[HBQRP] HBQRP meeting summary

[Ray McNally]

OK, here is a quick summary from the July HBQRP meeting, other folks can
add their comments if they so choose. By my count (ran out of fingers), we
had 10 people show and all had a great time.

There was some discussion about the soon to be released 1watter 20-Meter
transceiver by Diz “Toroid King” at Kitsandparts.com. Right now, looks like
shipping is scheduled for late August.

We also discussed building some “blocks” with the end goal of building a
working transceiver. For starters, we are looking at a NE602/612 based
receiver with an audio filter/amp. I will work on building a working
example to demonstrate at the September or October meeting. A currently
available filter/amp is the 4SQRP Hi-Per-Mite CW Filter.

Also, the September meeting is the same day as the Aksarben Ham Fest in
Springfield. A suggestion was tossed out to meet a little later so everyone
has the opportunity to find some treasures then show them off at our
meeting... Just a thought...
