From tara.club at npe.nmt.edu Mon Feb 7 15:19:08 2022 From: tara.club at npe.nmt.edu (kc5oro) Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2022 13:19:08 -0700 Subject: [TARA] Starting The Semester Message-ID: Hey all, It is that time of year again: club rooster and meeting time. Below is a form that asks about what times you all would want to meet and where you are in the field of amateur radio. Please fill it out using your @nmt email as the first section of the form serves as the club rooster to be submitted to the SGA. If you do not have a @nmt email, then you can use your personal one. The club packets are due this Friday so try to fill out the form as soon as you can. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfV1vUt1XAJReOmoJTxsw-YR_61ktxfooflu3Tb6wJPUotVbA/viewform?usp=sf_link And speaking of club packets, we are looking for officers if anyone is interested. We will talk more about this during our first meting, but I will give a quick overview of some plans this semester. First, there will be a testing session here in Socorro later this semester for new people to get licensed and existing licensees to advance. When the time draws closer, we will be holding cram sessions. Second, the weather station project is still on the table for anyone interested. I will work on it some myself, but I would also like any of you to get involved. Third, if you can get enough licensed members interested, we will hold an open net, possible with a buddy system so that non-licensed members can participate. Finally for now, we are in the process of putting up a new antenna for our club station and when everything is set up, I would like to have times where you all can come by and experience HF operation. We have a TARA Discord Server, BTW. Join with the link below: https://discord.gg/JAXXEnrhkE Once you join, have a read through the rules-and-roles channel to get assigned your appropriate roles. Looking forward to another great semester. 73, Jared Jackson (N1GK) From tara.club at npe.nmt.edu Fri Feb 11 11:06:24 2022 From: tara.club at npe.nmt.edu (kc5oro) Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2022 09:06:24 -0700 Subject: [TARA] Survey closing Message-ID: <74a43edc-0a2c-918b-4606-35f852e54319@npe.nmt.edu> The survey that was sent out earlier this week will be closing at 12:00 today.

I had planned to have our first meeting this Tuesday, but I just found out that the room we were going to use is probably maybe not available. With that kind of uncertainty, I am not going to commit to a meeting and we will therefore hold our first meeting on March 8th. As I have mentioned before, we are installing a new antenna. I had planned to have it fully up by now but last weekend didn't work out. As such, we will work to finish it this weekend, either Saturday or Sunday, if the weather permits. We are at the point of putting up the radiating elements and tuning the antenna, and I invite any of you who are interested to come by. I will send a ping in the discord with more exact times that you can come by. -- 73, Jared Jackson (N1GK) *$\neg\exists(x)(H(x)\land I(x))$* *Email:* joj_lan at yahoo.com
