[NLRS] Aurora'22 (Note new location!): June 4th

[Jon Platt]

Hello NLRS land
Here is a resend of my April 7th email with an updated agenda.  We have room for one more 15 to 20" presentation so let me know if you have something that you would like to share with the group.  
73, JonW0ZQ

Aurora, the largest annual gathering of weak-signal VHFers in the Upper Midwest, is the annual meeting of the Northern Lights Radio Society.  The conference was first hosted by Jon Lieberg, KØFQA (SK), in 1984.   In the morning hours, and weather permitting, the club runs an outdoor antenna range from 0900 to 1130. The morning hours also allows for socializing, show & tell, car trunk to car trunk swapping, and casual demonstrations.  Members are then on their own for lunch. The technical programs start at 1300 and typically run until 1700 or 1730. 

The tentative schedule for the afternoon technical program includes:  
  - Impact of FT8 on VHF contesting (tentative) - W0ZQ
  - Review of the Mini Nano VNA - K0XL
  - Putting Your 10m HTX-100 On 50, 70, 144, 222 or 432 MHz (And You Can Keep The Speaker!) - W0ZQ
  - 222 WAS via the Moon - N0AKC  - Recent Experiences with WA5VJB Cheap Yagis - KC0P  - NLRS annual business meeting including elections

We have a new date and a new conference location:   When: Saturday June 4, 2022   9:00 am - 5 pm (CDT)   Where: West Medicine Lake Community Club, 1705 Forestview Lane North, Plymouth, MN 55441

Watch for registration information in May, but for now mark the date on your calendar.
