PLEASE if you are having any COVID, RSV or FLU symptoms DO NOT come to the clubhouse.

TNG – Thursday, March 13, 2025

DARA Clubhouse, 6619 Bellefontaine Rd. Dayton, OH 45424. The meeting begins around 7pm. The presentation begins at 7:30pm.

Jeremy Hong's presentation goes into the surprisingly complex history of the breadboard from its namesake and origin within amateur radio to some of the interesting intellectual property (IP) history. Of particular note and focus are the powered breadboards and all in one trainers that are used in electronics engineering and technician labs/training.

If anyone wants to or knows someone who might want to give a presentation at a future TNG or if you have a topic that you would like to see, please let me know.

Everyone is invited!!!
