Things this week:  

 

1.        Ron Decker,  KC8DSC  Update

Many of you will remember Ron as the fellow that brought the Yellow Call
Boxes from Wright State.  He was also the one with the camera taking many
photos of TNG and our projects.  Ron has been fighting Prostate Cancer for
some time and unfortunately it has taken a turn for the worst.  As Ron just
told me 'he is on the downhill journey.'  Please keep him and his family in
your hearts and prays.

2.        Santa Wish List 

What's on your list?

3.        DARA Christmas Party

to the always amazing dessert buffet.   Go to www.w8bi.org for more details

4.        HF - UHF Antenna Analyzer UPDATE  

Phil, and maybe Rubin, will give an update on this project.

5.        ** License Exam Questions of the week

One question is drawn from each of the three question pools. Steve, AE8AT,
is providing these questions.  Thanks Steve

 

Answers are at the end of this email.

 

We received a question regarding the strange mix of letters and numbers that
begin each question.  Every exam question has a unique combination of
letter-number-letter-number.  The first letter is a T, G, or E to identify
the question pool: Technician, General, or Extra.  Next is a single number
representing the category, for example, category zero is safety in all three
exam pools.  The first letter-number pair is called the "sub-element".   The
second letter is a "group" containing related questions.  Example,
sub-element G8 is Signals and Emissions, with group C of that sub-element
being Digital Emission Modes.  The questions are numbered sequentially:
G8C01, G8C02, and so forth always with a 2-digit number at the end.  The
question identity is included in case of a typo or some "help" from
autocorrect obscures either the question or the answer.
