Beginner and Expert DIY cable builders — Please join your fellow Ham operators for a hands-on session of building or repairing any power and communications cables you desire for your station, mobile, or Go Box.

We will provide a few soldering stations, wide variety of power and communications wire, the club’s specialized cable crimpers & terminations for Anderson Power Pole connectors, various coax terminals, RJ-45 (8P8C) plugs/sockets, DB-9 M/F connectors, heat shrink wrap, fuse holders, ring and spade terminals, wire cutters/strippers, a label printer, free advice on cable design, and lots more.
