Things this week:
TNG with ZOOM – So you bought a nanoVNA, or are thinking about it, or have no idea what it is.
This week there will be a ZOOM meeting. Details later in this email
Tom, N8ZM, Now that most of you own nanoVNA's, it might be a good time to talk about how they work, what they can do, and what they can tell you.
This a repeat with updates from a 2020 TNG. Still a good refresher.
Even though mask are not required feel free to wear a mask if you feel more comfortable. There will be some wearing mask so you will not be the only one.
The pop cooler has some pop and water.
PLEASE if you are having any of the COVID symptoms DO NOT come to the clubhouse.
