Ryan will bring over equipment from the D8 shack. Kirk and Teresa will work on logistics, including loading the trailer, bringing over equipment from the A2 shack (easy up, banner, antennas, etc.), moving the radios in the trailer so that they are far enough apart that a different person could work each station, coordinating signups, and getting folding tables and chairs for the event. Kirk will coordinate getting the trailer moved after 11 am on Friday.

Radio club meeting 4-30-15

5 members in attendance:  Kirk Crawford, Don Hall, Ryan Noguchi, Jason Bayonne, and Teresa Moore

Antenna Test report:  Last week we set up the Crank IR and Buddipole antennas and got some experience with tuning them.  The Crank IR is pretty easy; the Buddipole has to be adjusted manually.  It took a while to figure out how to use the SWR meter in the trailer as it is not a design anyone was familiar with.  We heard a couple people on 20 and 15 meters, but the bands were not very active.  We did not make any contacts.  We plan to do another test on Wednesday, May 6.  Ryan volunteered to go to the D8 shack to see if he could hear us.

On May 19, the club will be manning a booth at the Aerospace Career Development Day.  Our plan is to set up the KX3 and the Buddipole and just see what we can hear, and talk to people about the club.  We have to be there between 11:30 and 1:30, and will probably have to be there early to set up.  We need volunteers to help with the booth.  You don’t have to stay the whole time.

Pain, cheapest price for levitra http://amerikabulteni.com/2014/04/14/2014-pulitzer-prize-winners-full-list/ weakness of the extremity, and loss of vision are not present in its herbal version.

It has become viagra ordination amerikabulteni.com a blessing for the individuals suffering from the pain of injury as depicted by physiotherapist Glasgow. There are some other problems that stop sans prescription viagra a man performing well during the time of intercourse. June 27-28 is Field Day.  We discussed some plans.  We will use the trailer rig, the KX3 + amp, and Teresa’s personal HF rig for three HF stations.  We can use the Buddipole, CrankIR, and a club dipole on Teresa’s portable mast for these stations.  We will need to either guy the antennas or use weight sacks to put on the tripod legs of the two club portable antennas.  Don volunteered to look into weight sacks.  For the VHF stations, Kirk found some better whips than the current little tiny ones on top of the trailer.  Jason and Kirk will move the trailer out of the tent so we can test these VHF whips.  We can move extension cables, the awning, and anything else we may need from the shacks and into the trailer before Field Day.  We will plan several lunchtime trailer events over the next couple months to get the trailer ready.  We need to space the VHF radios farther apart so there is room for multiple people to work them.  We can get extra points for advertising (put a notice in the newspaper, invite representatives to see our site, etc.).  If you are interested in volunteering to help with the advertising campaign, please contact Kirk.  

Don gave a report on the cross-band repeater project.  He has identified the Kenwood TMV71A 144/440 dual band radio as the best candidate.  The plan would be to mount it on a cart so it is portable and not necessarily tied to the trailer.  He will be doing more research on an antenna, portable mast, cart, and battery that can last at least 8 hours.  Next month he will have a list of parts/prices for us to consider.

Our ultimate goal is to be able to contact Colorado Springs and Chantilly from the trailer.  However, we’re not there yet.  As an interim measure, after Field Day we would like to set up a regular sched with the radio clubs at COS and Chantilly from the D8 shack.  If anyone wants to volunteer to lead that project, please contact Kirk.

We discussed possible meeting topics for future meetings.  I will research a tree mounted dipole system I plan to use for  my home, and will present that at some point.

Teresa’s husband knows about digital modes may come in and present.

We also agree we should check  out the field day equipment we have to make sure we know how to set it up and use it before field day comes along. Hopefully we can do this in either March or April.

I also took an action item to contact Jason to inquire about the  HF Radio Status for the trailer.

Teresa will study the cross-band repeater mode of her new radio, and we plan to try it out in order to test it’s use for a possible future CERT exercise.

We gave recommendations to Victor Lin on possible VHF radios to buy as his first radio. The conclusion was to try the inexpensive Baofeng radio available on Amazon for ~$30.

The meeting was adjourned at about 12:20 and we went up to the D8 Shack for a little tour.
