T-Shirts For Field Day

Those that want a field day T-shirt will need to bring a new colored T-shirt (not white) to the May meeting, and deliver it to George Gafford, KI4NBE. Please write your call sign on the neck tag. The LARC Logo will be printed on the front over the pocket, if one exists. The larger artwork will be printed on the back. A mockup of the back follows. (Yes, I know it is the front, but few folks publish pictures of the backs of T-shirts. )

Darker colors are better.

Andrew will have the shirts ready for the June meeting, just in time for field day. Expect the fee to be ~$5 per shirt.

New Repeater In DunDee

Roger K8SWF just informed me that there is a new repeater up and running in DunDee. If you are within range, give them a call. I am sure the DunDee club members would appreciate hearing from you.

The Case For Stealth, And Not So Stealthy Antennas

Witty, entertaining, and helpful describe Tom’s (W9IPR) presentation. Stealth antennas are compromises, but a compromise antenna is better than no antenna at all. That said, some compromisers are better than others. Tom’s presentation, which can be found in total at:

touches on just about every conceivable stealth option, along with some not so stealthy options as well. If Tom piqued your interest, it just might be time to dust off that ARRL antenna book, or better yet, Google the web for more information on the subject.

 

Outstanding Job Andrew!

Typical of Andrew, half measures just don’t cut it. His presentation on QSL cards was no exception. He thoroughly researched his topic, created simple, yet effective graphics to get his message across, then delivered it with poise. First rate!
