Meeting Notes
Hardware Resources
- Fiberglass ham mast mounted to side of makeshop, permaloaned from Jeff.
- BroadBand Ham Node (BBHN) KM4KER-1 is currently residing on top of the Ham Shack.
- Currently running the OLSRd based bbhn firmware
- Also running the HamChat.pl package.
- Donated (StarMaster) newinbox classic SWR meter
- Kenwood Radio (is this the radio in the Champaigne room)
- HF Rig
- Status: [Bruce] took [his] dummy load and used the shop power meter to look at that HF rig. It has a tube final and [he] didn't want to drive it too hard without knowing the radios history but [he] got 50 W out out of it. [He doesn't] know how clean the signal was but it was drifting on the readout quite a bit. Receive seems to have a problem. Also, being an old radio, it may not be a good option for new hams first experiences even if we can fix it. ~From Bruce's Email 2/9/15
