We have an upcoming
workshop on VHF/UHF/SHF communications, Sunday August 3rd at
1pm in the club station.
Carlos N4IS will run a
hands-on seminar demonstrating communications in the higher
frequency bands.
He plans to set up antennas
and make contacts assisted by his buddies who will be on site
and remotely located.
Particular attention will be
given to some inexpensive
antenna systems that make this possible.
To put it in perspective,
Carlos and Eloy W4ERP made a contact across the Gulf of
America on 13cm (2.3 GHz) setting a new record at 1105 miles!
Of course, conditions were
just right for the "skip" to work.
Technicians -- you are also authorized
to operate on these bands.
It's a great opportunity for
you to make DX contacts! In fact, there are numerous contests
in these bands -- about 45 annually per one website's
listings.
Carlos will also talk about
setting up a beacon in our area (a low power transmitter to
provide signals for graphically plotting propagation) and how
it can assist in making contacts.
Those of us who attended the
last membership meeting (in July) were introduced to this with
his PowerPoint presentation.
This workshop is a
continuation on the subject -- but even if you didn't make the
meeting, jump-in, because Carlos will be reviewing his earlier
presentation.
Looking forward to seeing you
Sunday, August 3rd.
[If weather forces a
postponement, we will announce the change here and on the
club's website]
