Dear Fellow Hams:

A quick reminder to please join us on Wednesday, November 5th at 7:30 pm at
the Fairfield Fire Training Center as we explore topics relating
to microprocessors and their application within amateur radio.

Inexpensive (almost free) and readily available microprocessors are being
used by many hams for amateur radio projects.

Jeff KB1MZL, Vice President of GFARA, has prepared an interesting program
for us.  He will briefly cover microprocessor history and theory before
demonstrating their use in the construction of a frequency counter project.

This program is an excellent opportunity to bring kids (both young and old)
interested in computer programming as microprocessors represent the link
between software and ham radio.

CERT members will enjoy this opportunity to see how to expand amateur radio
applications using a little imagination, microprocessors and software.


73,
