Electronics
As a service to the community, we can offer our opinion on what your old electronics or ham radio equipment might be worth. If you have leftover or unused ham radio gear, we may be able to help provide advice on its value, and possibly remove equipment or sell things off, and we gratefully accept donations of surplus electronics. Contact a club volunteer to get started.

Last Meeting
Quentin Caudron, K7DRQ, explained how to use software to apply genetic software processes to design a 2M 4-element Yagi antenna. The base software is Numerical Electromagnetic Code (NEC-2). HIs software created a 'herd' of choices, and refined them over time. Best: high forward gain, low SWR. He is also doing experimental work on fractal antennas, and to support multiple bands. Meeting plans: - November 6, Mihai Manolache, W4MHI, will explain GoTennas. He will have demonstrations.
- December 4: Ice Cream social and gift exchange
offered programs for 2020: - Mihai Manolache, W4MHI, will continue describing more new digital modes.
