There is a very interesting movie documentary that you can download ($12.99 on iTunes) that has received very positive reviews. In it, the conspiracy of a relationship between the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the Duga array is researched. Lots of closeups of the antenna are filmed - the guy actually went and climbed on the thing just metres from the still-hot reactor site! This movie would make a great "Movie Night" as the main topic for a future meeting for any amateur radio club. Watch Watch The Russian Woodpecker is a production of GraciaFilms, Roast Beef Productions, and Rattapallax. Worldwide distribution by FilmBuff. View on www.russianwoodpecker.com Preview by Yahoo 73!

On 9 March 2016 we will do a few things differently; First you will notice the 'Classroom Layout' of tables and chairs. We are rolling out a new Projection screen for the meeting. We will start the meeting with a Technical Presentation, to be given by Paul Danzer. Coffee and donuts will be available on the buffet, immediately after the Presentation. The Business portion of the meeting will follow. *Presentation:* We all have Personal Computers (PCs). A good part of our personal lives revolve around these machines, as well as our ham activities. But do you know why they are so popular? Where did they come from so quickly? What is going on inside? Paul Danzer, N1ii, will present a program that gives you insight into these devices, how they process data and what happens when you press a key. Paul will also bring to the meeting a miniature audio oscilloscope that you can put together from a kit for $34 and a new, high-capability digital scope ($500) that is scheduled to be reviewed in /QST /in the near future. Paul has been a member of GNARC since approximately 1968 and has spent the last 18 years teaching, among other things, PC hardware at Housatonic Community College. Don?t worry, there won?t be an exam at the end of the program ? just coffee and doughnuts! All are welcome.

We are going to need people - lots of people May 22 (Sunday) - the Bloomin Metric. A 2500 person 65 mile bike ride. The clubs in lower Fairfield County have always turned out big-time to support this ride (for over 20 years). The ride includes the bicycle portion of the Stamford Hospital Hope-In-Motion fund-raiser, so supporting this is directly supporting a Stamford charity. Because of terrain, it's a challenge to get coverage of the entire route. In past years we've used a temporary cross-band repeater and DMR in order to get the coverage we need. June 12 (Sunday) - the MS Ride. A 102 mile ride that goes up above I-84 to Brookfield, Roxbury, and Southbury. It's a real technical challenge to provide comms along the route - coverage last year involved two nets and a temporary repeater. This year we're looking at adding DMR into the mix. Prior experience is NOT necessary. We'll give you whatever training you need and where possible pair you up with a more experienced operator. What is needed is a 25 or 50 watt mobile unit, a mag mount antenna that you can mount on an event vehicle, and a cigarette lighter adapter (or big battery figure 8 or 12 Ah)*. If you don't have those, we usually have spares that we can lend. Both events provide really good food for the volunteers!! Both events will require you for much of the day - the Bloomin is typically from about 7am to about 1pm and the MS Ride is typically from about 7am to about 3pm. If you can't do all day, but can do a 3 or 4 hour block, we can use you!! Please folks - we've always impressed the local charities with our ability to provide fantastic coverage for their events. Our efforts have made it to the local news media and into both Norwalk and Stamford City Halls. Please contact me for the Bloomin (jon.perelstein at gmail.com) and contact Sam NV1P (samd65 at gmail.com) for the MS Ride.

So for those of you who want to boost your Resume, I suggest studying for and taking the FCC GROL & Radar exam. The GROL is the old 2nd Class Radiotelephone license. While it is not required anymore to work on commercial 2-Way radios (except Marine Costal Stations), it is a great way to prove to a potential employer that you have a basic knowledge of electronics. The GROL is the basic FCC commercial test and the Radar is an endorsement which allows you to work on ship and airport radar systems. The GROL is just a little tougher than the Amateur Extra, but is well worth it. Amazon has the book and software on sale. GROL + RADAR, book & software. http://www.amazon.com/GROL-RADAR-book-software-Gordon/dp/0945053614?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&ref_=pe_2239250_187909580_em_1p_0_ti Testing can be done in Trumbull with N1KGM at the testing center. http://www.441700.org/CRTC/crtc.htm So if anyone has any questions about FCC commercial exams, I would be happy to answer any questions.
