[OFARC] March Club Meeting

[ralph phillips]

Our meeting this month is on March 26
We have been given access to the TRANSTAR Building!!

We intend to meet at TRANSTAR in the front conference room as normal and on ZOOM also.
BE AWARE …. They WILL check your temperature as you enter the building.

As for the program:


1. Field Day is June 25 & 26.  We need to decide if we will do something as a club, how big, and where.

2. I will have a sample of the band pass filters I built a few years ago.  It will be open so you can see what is involved in building one.  We had a presentation on these filters a few months back and Barry explained the math behind them.

3. I have a short slide show about the HamSci group that uses amateur radio for advanced studies of the atmosphere and radio propagation.

4. Does anyone have a presentation, video, or report (field trip or contest or project) they would like to share with the club?  If so, let me know and we will put you on the agenda.

5. I have a list of activity ideas I have collected from various club members.  The list is below, please think about the ideas and we can discuss briefly during the meeting.  Some ideas may not be realistic, but I did not want to throw any away without letting all of you see it first.  WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM YOUR CLUB??
