[NJARC] A few thoughts on the repair clinics and the News letter.

[Scott Roberts]

I kind of like the concept of adding a how-to section
to the meetings: perhaps 15 or 20 minutes at the
beginning or end on things like how to hook up your
oscilloscope, and what to look for, etc. I raised the
subject of a how-to clinic, as opposed to a repair
clinic, at the last meeting, and was directed to the
video series. They are a great idea and resource, but
they have two problems: the ones you need may be
already checked out(as the ones I was looking for
were), and you can't ask them questions directly!
(Such as: What if I hook it up THIS way, and get THAT
indication? or What does THIS maen?)I learn better
when I have someone to ask questions of: and a book or
video only goes so far for me in that respect.

We could one topic a month or something. Maybe even
have it as a subsection in one corner, so members who
already know how to use stuff, and don't wish to join
in may maintain their activities in other parts of the
room. If we plan ahead a month or two, members would
know what kind of topic and piece of test equipment is
being demonstrated, and who will be demonstrating
it...

Just a thought...
Scott
