Things this week:  

 

1.        Nancy's mobile check-out

Nancy, KC8RMT, is having problems with her mobile radio and the antenna
mounted on her car.  Let's check it out for her and maybe learn a little bit
doing it.

2.        Continue Clean-up & ?

We started cleaning up and deciding what to get rid of at the DARA Auction.
The Auction is over and time ran out before they got to our stuff.  There
are plans being made to have our own Auction or Table Sale at an upcoming
TNG 

3.        Home Brew Projects

Work on your project for the next DARA meeting

DARA Home Brew night May 3rd. so get busy!!

4.        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.  

 

Weather is turning toward Spring, maybe.wish it would hurry up already.
Before everyone goes out climbing things to install antennas, a quiz focused
on safety might be help bring in warmer weather.  Be safe!
