Things this week:  

1.   New Ham Radio Study website

 

Logan, KE8NTI, one of our younger hams, DARA member and TNG participant has
been working on a website to promote learning when it comes to studying for
the ham licenses. He has finished the programming side of things.  He has
added all of the questions from all 3 exams but he needs help from the group
to help write information for each question and each topic!

 

2.  HamCation 2020 report

 

We are hoping to have a report on one of the largest hamfest.

 

3.  February 27 - 3D printing 

We will start our discussion and training on how to use the 3D printer.
This will include talk about what software to use, what you can make, how
long a project might take, among other things.
