[OFARC] OFARC 2m net topics

[KG5IRR]

Our last 2m net was not well attended.  I thought I would share my comments
with a larger audience.

1)      The webpage has been updated: www.ofarc.org.  Our next meeting is
scheduled for March 25th at TranStar.

2)      I've listened to a couple of good podcasts recently:

a.       The Hamradio Workbench, March 7th covers building an 18650 battery
tester: https://www.hamradioworkbench.com/podcast  

If  you enjoyed my battery presentation last November, this will be a good
review and dwells more on the subject of testing and creating your own
packs.

b.      The QSO Today podcast of March 4th talking about Off Center Fed
antennas:

The website Bob (W1IS) mentions, "OCF Masters" is a wealth of information:
https://batteryeliminatorstore.com/collections/ocf-masters and a good white
paper describing his findings can be found here:

to-end-fed-half-wave-antennas-originak 

3)      The QSO Today Expo is coming up March 24th and is well worth your
time and registration fee.  For more info, see:

Enjoy,
