March 7, 2013 Club Meeting
Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 7:00 PM Red Cross Building, 60 Hawthorne St., Medford, OR (across from Hawthorne Park)
Program: How to operate HF with live demonstration, Herb, Tom, Jeff and others
As promised previously the club is making an effort to help newer hams get started in the hobby. If you’re just getting started in Ham Radio, or are returning after an extended period, you definitely will enjoy our March meeting. Herb, Tom, Jeff and others will demonstrate how to operate an HF station. A station will be set up at the meeting to allow “hands on” experience for anyone who would like some assistance with getting started in HF or simply improving their operating skills. A mobile station in the parking lot will serve as the other station, so it’s guaranteed to be a friendly QSO!
It will also be a great opportunity to ask questions you might have about getting your HF station set up at home. We have a number of newly licensed hams in our club who are just starting out as we all did at one time. Everyone should feel free to ask questions and participate because that’s how we learn.

Speaking of presentations, I will be presenting the topic “Limited / Restricted Space Antennas and Operating” specifically as it applies to HF operations (also known as “How to Build Invisible Antennas”) at the January meeting. If you are in a situation where antennas are “not allowed” or have limited physical space, or know someone who is, I will present ideas to overcome this and show some specific examples of how some in our own club are dealing with it.

Our annual Christmas party is coming up quickly. On Saturday, December 8th at 6:00 pm we will meet at the residence of Tom McDermott, N5EG for a pot luck dinner. Tom has a very spacious home, so there is plenty of room for everyone. There will be good food, fellowship and plenty of ham radio conversation. It will be fun to get caught up on what we have all been doing with our hobby lately. I got to preview some of the projects Tom has been working on recently and I guarantee you will find them fascinating. I sincerely hope every one of you will be able to join us.
The December Meeting this year will be a pot-luck dinner. There will be NO GIFT EXCHANGE.
