2018 General Meeting Programs (first half of the year)

Programs

We have a very fine set of General Membership meetings planned for 2018.  Here is the list of the planned programs for these meetings for the first-half of the year.

Date Topic Presenter
January 2 Show and Tell You! Bring your most interesting stuff to amaze your friends.
February 6 Global Ionosphere Radio Observatory Dr. Ivan Galkin of UMass Lowell
March 6 Plane tracking with ADS-B Thomas R Kavanaugh

May 1 MIT Haystack Observatory talk Phil Erickson, W1PJE
June 15 Field Day Planning Meeting  Field Day Planning Team

We have a good start on plans for the second-half of the year as well. If you have not already done so, please complete our survey to tell us what you’d like to see for this year’s Tech Nights. (I’ll publish the plans for Tech Night separately.)

PaddleStick CW Keyer with Base Kit Build

January 9, 2018, Tech Night meeting will feature Steve Elliott, K1EL, the owner of www.hamcrafters.com and the designers of the many amazing kits Hamcrafters offers. Steve will discuss aspects of kit design and building, including the PaddleStick CW Keyer that will be built during our February 13 Tech Night.

You can order your kit online, or buy one directly from Mr. Elliott after his presentation. (Mr. Elliott will bring a limited number of kits for purchase.) The PS2B kit is $59 (cash). We will be looking for a rough count of those interested in purchasing this kit during the regular members meeting on January 2.

Don’t miss out on the fun. This is a great little kit, and you’ll have a great tool to practice CW or to get on the air. Shoo away those wintertime blues by heating up a little solder with friends. See you there!
