E L E C T I O N S for 2 0 1 9

The 2019 Board elections really sneaked up on me. Thanks to Secretary John Malloy, KA8VTV for the reminder. If you have a desire to participate in the progress and direction of our great club, by all means throw your hat in the ring for one of the board positions: President, Vice President, Secretary or Treasurer. Be sure to review the responsibilities of the position you’re interested in, detailed in the Parma Radio Club Bylaws, Article 4, posted on this site. Or use this direct link. Parma Radio Club Bylaws. Board Officer terms run from January 1st to December 31st.

Let your intentions to run for an office known by informing Nominations Chairman Rich Nagel, W8KU at richw8ku@gmail.com.

The slate of 2019 candidates will be announced at the November 5th meeting.

The recent program by Tom Bedocs, K8DMM was really well received as evidenced by comments on the two nets. This program gave Tom the opportunity to share specific instruction on how to use the oscilloscope for things such as monitoring transmitter modulation or tracking down issues like amplifier or power supply problems.

Thanks to Ken Osicki, K8OAE for photographs.

19th, 20th and 21st October 2018

This week end you’ll hear a lot of young people on the air and you’re encouraged to QSO with them and share their excitement. These youth will be along side experienced ham radio operators who are introducing them to our hobby. Called the Jamboree of the Air, the event gives Scouts worldwide an opportunity to learn and experience amateur radio. While many scouts will participate at outdoor events, there’s also an indoor opportunity for them and you. The following information is from their web site, www.jota-joti.org. Hal Rogers, K8CMD

JOTA-JOTI is the largest Scouting event in the world with over 1.8 million Scouts participating across 150+ countries. Scouts and Guides across the world connect with each other during JOTA-JOTI using the airwaves and the internet.

The event has been held the third weekend of October since 1957. The next JOTA-JOTI is 19th, 20th and 21st October 2018.

Why is there a JOTA-JOTI ?

What a fun program we had last meeting when 7 or 8 members presented items for our always popular “Home Brew Show and Tell”. So many interesting devices and circuits.

Back to the basics

At our October 15th meeting Tom Bedocs, K8DMM will get back to the oscilloscope, one of the most helpful tools available to amateurs. Tom’s initial program on the topic was very enlightening and well-received. In program —-two Tom will demo various test measurements in tuning receiver stages, transmitter modulation level / distortions, filter graphing and audio / trouble shooting a power supply. Truly, a loaded program you won’t want to miss.

Do you have an idea for an article? Let us know.

We have a “new” NCO for the VHF/ UHF net. Tom Southam, W8WLI has agreed to take the 4th Tuesday net. However, with an unpredictable work schedule he sometimes gets a late notice that he’s needed on the job. So he is looking for a backup to make this work. If you can help, let us know. Tom has been doing a great job as a volunteer and we look forward to hearing him more often as a PRC NCO.
