[HCARC] HCARC 2018 Programs - ALWAYS NEED MORE IDEAS

[Gary Johnson]

Speak up about what interests you or live with what interests me.


January – Gerald Youngblood K5SDR on SDR (of course).

February – Hopefully Greg Lewis N5XO on 2m Simplex

March – Possible AC4CA on Receiving Antennas

April – Possible SKYWARN Advanced trng including how to read radar.  Larry N5QGD has lead.

May –  Possible DX Basic – Lew McCoy W5LEW

June – Field Day

July – Field Day wrap up.

Aug – Possible EME Basics.  Suggested by Warren KG4NPV

Sept – Possible FT8 – Dale Gaudier K4DG

October --

November – Possible Radio – 80 years Ago Bill Tynan  W3XO

December – Christmas Party.

Suggestions to date:

Receiving Antennas – John H. AC4CA volunteered to do this presentation

Radio 80 Years Ago – Bill T.  W3XO volunteered to do the presentation

SKYWARN/Floods – Larry A.  N5QGD volunteered to contact NWS to schedule

EME Basics – suggested by Warren S.  KG5NPV

UHF/VHF Weak Signal – suggested by Warren S.  KG5NPV  (this may get covered by Greg Lewis in the February Hamsters Presentation)

DX Basics (especially for new hams) – Lew K.  W5LEW volunteered to do presentation

FT8 etc – Dale G.  K4DG volunteered to do presentation.

Those 7 added to the Field Day presentations (June and July) and the January Presentation by Gerald Youngblood of Flex Radio and Greg Lewis from Hamsters on 2m Simplex/DX just about fills out the year.  HOWEVER, if you have any other ideas please send them to me at N5BAA at HCTC.net.
