Meetings

  • March 10 2015, 7:00pm - 8:00pm: HAM Interest Meetup in AV Area

Hardware Resources

  • Gigantic Radio Tower, currently resides in the bike shed
  • 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
