ANTENNA GAIN


Dear Fellow Hams,

Please join us on Wednesday, February 4th at 7:30 PM at the Fairfield
Police Station as Joel Hallas explores the topic of antenna gain.

*Antenna Gain – What Does it Mean?*

We all have an idea of what gain means – but what does antenna gain really
mean and how do we measure it? How can we compare different manufacturers'
antenna specifications and how can we make sense of all of their claims?

This presentation, using easy to understand concepts – such as how your
flashlight works – will bring some clarity to the antenna gain question.
Also discussed will be how much gain do we need and under what
circumstances does it matter.

Questions will be addressed during and following the presentation.

As is customary, coffee, soft drinks and light snacks will be provided.

73,

Drum
