October 2, 2014 Club Meeting
Thursday, October 2, 2014 at 7:00 PM Red Cross Building, 60 Hawthorne St., Medford, OR (across from Hawthorne Park)
Program: Basics of DSP using Gnuradio. Building an SDR Receiver, Tom McDermott, N5EG
This month’s program will be a tutorial on Digital Signal Processing, using Gnuradio to demonstrate the results, and to ultimately build an HF SSB/CW SDR receiver from the building blocks in the demo (without writing any code). This presentation was given at the recent ARRL/TAPR Digital Communications Conference in Austin.
Rumor has it that a contingent from SOARC and RVARC will mount a county expedition for the California QSO Party October 4th and 5th. Those interested or curious might want to talk with Scott Cummings or Carl Van Orden at the club meeting on October 2nd.
Announced in the October 2014 issue of The Repeater.
September 6, 2014 Club Meeting
Saturday, September 6, 2014, 10:00 AM—3:00 PM Red Cross Building, 60 Hawthorne St., Medford, OR (across from Hawthorne Park)
Program: Swap Meet
The September meeting is the club’s annual swap meet.
It’s that time of year again. Summer waning, Labor Day, back to school, and the RVARC Swap Meet. Time for going through your shacks, your garage, and your attic for ham-related items you a) don’t use anymore, b) don’t want anymore, c) never really used in the first place, or d) that you want to sacrifice to appease the XYL or OM.

June 5, 2014 Club Meeting
Thursday, June 5, 2014 at 7:00 PM Red Cross Building, 60 Hawthorne St., Medford, OR (across from Hawthorne Park)
Program: Photo tour of Member Ham Shacks, Jack Schock, WA7IHU; Field Day 2014 Plans
Close-to-final plans for RVARC’s 2014 Field Day will be announced and discussed at the June 5th meeting. We will certainly run as a “2A” club this year, but there’s still time to shoot for 3A or even 4A is there’s enough participation and sharing of gear to do so. Please give this serious thought, and remember that your commitment need not be a big one. However much you wish to participate will greatly enhance the experience for all, and it will certainly be much appreciated.
The program for the June 5th meeting will consist of a presentation on and discussion of Field Day 2014 plans (during the business portion) and Jack Schock WA7IHU’s periodic slide show (another cycle!) on the ham shacks, antennas, and other ham-radio projects of our members. If you have not yet sent him your photos, please do so soon ([email protected]). If you’d like help taking and sending your photos, I’ll be happy to help out with camera and Jack’s email address in hand.
Announced in the June 2014 issue of The Repeater.

He’ll be speaking on and demonstrating small-loop antennas–not the big delta loops or quad loops, but the kind you can carry around on the end of a broom stick (in the spring sunshine!), or set up in the corner of your second-floor apartment to make a little HF activity possible.
