[Bill Fuqua]

I did not change date on the announcement. This workshop will be on June 
7,2003

>Special Class Notice
>
>Next Saturday we will spend some time preparing students for the up coming 
>June 14th license exam session. This session will be in the form of 
>question and answer sessions. The Technician Class question pool will 
>change July 1, 2003 and some of the workshop participants will be 
>preparing for it. I don't intend to spend all 2 hours on this preparation. 
>About half of the time will be normal workshop material. We will spend the 
>first hour (1:00 to 2:00 PM) on license preparation. We will be using the 
>Now Your Talking text as a reference.
>
>Everyone interested in preparing for this exam is invited. You don't need 
>to be a member of the workshop or club.
>
>Now for the usual announcement:
>
>The Radio Theory and Construction workshop will meet this Saturday, June 
>7, 2003 in the basement of the Red Cross Building at 1450 Newtown Pike, 
>Lexington, KY. The Workshop will begin at 1:00PM and continue until 
>3:00PM. Sometimes we stay longer.
>
>This workshop is for anyone interested in the subject of radio theory or 
>construction. Anyone may join in the workshop at any time. This workshop 
>does not really have a beginning or an end. It is a continuing effort to 
>help those that are interested in knowing more about the internal workings 
>of radios (receivers, transmitters and antennas) and/or building them. A 
>ham license is not required and there are no age restrictions. I encourage 
>young students to participate.
>Participants will have to obtain their own tools and they will need to 
>purchase a beginner's radio kit (AM-550K).
>
>I have some kits in stock just now so you will not have to wait. Just pay 
>me for the kit and I'll order another to replace it in stock. That way we 
>will have some always available for new participants.
>
>This kit cost about $20 and it is perfect for learning soldering, 
>component identification and basic radio theory. Sources for these kits are:
>Edlie Electronics http://www.edlieelectronics.com/
>Electronics express http://www.elexp.com/.
>There are two styles of kits. One has an integrated circuit audio 
>amplifier (AM-550K) and the other has a transistor audio amplifier 
>(AM-550KT). We prefer the one with the integrated circuit Amplifier but 
>you can use the other if you like or if the preferred one is not 
>available. Also, a very basic portable cassette tape player will be 
>needed. These are less than $10 at many department stores or can be found 
>in garage sales for a $1 or so. It has been reported that WalMart has them 
>for about $5. The cassette player will be modified to become a sensitive 
>audio amplifier for future experiments and trouble shooting. I try to 
>encourage participants to be resourceful and use common items found around 
>the home. The tape player is a good example.
>If you wish to join our workshop please e-mail me so that I can add you to 
>our list. I have a short questionnaire to get some information about your 
>interest, experience and knowledge level. If you cannot be contacted by 
>e-mail call me in the evening at (859) 272-9523 and I will add you to a 
>phone list. This is necessary because we do not hold the workshop every 
>weekend due to other obligations, vacation, hamfest and license exam sessions.
>Please let me know if you are coming and what you have to bring or would 
>like to discuss at the workshop so I can have some time to prepare and 
>gather any materials that will be helpful. Even if you are not coming to 
>the workshop I would appreciate an email. I like to stay informed of your 
>project's progress and I am always happy to answer any questions you may 
>have. If anyone is interested in starting the beginning basic workshop or 
>if you know of someone please contact me.
>
>The Bluegrass Amateur Radio Society's Youth Education Program (Y.E.P.) can 
>provide kits, tools and parts students up thru the 12th grade.
