Our guest speaker will be Dick Frey (WA2AAU). He will be speaking about VHF/UHF long distance communications. With the solar cycle heading into a null, this would be a perfect meeting to see what else amateur radio has to offer. This will be the last HCRA meeting where you can purchase KX2 raffle tickets. We will be selling more tickets at the hamfest and we will be pulling the winning ticket at the hamfest on March 11th. We are looking for a volunteer to help with our Swap and Sale tables. It will involve keeping track of sellers and collecting money. HCRA Field Day webpage is now live. We are looking for volunteers. Please visit the website and fill out the form towards the bottom. We would like to fill all the spots well before field day. http://www.hcra.org/field-day-2017/ See you tonight! - Jeffrey Bail (NT1K) President, Hampden County Radio Association From wm1b at arrl.net Tue Mar 7 09:04:58 2017 From: wm1b at arrl.net (Chase AcctSec.

Message-ID: As of this writing (March 17th) it?s three weeks until HCRA?s Annual Show & Tell on April 7th. That also means it?s only three weeks to finish your project, put together documentation and perhaps win a nice prize for your efforts. No time you say? Well, twenty two days is over three weeks the last time I checked. I?m sure you can rustle up something to show off to the crowd, get their creative juices flowing for 2017 and maybe win a nice prize! But? you really need to get started pretty soon! *BONUS SNOW STORM!* I don?t know if you noticed but the ?super storm? of March 14th has effectively pushed back any yard work for at least a few weeks. Now you?ve time for a project and a prize! What exactly is Show & Tell you ask? Well, it?s a chance to show the members something cool you?ve done in your shack, antenna farm, secret laboratory, etc. over the last year. Maybe it?s a new antenna that works like a signal magnet, or a neat way to mount a radio in today?s ?too small? vehicles, or a tesla coil (yes, we?ve had one), or a KW amplifier (had those too), or a trick piece of software, or?. You get the picture. And of course there?s the prizes. This year the three winners get to choose from a hundred dollars worth of prizes that include an ARRL Operating Manual, a Raspberry Pi 3 and a TC-1 Multi-function tester. The audience votes for the best project, the votes are tallied and three winners are picked at the end of the evening. It?s easy to do and it?s fun. Of course everyone is a winner here because we all benefit by seeing what our fellow HCRA members created. Everyone in the audience and the presenters takes home a big dose of enthusiasm for 2017! So there you go. Time to stop surfing, head to the shop and warm up the soldering iron. You too can be a winner at HCRA?s 2017 Show & Tell!
