[HBQRP] HBQRP meeting ideas and group project ideas for 2014

[Ray McNally]

Here is a thought...

  There was discussion about using Arduinos and DDS signal sources during
the meeting and should be LOTS of fun.

  George N2APB runs a "Chat with the Designers" on Tuesday evenings.  Last
Tuesdays discussion happened to have another application for the Arduino
and DDS boards.  Just another suggestion for a potential project.  This is
refered to the

       "Poor Ham's Scalar Network Analyzer"

   Here is the link to the Whiteboard discussion
      http://www.cwtd.org/Dec10-2013.html

  There is a link to a downloadable mp3 audio towards the top.

  The Yahoo group for this is PHSNA and it sounds like there may be another
run on the other boards that would be needed.  Looking at the history in
the group, looks like the first round price on the boards was less than
$10.00.  No guarantee on what the next round price may be, but I think I
will be getting some to work with.

  OK, enough with my ramblings, just trying to plant some seeds and see
what happens this next kit-building season...

Happy Holidays,
