Membership Meeting Tuesday August 2nd

[Fred Kemmerer]

Did you perhaps do some operating on the 6m Band at Field Day this year? Have you ever wondered what it’s like to operate on the 6m band and how to get a station set up for 6m? Well, we’ve got a great speaker for our meeting this coming Tuesday that will answer these questions and more! Jim Wilson, K5ND, will discuss “How to Capture the MAGIC of Six Meters.”

Don’t miss this one!

Here’s some information from Jim about his presentation and his background:

You, too, can capture the MAGIC of six meters. It takes time and skill, but you’ll achieve incredible results from an average station. The presentation covers propagation modes, equipment, antennas, software, operating awards, and contests. This will be superb preparation for your own efforts on six meters.

Jim Wilson K5ND is an active operator and addicted grid chaser on six meters. From his Grapevine, Texas, home using a hand-turned push-up mast and Yagi, he’s worked 60+ DXCC countries and over 600 grids. His early six meter QSOs included Argentina and Uruguay using a dipole in the attic, Scotland and the Canary Islands using a fence-mounted vertical, and New Zealand and Japan using a Moxon at 20 feet. He’s provided presentations on six meters for the ARRL Learning Network and the QSO Today Ham Expo.
