March / April – Technician Class and testing

Wow! What an honor to have the privilege of teaching and testing such a group. We had a great turnout on the class, testing, and upgrades for this March/April. 7 students, 5 new Technicians, 1 upgrade to General. It is really great to get this kind of activity in the Ham Radio Community. Be expecting to hear some new call signs in the near future. Please reach out to me if you are the first to contact one of these new Technicians, I would like to see about doing something special for them on that contact. I know a lot of hours of studying went into this and it showed.

Update: Technician class Ham 101

Wow the turnout and enthusiasm was great.  9 student’s total, of which we have two young lady’s attending the class (10&12).  There were several guest to stop by, Don (KF0ARQ), Richard (KE0QYA), Dewayn (KB9TQJ), & Bret (W0VK).  We had some good discussions and great comradery in the class.  Next class will be held on the 25th 8-4.  I would encourage you to come by say hello to the new potential Hams.   There is already discussion of wanting a General class so spread the word.   Well that’s all I have for now.  Really looking forward to getting this group tested and hearing them on the air.

2023 – February – Antenna Build Project – Dewayne Lucas KB9TQJ

We had a GREAT antenna building class after the Feb 4th meeting.  Dewayne KB9TQJ provided materials (and (Knowledge!) to build a 2 meter yagi(s)which was tuned to the repeater freq. with a SWR of 1.2 to 1.7 average.  It was a great way to spend time with some GREAT people and friends.   Now we need to put together a FOX hunt, Now that we have some directional yagi(s).  It was a really great time and good club comradery.  Thanks again to Dewayne for making this possible.
