That's quite a list, however, the
Board is planning to cover many
of these
this year.
At the March meeting we discussed the cobweb antenna, how to make
it yourself and save $$.. in upcoming months we will attempt to talk
about
other types of antennas & modeling software .
In Feb we discussed, in depth various types of batteries, this
wasn't on the list
but was very informative.
We are planning a hands on Soldering class very soon,
we have ordered
many small electronics kits , all sorts of cheap do dads , to
learn to
solder with. when they get here we will HEAT up the iron
and see
if we
can't burn some fingers.. HI HI
Lots more on the horizon for 2019, we hope to see all
our members
at the
club meetings, especially you newer hams. bring a

PARC ARRL/VE testing results for Mar 9, 2019
We had 11 candidates taking various tests.
Five (5) people earned their Technician class license;
three (3) people earned their General class license;
three (3) people earned their Extra class license.
All candidates earned either a new license or an upgrade.
I want to thank the VE’s that helped administer the tests.
They are: Craig WØWN; Elborn KA7MLM; Dave N7TZK.
All of these guy’s did a great job and we managed to
get everyone out by 3:00 PM. Again I want to thank
all the VE’s that helped. Without them there would
have been no testing.
