[AReU]                                          April 5, 2016 meeting

	It's time for another fine AReU meeting, April 5, 2016 we will
   meet at our usual place es at our usual time.
          Be a part of the best technical HAM club hereabouts, a place
   to meet with fellow HAMs to share experiences, get help from more
   seasoned HAMs about everything from operating, equipment es to get
   help with your repair problems.
    (with no demands upon you es no pressure or red tape of any color)

          So remember:
              04-05-16 NEXT Tuesday is our next monthly AReU meeting day.

              REGULAR PLACE      Bell Shoals Baptist, Church building "C"

              REGULAR TIME        7 pm RC, 7:30 meeting begins, if any


   BTW: Everyone is encouraged to post any HAM related questions that
   you or your friends have right here any time in the month.  You can
   ask for any help that you might need. That is what this reflector is
   here for, that es these meeting notices.

   It has come to my attention that the North door is no longer a path
   to our meeting room, please walk around the corner to the right, to
   the West side of this building es enter through the kitchen door.
    (closest to the sports complex next door es it's parking lot)

          So join us at the Bell Shoals Baptist church building "C" in
   South Brandon at 7 for RC or 7:30 for the program, when we have one.
   If you are bringing a program, please let me know so I can advertize
   it.

          ARe U going?        Talk in is on 147.165 MHz + offset

I have completed two transverters for the 3 cm band (10368 MHz). 
I will bring them to the meeting for show and tell. I also have two 
tripods but I don't know if I will have the mounting hardware on one 
of them. 
I also have two high gain antennas but will not bring then as they are 
not mounted on the tripods and are not aligned. 
I would like to get a group together in the near future to set up these 
stations on high spots in the area (preferably 5 or 10 miles apart) and 
try for a QSO. 
The transverters and the antennas are probably good for 200 or so 
miles on a line of sight path. 
The Brandon Hospital parking garage top level would be fairly good 
in Brandon. 
I think that MOSI or St-Joseph Hospital would be the other high 
spot. 


Has anybody else got some ideas? 


There are some good videos on U Tube about this type of operation.
