Fair Lawn Amateur Radio Club to Hold Special Presentation

On Moon Bounce and Weak Signal Operation

 

 

The Fair Lawn Amateur Radio Club (FLARC) is pleased to announce a program providing a comprehensive overview of one of the continually evolving aspects of amateur radio communications at its club’s meeting room this Friday, February 20, 2015 at 7PM. 

 

This special presentation, “Modern 2 Meter EME and Weak Signal Operation” will be given by Woody Peitzer (AK2F) and Roger Shultz (NJ2R). 

 

Woody is an active ham on 160 meters through 440 MHz.  He received a BSEE from Syracuse University in 1980 with graduate school at University of NC Charlotte. He holds several patents in LTE and handset technology. Roger, a University of Akron graduate, was first licensed in 1956 as KN8AJF in Ohio and is currently active on 80 through 2 meters, QRP portable VHF, EME and terrestrial on 2 meters for almost 5 years. Both Woody and Roger hold Amateur Extra Class licenses. 

 

Earth–Moon–Earth communication (EME), also known as moon bounce, is a radio communication technique which relies on the propagation of radio waves from an  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth> Earth-based transmitter directed, via reflection from the surface of the  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon> Moon, back to an Earth-based receiver.

 

The club is located in the Fair Lawn Community Center at 10-20 20th Street in Fair Lawn. Talk in via the FLARC repeater, W2NPT, 144.870 input/145.470 output/PL 107.2.  
All are welcome.  Handicap access is available. The club’s website is www.FairLawnARC.org. 

 

The Fair Lawn Amateur Radio Club is one of the oldest continuously operating radio clubs in New Jersey, with five operating stations and full test bench.  FLARC is an ARRL Special Service Club  and, as the Fair Lawn Radio Emergency Service, provides assistance the Borough of Fair Lawn, Office of Emergency Management (OEM), CERT and various other emergency services.
