Due to the situation with the COVID-19 or Coronavirus, the Nashua Area Radio Society will conduct our regular Meetings and Tech Nights online during the months of April and May. You can read more about our plans on our home page here.
We are inviting all Nashua Area Radio Society Members, Internet Subscribers, and all US-based Hams to join us for online our April Meetings.
We will hold our meeting using the Zoom online service. Zoom is free and all you need to join us is an Internet-connected Windows or Mac PC or a Tablet (ex. an iPad).
Here are the zoom links for our April Meetings:
- April 7th, 7 pm Eastern – Nashua Area Radio Society Regular Meeting. Our speaker will be Jim Idelson K1IR who will talk about Tower Safety. Link to Join Zoom Meeting can be found here
- April 14th, 7 pm Eastern – Nashua Area Radio Society Tech Night. Fred, AB1OC will provide a presentation on How to Get Started in 2m EME (Moon Bounce). Link to Join Zoom Meeting can be found here
We suggest that you join our meetings online at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start times.
When you join a zoom session for the first time by clicking on one of the above links, you will be prompted to download and install a small client application on your device. The Zoom app will enable you to participate in our meetings including asking questions, participating in polls, and generally interacting with us during our meetings. You’ll want to turn on your speakers, microphone, and camera (if you have one, a camera is not required) before joining via the links.
We will also be conducting a new, after-meeting net on 40m after our meetings. We will hold new after meeting on-air nets on or around 7.260 MHz LSB. We will post an update on the final frequency on our home page (and here) just before our nets begin. We hope that these nets will give our members and guests a chance to communicate and socialize with each other. Folks who join us for the preceding online meetings will also be able to monitor our new after meeting nets via the online share.
We will also be live streaming video and audio from our nets to the Nashua Area Radio Society Facebook page.
We will post links for our May meetings here as well as updates on our plans as we go forward. We hope that everyone will join us for some Ham Radio fun in April and May!
I am looking forward to a new experience with Zoom at our upcoming club meetings.
Below are some links to Ham Nation program 446 airing a brief presentation of Zoom by Tom w3EX. Not too technical, but an idea of using Zoom for ham radio.
