I thought this was a kind of fun and easy hack I did the other afternoon…
I hope the idea can possibly be useful to others.
This is the finished “Weather Information Netbook” mounted on the wall in our living room.
I was told by the Wife I could do this “if there were not cords hanging everywhere”.
Well, they aren’t everywhere…
Our speaker this month will be Orville Beach, W6BI. Orville was scheduled to speak last fall, but the closure if I-5 that evening created a colossal traffic jam, and he was forced to turn back. This time, hopefully, things will be back to normal and Orville will be able to make it to our meeting in good time.
Orville K. Beach, W6BI, is a member of the Simi Settlers Amateur Radio Club of Simi Valley, California. Orville claims he is now All Digital, All the Time! He earned his Novice license in 1967 with the call of WN6WEY and has held an Amateur Extra class license for the past 17 years and has acquired the vanity call of W6BI.
As an example of All Digital, All the Time, look at his operating style:
Although he enjoys digital more than analog radio, he says that his principal interests are technical as well as ragchewing. Orville’s topic will be, “Digital Mesh Networking for Amateur Radio.” This should prove to be one of the more interesting topics we have had recently, so everyone should try to male the meeting. We will be hosting Orville for dinner before the meeting at Cody’s in the Turnpike Shopping Center at 5:30 PM. Everyone is welcome to join is.

Our January meeting featured a presentation from Theo, KK6YYZ. Theo’s presentation included a slideshow that illustrated the installation of a home emergency power generator and he went over all the various considerations necessary for proper installation. His presentation was also punctuated by some lively discussion on electrical equipment grounding, electrical codes, and other good questions.
You can listen to the audio part of the presentation below:
