END OF THE YEAR BUSINESS MEETING
As 2024 winds down, we’re excited to invite you to our final meeting of the year on Thursday December 19, 2024! Let’s get together to wrap up another great year of ham radio fun and fellowship.
And guess what? We’re making it extra special with chicken wings served up at the meeting! It’s our way of saying thanks for being such an awesome group.
To help us plan and make sure we’ve got enough wings for everyone, please RSVP to olson339@comcast.net by December 15. Just reply to this email and let us know if you’re coming (and if you’re bringing anyone along).
Looking forward to seeing you there,
LEARNING FT8 SUPER FOX HOUND
By request the topic for this month is FT8 Operations focused on Fox and Hound operations for DX and will include the new Superfox/Hound mode introduced Summer 2024. The advantages of SNR below CW levels has made the mode popular for operators with less than ideal operating conditions; that is the vast majority of us in some form or another.
The presentation will be by Ed NN2D with audience help from our members that are chasing DX themselves.
