General Club Meeting – April 17, 2020 Will Be Live On-line

Well, the stay-at-home order is still in effect, so rather than cancel the meeting again, we’re going to try something new this month! We are going to have our club meeting live, online.

You will have two easy ways to attend the meeting.

  1. Using an online meeting program called Zoom.
  2. Visiting a live YouTube feed.

If you choose the Zoom option, you need a computer with a camera. You can also use a smartphone or a tablet. You will be able to participate in any discussion or ask questions. We’ll be able to see you, so if you want to speak, simply raise your hand and I’ll recognize you.

If you choose the YouTube option, you will be able to view and hear the meeting but you will not be able to directly participate. So, for YouTube users, we’ll be running a NET of sorts on the K6TZ repeater, and we’ll take breaks during the meeting to ask for questions or comments over the air. You can also send an email message to meeting@sbarc.org. I’ll be monitoring that account during the meeting and I’ll also take questions and comments there.

We’re going to ask you to check back on the front page of the SBARC website about 7:00pm on Friday. We won’t know the exact links until we open the meeting, and we’ll post them here.

We hope you will participate! Remember, visit https://www.sbarc.org about 7:00 pm or a little after for final instructions. The actual meeting will start at 7:30.

Post expires at 11:03pm on Friday April 17th, 2020 but will still be available in the archives.

We had another interesting net tonight with 24 check-ins plus net control Levi, K6LCM. Tonight’s topics included:

  • 20 M HF antenna on a sailboat.
  • The majority of tonight’s net was spent testing “Google Meet”, a remote video conferencing tool as we are all under the Governor’s Shelter in Place order. The idea is that if these emergencies become more prevalent we’ll technology and tools available to us to conduct meetings and get information out even though we might not be able to be out and about ourselves. The testing went well and we’ll be doing more of it in the future and possibly testing other remote collaboration platforms.
