[FARC] Speakers wanted

[david at retroscape.com]

Great topic ideas, Jeff! 

Some additional topic ideas: 

-
Operating QRP both at home and in the field
- Basic soldering skills
workshop. How about a kit-building session where we all make something
like a Tuna Tin transmitter
(http://www.amqrp.org/kits/tt2/index.html)?
- Theory and operation of
simple tube radios (let us understand our roots)
- Ham uses for the
Raspberry Pi (www.raspberrypi.org), a $40 credit-card sized computer
than runs Linux
 - Amateur Television
 - Presentations about what ham
radio was like in the 30s - 50s, from some of our more experienced ham
family members
 - Antenna modeling tools for Dummies 

If anyone needs
help presenting a topic, let me know. I have little knowledge, but can
learn from you and then help with the presentation.

our monthly meetings more informative and enjoyable, the Frederick
Amateur Radio Club is looking for individuals who would be willing to
speak on a ham related topic at one of our monthly meetings. We meet on
the third Monday of each month at 7 PM at the Independent Hose Company
on Baughmans Ln. You don't have to be a Ph.D. in electronic engineering
or even hold an amateur license, just have something of interest to
present to our membership.
