We had six folks join the MI QRP Zoom Chat on 10 April. Please join us Thursday April 17 (and every Thursday) at 4PM Eastern for the Michigan QRP Club weekly QRP Chat where the main topics will be QRP and other ham interests. New hams are encouraged to participate and ask questions. It's fun, it's easy, and it's free. You only need a computer, a smart phone, or a tablet that can connect to the Internet. OR if you can't be close to any of those you can join by audio with any standard phone. Just follow the directions below. No software needs be loaded or installed. Anyone can join and non members are welcome. Details are here:

The topic for Thursday, 17 April will be TBD.

Ernie NE3TE

Tony W8CDC

Stan WB8QJZ

Casey KC9IH

Stuart M0SGV

Started out talking about cars. Ernie just got a new one.

Ed showed this new paddles.

Northern Michigan ice storm caused major damage. It has been over a week and there are still major power outages.

Stan played with satellites during the week but did not have any luck with the ISS and slow scan. Tony used to work the OSCAR 7 and 10 back in the day. Stan has a handheld that automatically tracks birds and the upcoming passes. DM1701 with open GD77 firmware is the way to go

Stuart is still working on his Michigan Mighty Mite and wants to see how it looks with his new Tiny SA.

Casey is playing with antennas and some hamsticks. Spending a lot of time on FM nets. We talked about the 80 meter nets and swap meets.

The agenda for the 10 April QRP Chat:

During the open forum anyone can take the floor. We will go one by one until all have had a chance to have the floor. Files, pictures and presentations can be shared if you have any. Please try to stay muted when someone has the floor.

Thanks
