[K3PZN-List] Now For Something Different

[Peter Dillon]

Hi All,

I was reading the June issue of CQ magazine the other day and an article about Ham Radio University reminded me of a club I belonged to many years ago.  The club would have its business meeting one day of the month, and a "tech" night on a different night.  The tech night was, essentially, a hands on session where we would make something or learn something new about amateur radio.  At one point, members actually built a 1.2 GHZ microwave system, using coffee cans as antennas.  Anyway, what I'm getting around to is this: the tech nights taught us new ways to enjoy Amateur radio.....SSTV, VHF, UHF, QSLing techniques, DXing, contesting, kit building, etc.  These tech nights were kind of a follow on to the licensing classes.  They helped people get on the air, and learn new ways to experience the hobby.  It was sort of like group Elmering.  I'm wondering 1) if this concept would be feasible here, and 2) if there is interest.

Thanks, Pete N3FNE
