Thursday, September 6, 2007 at 7:00 PM Red Cross Building, across from Hawthorne Park, South of Tinseltown, in Medford
Program: “Regenerative receivers and how to build one that works”, Bud Larson, W7LNG
This month at our Sept 6 meeting, Bud, W7LNG will put on the program. The subject will be “regenerative receivers and how to build one that works.” This is a timeless subject as many modern receivers in garage door openers and the like are still using this type circuit. Don’t miss this one as I’m sure Bud will give us his usual enjoyable presentation.

Meeting called to order by President Jack Schock, WA7IHU, at 7pm.
Introduction of members and guests followed. Nineteen individuals attended the meeting. Including past president Bob, K7JBU.
The President indicated that our Club Secretary and Treasure were absent therefore those reports were not available for reading. K7VS, Van was asked to take minutes for the meeting.
New Business: Motion made by Bud, K7LNG that the Club equipment to wit, Drake TR7 and associated External VFO, Power supply and Speaker be sold on EBAY. That the club retain for future use the TS-440, Kenwood Desk Mic and External Power supply and the Icom IC-740, AT-500 automatic antenna tuner, Icom Desk Mic and two older Azden 2 meter mobiles. Motion seconded and passed with one dissenting vote.
Don Bennett, KG7BP reminded the group of the recent passing and SK of former RVAC member Wallace Raker, KB7NOA.
It was suggested by Van, K7VS, that our club radio equipment equipment be stored at Lud Sibley’s place. KB7EVN. Van indicated that he was running out of space due to various projects in his shop. Lud will be contacted to see if he is agreeable to this.
Question from the floor regarding one of our club generators and if it had been located. Van, K7VS responded that he has the mode, color, and serial number and believes it may be in the hands of Jackson County Emergency Management at the county shops on Agate Road but has not been able to check to see if it is in fact there.
Old Business: It was decided everyone had a good time at the Club get-together at the home of Van and Loretta in August and it was unofficially decided to do it again next year.
Club official Resident Old Timer “OT” Bud Larson, W7LNG, put on a very interesting program on regenerative receiver theory and construction with several receivers he has constructed over the years.
Also, Jack Shock, WA7IHU, showed a rather sophisticated regenerative receiver he had built over the winter using both modern IC and older tube type construction. All in all it was an extremely well thought out program by Bud.
Following our normal Coffee break and visitation period the meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:15PM
Respectfully Submitted. Acting Club Secretary Van Sias K7VS
