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
We had a recorded lecture on Grounding and Bonding by Ward Silver, N0AX. Very useful, pointing to a number of other resources, e.g. the ARRL book with the same title.Future Meeting plans: - November: Srinivasan Sridharan, Principle Engineer at T-Mobile, will explain 5G mobile technology, focusing on the PHY and MAC layers.
- December: ordinarily the Ice Cream social and gift exchange. We need to make new plans.
