Things this week:  

TNG – getting young people into ham radio

Tom, N8Zm, will talk about Ideas for getting more young people into ham radio? Like 8 - 14-year-olds, before they get distracted by high school social life.

 

<note> this was a topic at the recent DARA board meeting.  

This might be a great time for TNG to help solve this problem.  George WD8NHI

 

TNG-Fest – We are thinking about October 13th.  Will you bring stuff to sell?

 

As always you can work on your projects, radios or just chat with friends.  There are a lot of different groups all doing their thing with different radios.  Come see what’s happening.  Just good talk amongst friends.

 

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.

 

PLEASE if you are having any of the COVID symptoms DO NOT come to the clubhouse.

** License Exam Questions – 206

To many, the hobby appears to be focused on electronics.  And while that is core to the equipment, many other knowledge domains must be incorporated to their design. Heat dissipation, structural considerations, and loads on tower are a few examples of mechanical engineering considerations.  The physical layout and size of buttons and knobs, or the structure of a device’s menu are examples of human factors engineering.  However, for this quiz, the topic will be the materials used in our hobby.
