I think the meeting was a big success, we had fun

learned about squelches and a bit about QSL cards.
PARC ARRL VE TESTING - Sept 8 - REcap
Here are the results of today’s testing: We had eight candidates
taking tests.
5 of the candidates were taking the test for Extra class licenses,
1 candidate was taking the General class license exam, and
2 candidates were taking the test for a Technician class license.
4 of the candidates passed their Extra. The 1 candidate taking the
General exam passed and the 2 candidates taking the Technician exam
also passed.
So there was 4 Extra class licenses, 1 General class license and 2
Technician class licenses earned today.
I want to thank the VE’s that helped with the testing:
Don Marler, K7ETE;
Dave Turnmire, N7TZK;
Elborn Hewett, KA7MLM, and
Paul Smith, W7EKG.
Without these people we couldn’t give the exams. To all of the VE’s
a great big THANKS!

blast From The past
database
The HW100 grew out of Heathkit's first SSB transceiver kit the SB100
(dubbed the 'poor mans Collins'!) in 1966. The SB or 'Sugar Baker' line
was quickly added to and updated but Heath decided they needed a low
cost version of the SB100 and came up with the HW 'Hot Water' 100. Both
transceivers use similar PCBs but the HW has a cheaper VFO, VFO drive,
chassis and fewer external connections...but underneath its pretty much
the same radio. As the SB100 was updated to the 101 and 102, the Company
did the same with their low cost line and brought out the HW101 in 1970.
It had some component and valve /tube changes and a better dial drive
and sold 30 - 40,000 units until the early 80s. Many hams across the
world built them, learned about electronics and worked the world.
this radio did not have a built in power supply it was extra,
$240 in 1966 is $1838 in 2018.. Who says Ham Radio is
Expensive in the 2000's , its cheap |
