank you so much for putting this together.

Neil…So sorry to miss this! I’ll be out backpacking this weekend (as you may have noticed, February is he new May) and Terry has a Poetry gig. I really hope there’ll be another chance for a hands-on workshop.

Can we add welcoming new HAMs to the agenda, explain advantage for joining the cluub as well as ARES. I am in touch with Kathleen Dickey and Martine Habib, i told them about the meeting and they said they would come. I will send them the forms.

What time you want people to show up for setup?

I’d like to take the General test.

We (myself) and Terry KN6CZH will bring a salad and some wine.
