Thanks for the excellent (and prompt) minutes Pat!

Thanks for an incredible day, and thanks Irma for the write-up and for taking photos (though I didn’t see them through the link). I have a few too.

Thirteen people attended and built eight 2m/70cm antennas that all checked out really well! Casey and Henry were busy building stuff all morning too. Everyone had a chance to learn about antenna…[Read more]

Thanks for the RSVPs. We’ll have at least nine people. It’s not too late to join in, just let us know you’re coming. The temperature is going to be cool, and since we’d like to be outside, please bring layers. Eva, sorry you won’t be here, but I have a feeling we’ll do this again. There are some cool designs folks would like to try! See you soon! – Neil

Thanks Casey. Yes, let’s follow up with Puente. I have a lot of practical info already prepared, but would like to do a faceplate diagram for their radios. These will be materials that can go along with all our 8900s and FT-60s. If we set a date to go back, it will help make sure the materials get done! Two or three weeks from now?

Apologies. Second try at the links:

I’d be happy to help with the Puente radios. I have cables, manuals, etc for both 8900 and FT-60s and a lot of experience using them. I also have one-pagers for basic programming. We could also make up “faceplate” diagrams like we use for Field Day HF radios.

Mike posted in December that the club meeting moved to the 25th due to a conflict with Red Cross training at the Fire House.

Darn – WFD was fun last year! I held the weekend open for a long time, but it recently filled with my annual piano technicians banquet and a gig Sunday at San Gregorio Store. Let’s try for it again next year.

I won’t be able to do WFD this year. Busy weekend, starting with our first club meeting that Saturday morning. I can help with some planning and contact camp if you get a quorum.

I was planning to be there Saturday, and would be happy to help.

Thanks Peter, the schedule looks great. I don’t have the new Technician Class book (mine was effective to 2018). Do you have a book I can borrow or slides available?

Saturday afternoon is best for me. First choices would be “Your First Radio” and “Repeaters”. I’m happy to do two sections.

I’m available to teach the 14th or 15th. Let me know which unit(s) you could use me for. I usually like doing my own prep if time permits, so any advance notice would be appreciated. I can help with setup or teardown as needed…
