We have 19 people signed up for the Share the Knowledge Fox Hunt session.
All the parts have been ordered and will be ready for the session on the
27th.

IF you're one of the sign ups, you will need to bring your radio (2m
battery operated) and a antenna adapter that gets you to a BNC.

My Kenwood HT uses a SMA to BNC. Baofeng uses REVERSE SMA to BNC.

Make sure YOU have what you will need for the 27th.

If you're unsure, contact me with the make and model of your radio.

The May HCRA meeting is barely a week away. Who is our guest speaker and
what is going on in the club you ask?

Read all about it in the latest issue of ZeroBeat, the HCRA newsletter.
There is a lot going on and a lot of possible ways you can participate.

http://www.hcra.org/zb/download.php?file=May2019.pdf

Come and support your club at the meeting. Visit with friends, make new
ones and have a good evening out while learning about a new way to
communicate with your radios.

I hope to see you at the meeting.

Subject: [HCRA] Fox Hunt Share the Knowledge session follow up notes
Message-ID: <CAEykQHF_wcNcfQxuQ-QU6EBnQ4BTyo-hpPj9sKh1o7LRFfKzeg@mail.gmail.com>

 The HCRA Fox Hunt share the Knowledge session was a success. Yesterday 16
people assembled antennas and attenuators. Some learned about electronic
parts, assembly, soldering and more and had an enjoyable time doing so. A
few couldn?t make it, but will be assembling their kits another day.

The session would not have been a success without the assistance of the
following people. I can?t thank you enough for your help in making the day
a success:

   -

   Bob; K1YO ? a huge help in making the attenuator kit project a reality
   and his patience in helping everyone assemble and test their completed
   projects was invaluable

   -

   Rich; KC1AEO ? who used Bobs plans and drilled the holes in the metal
   attenuator cases

   -

   Jeff; NT1K ? the antenna project was a success with his custom design
   improvements to make a much better tape measure antenna & also helping
   people with assembly and testing of the attenuators. Jeff stayed much later
   than planned and his assistance was valued by all he helped.

   -

   Frandy; N1FJ ? came in at my personal invite to help those that needed
   it to assemble the attenuators. His help was invaluable.

   -

   Bob; WA1OJN ? helping others to learn about soldering and electronic
   assembly and testing their attenuator while building his own attenuator.

And to all those that building and assembling, your participation made it
all worthwhile!

Soon we will be doing a few practice hunts to get everyone familiar with
their new gear. Then we?ll start a full fledged fox hunt and the real fun
begins!

Thank you all for your help and participation!

Larry; W1AST
