[CTSARA] Digital Bootcamp This Sunday Night (9/26)

[Jon Perelstein]

Just a reminder that we will be having our fourth digital bootcamp session this 
Sunday night at 9pm.

Our focus will be transmitting on SSB.  It's actually easier to get the settings 
right on SSB than on FM since most SSB rigs have ALC metering but most FM rigs 
don't have MOD metering).   One thing we did learn from last week's session is 
that we should do SSB transmission before we do FM transmission given that SSB 
is easier to set up.

My recollection is that everyone who has been participating is a General class 
or higher, which means that we'll be able to do our transmissions on 20 meters. 
 If that's not true and you would like to participate, please email me. 

I expect that this will be the last of the sessions for this bootcamp.  I'm glad 
that we limited this "semester" to a few selected participants so that Tony and 
I had only a small class size for our initial foray into teaching over the air. 
 I would like to plan for another digital bootcamp early in the new year and 
expect that we would open it up to the club in general as well as inviting 
people from neighboring clubs.

I would like for us to run an on-air NBEMS class (one or two sessions) for Oct 
or Nov.

I will be sending out class material for the SSB transmissions later today or 
tomorrow morning.
