Invitation to present to the McKinney Amateur Radio Club


 

Hello Nanovna user group. I have subscribed to this group and have followed many great issues onto resolution.

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Larry Land (Ki5oez), VP of the McKinney, Texas, Amateur Radio club. One of my duties in the club is to find presenters to present in person or virtually via Zoom to our club members.
I thought I would reach out to your group to see if a member would be interested in doing an in person/virtual presentation to our club on using the NanoVna regarding ham radio.
If instead you have a canned presentation that would be welcomed as well.

Our club meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7PM Central time with the presentation to start between 7:15-7:30 and duration should be under 45 minutes, but we are flexible.

We would also be happy to pay for your dinner prior to the meeting if presenting in person.

The following dates are available: September 12, and November 14, 2023. (and possibly May 9, but I am holding out for a ¡°contesting¡± elmer in time for Field day)

Thank you for your time and consideration in this request.

Larry Land, ki5oez
Vice President
McKinney Amateur Radio Club
Cell: (817)-312-4618
10292 Burnt Mill Lane
Frisco, Texas 75035

PS. We wish to challenge our members to learn and grow in our radio hobby. This is my first year as VP, and I feel I have been neglecting the more experienced members and need to challenge the less experienced members to grow. I earned my element 4 in late 2021, and the Smith Chart came as a surprise, but it did help demonstrate and iron out impedance issues. It would be great if we could introduce and challenge the general class members and, at the same time, refresh the extra members knowledge base. I believe the NanoVna is a great tool that can help solve many of the Ham¡¯s problems.
Thanks again for your consideration.
Sincere 73,
Larry
Ki5oez

Thank you for your suggestion.
I ran the Youtube, and I agree he is a great instructor.
I had planned another presentation on the Smith Chart, so this would fit nicely thereafter.
I will contact Barry and ask for a more condensed version for our format.
Thank you for your consideration and help.
A Sincere 73,
Larry
Ki5oez
