I failed to mention at the meeting last night that we'd be set up at the Farmers Market this Saturday from 9am - 1pm. Located at the Endurance Church parking lot in West Plains. I hope everyone can come out and enjoy the day putting amateur radio on display and inviting others to join us. Eric, KD0CEN

Our Kit Build get together is coming up in just over a week. If you are planning on joining in on the fun, you need to get your kit ordered ASAP if you haven't done so already! Several websites were suggested during last night's club meeting. Below I am listing a few ideas for kits based on low-cost and ease of assembly. You are welcome to pick one of these or explore the sites and pick something else. http://www.qrpkits.com/dummyloadv2.html - Small Dummy Load http://www.qrpkits.com/cpo.html - Code Practice Oscillator http://www.qrpkits.com/attenuator_11db.html - 11db Step Attenuator http://www.qrpkits.com/attenuator.html - 41db Step Attenuator http://www.qrpkits.com/dualbanddipole.html - Dual Band Trap Dipole Antenna https://www.amazon.com/Zerone-Manual-Antenna-Tuner-RADIO/dp/B07DMWL5L3 - Manual HF Antenna Tuner And a couple more ambitious kit if you need a challenge: https://www.qrpme.com/?p=product&id=DLC - A unique Dummy Load for hotel "DX" contests. http://www.qrpkits.com/ezreceiver.html - 40m Receiver https://www.amazon.com/Malahit-1-8-50MHz-Automatic-Programmed-Unassembled/dp/B099WR89P2 - ATU-100 Automatic Antenna Tuner If you are new to electronics and soldering, I suggest sticking with the first two or three ideas. Also, I highly recommend watching a YouTube video or two on proper soldering techniques. Soldering is a skill that anyone can learn with a little practice. Here's a short video to get you started: https://youtu.be/Qps9woUGkvI?si=NfifLNPhbicOOKKx I'll see you on the 25th @ 1pm at The Battery Station! 73, Jeremiah - KB?PHX

Have you ever wondered if your radio is transmitting a clean signal? Join us at the club meeting tonight and bring a radio with you. We’ll hook it up to a spectrum analyzer and see how clean the signal is! 6pm at the Howell Count Emergency Operations Center (Basement of the Howell County Health Department). See you tonight!

I know it’s been a busy weekend for everyone, but there will be a club meeting tonight at 6pm. I’ll try to keep it brief. Also, Tech Classes start this Saturday. No rest for the weary! Hope to see everyone tonight!

Eclipse weekend has arrived, and the Howell County ARES group is working in conjunction with the Howell County Emergency Operations center for the duration of the weekend!
