A technical program is presented by one of our members or a guest presenter at our monthly meeting (except in January, when we hold elections, and June, when we discuss our club's upcoming Field Day activities). The topics range from ham radio to personal computing to anything that would be of interest to our members. The presentations may be formal or informal and always generate lively discussions.
Here are the programs scheduled for upcoming meetings :
May: Paul Martis, W9PEM - Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries
June: Gary Sutcliffe, W9XT and Pat Volkmann, W9JI – Contesting
July: Gregg Lengling, W9DHI – Repeater Receiver Voting Process/Operation
August: Bill Shadid, W9MXQ – The End of the Line – the Drake TR5 Transceiver
September: tbd
October: Project Night **
November: Stan Kaplan, WB9RQR – Building a Crystal Radio
December: Gary Sutcliffe, W9XT – Digital Modes
** Sign up for Project Night! This is a round-robin of 5 minute “Show and Tells” of some of our members’ latest amateur radio-related projects! This is a way to showcase your antenna work, home brews, problem solving and even kit-building or modifications. It can be a work in progress or complete. The real trick is to summarize your project in a 5-minute (or so) presentation with a few photographs. This is open to all members regardless of how you attend meetings (in person or via Zoom). If this generates only a handful of responses, the time allotted for each project will, of course, be a bit longer. Contact Jeananne, N9VSV This email address is being protected from spambots.

We really do need some programs for the coming year. Please consider sharing some of your experiences with the rest of us. If you have an idea and would like some help putting a program together let us know.
