SBARC General Club Meeting – July 16, 2021

We will be having our meeting on Zoom again this month but hope we can resume in-person meetings soon. Officials in charge of our normal meeting facilities have not yet adopted a post-pandemic policy and outside groups are still not allowed to hold meetings there. We hear they are going to revisit this policy later this month, so hopefully we’ll get the go-ahead soon.

We were hoping to have a presentation on Mesh networking this month but had a date mix-up and we are rescheduling to the August. So, this month we are going to talk about the new SpaceX Starlink internet system. Elon Musk has launched an ambitious project to bring internet to the entire globe and how but works is the next generation in communications.

SBARC K6TZ is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: SBARC General Club Meeting – July 16, 2021
Time: Check-in on Jul 16, 2021 07:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Meeting starts at 7:30.

General Club Meeting – June 18th, 2021

SBARC repeater sites offer our members a lot of choices in how we communicate with each other. When we have a QSO with another ham or participate in a net, it seems so simple – all we need to do is press the PTT button. Right? Well, there is a lot more to it than that. Many of our members, especially new ones, have no idea of the complexity and effort required to get our signals from point A to point B.

Join us for a virtual tour of our repeater sites and see the amazing level of sophistication we have available to us. You’ll be surprised at the quality of workmanship, the equipment, and the huge number of related parts that go into running just one site. And we have three, all linked together. We’ll also talk about all the individual repeaters we have available, what they are used for, and leave plenty of time for questions.

The virtual doors will open at 7:00pm and the meeting will start at 7:30pm. Hope to see you there.
