 Last Meeting
16 May 13

KC2TX - Spencer

We had a guest for the evening, KC2TX - Spence, who says he hasn't been to a SADXA meeting in years.  Welcome back.  We hope you will joins us again.


Editor's note:  If some of the pictures look a bit strange it's because N7BXX - Gail took some! By the way, this is one of my favorites of him!

W1KSZ - Richard opened the meeting with the usual round of introductions and it was soon apparent that the DX activity had followed the trend of lately, nothing much.  W7CS - Chuck (Editor's favorite shot of Chuck) said he had broken a rib and had been somewhat inactive for the last month. AB7AA - Bill said hewas delving into Polarizatioin Diversity, a broad subject indeed.  Click the plane for a layman's tutorial. .  KC9ORD- Mike was fairly active with is new antenna system with 231 countries and 50 band slots for the month.  NQ7R - Tom has been having fun with Meteor Scatter .  I guess there must be enough showers so that it's not like watching paint dry such as 6 meters lately.


The business part of the meeting was pretty short, so we soon took a break as our VP, N7WS - Wes set things up for the evening presentation:


The evening's presentation was a video of the TN2T DXpedition to the Republic of Congo.  Not much narrative but parts of it were pretty interesting, such as the erection of a 160 meter wet-noodle verticle.  Overall, the group did a pretty good job considering the number of operators.


You should be chastised for missing this meeting.  We had a short crew, but it was still a good meeting.  You can do better.
PS:  Checkout the great picture I took of KE7GYQ - Doug!

 

NOTES

I have added a few additional links below as recommended.  I've received several new pictures of current members, but I'm still short a few as well as the bios.  I suppose it's not absolutely necessary that the page have your bio, privacy issues, you know.  However, after all, this IS an amateur radio organization and Hams like to talk and brag too. Hi, Hi.   I will be bringing my trusty camera to take pictures and I welcome any picture that you might prefer to replace the ones that I post.  Just e-mail a suitable picture to wd7f@wd7f.com

Thanks.  de WD7F - John

PS:  Any other amateur radio links you would like here just for fun?
