  Workshop: Understanding and Applying Smith Chart Basics – July 22nd at
  10AM

The Antenna Committee will hold a construction event on Saturday, 
September 23^rd  at 10am at the W2ZQ station.  We will review basic 
antenna theory and then build, tune and test a 10/15/20m vertical 
antenna. A vertical antenna’s maximum gain is at a low take off angle 
and therefore a good DX antenna.  The antenna will be built on a 
telescoping fiberglass pole and will demonstrate construction techniques 
at a fraction of the cost of a commercially available antenna. .
