LARC General Meeting Minutes

January 2021

The LARC General Meeting for January 2021 was held on Wednesday, December 16 at 7 pm via Zoom. Chuck opened the meeting at 7:00 PM, welcoming everyone.  Mark Skelton (N7CTM) began with an overview of Rocky Mountain Ham and all the services they provide, including RMHam University.  Mark suggested we all go the the RMHam website and check out the classes they offer.

The evening presentation was conducted by Ed Fong (WB6IQN).  Ed discussed his J-Pole VHF/UHF antenna why it is unique and how it works.  It was a very interesting presentation and we all learned what a J-Pole antenna is and why it works so well. Ed’s company with the help of his students designs and builds antennas for the ham community and he is well known for his work. 

The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 PM.

Respectively submitted,

Pat Engstrom (W1PGE), Secretary
