20161107_214340Many thanks to Tom Bedocs, K8DMM for his interesting presentation at our previous meeting on the origin of  television in L.A. Hard to imagine now that a massive industry can emerge from such humble beginnings — and a lot of determination.

 


Do you have a slot antenna?

Larry’s Stealth 2 meter slot antenna. Look closely and you’ll see the slot.
Chances are you do and don’t know it. At our November 21st meeting you’ll get a good introduction to this unusual antenna. We’ll watch a Bob Heil interview with John Portune, W6NBC author of a QST article in which he described a slot antenna that he built into a discarded satellite dish. The result — a very stealth 2 meter antenna. Then, Larry Shimerka, KC8VCC will show his slot antenna built from the article and he’ll check his work with an antenna analyzer.
 

Pi Anyone?

Be sure to attend our December 5th meeting when Jeff Kopcak, K8JTK  be giving his popular presentation on the history of the amazing little Raspberry Pi computer. Jeff will explain how you can get started with the “Pi” and introduce us to projects that are geared to ham radio.  Jeff says, while a basic understanding of computer and tech terminology is helpful, “There is no programming or code in the presentation.”
