We’re going to try a little something different this meeting. Rather than have a speaker, we are going to to have a Town Hall style meeting. Members of the Board of Directors will be there and we’ll answer your questions about what goes on under the hood.

The club is doing a lot of interesting things, especially in the telecommunications area. We’ll do a couple of real-time demos and show you what we’re up to and how this work benefits the club.

So bring your questions, ideas and concerns, and we’ll have an old fashioned meeting.

We hold SBARC Club Meetings at the Goleta Union School District, 401 N. Fairview Ave. in Goleta, right across the street from the Goleta Library. Doors open at 7:00 PM and the meeting starts at 7:30 PM. Bring a guest and put the date on your calendar.

Post expires at 11:59pm on Friday March 17th, 2017 but will still be available in the archives.

We had another good net tonight with 13 check-ins plus net control, Ken, KA6KEN and some chat room visitors! Tonight’s subjects included:

  • Flagpole antennas, what are they and what might the cause and effect of things like yard-arms be on radio waves depending on how it’s wired.
  • What is the proper coax length in proportion to the frequency wavelength you intend to transmit on?
  • Do microwaves get refracted by trees and other obstacles? (As in Mesh networking)
  • Bruce’s, KK6SXA radio noise problem could be related to not having a PL assigned to the receive frequency.
