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.
Spring HAM Class Cancelled
We had classes planned for the first two Saturdays in May. These were cancelled by order of the Police Chief. If restrictions relax, we my try to July or August. Otherwise, we still plan on classes: December 5th and 12th.

Last Meeting
Mihai Manolache (M4MHI) explained how to build a cross band repeater. He then programmed an off-the-shelf radio as a cross band repeater between 2M and 70cm. He demonstrated this calling from a handheld on 2M, mapping to 70cm, and used the fire repeater. Several club members heard this traffic. He will provide follow up material. He warned that these repeaters may not be left unattended.Future Meeting plans: See SquakBox for details.
