Frank Harris
Frank Gave a Presentation to the LARC General meeting in February 2018
I first became a ham in 1957. College kept me too busy to operate, so my license expired. I got back into ham radio in 1997. My version of ham radio is 100% scratch built equipment. I buy nothing manufactured for ham radio except log books. As the years go by, my station gradually improves. It now covers 80M through 10M on CW. I’m on SSB on 80, 40, 20, 15, 12 & 10.
My rig is based mostly on the 1986 ARRL handbook. Modern designs in today’s QEX and Handbooks are usually full of mysterious ICs. In my opinion, they don’t qualify as homebrewing. My station will never reach the level of modern commercial equipment, but for me it’s lots more fun. If you wish to swap ideas about scratch-building or need help getting started, please write or e-mail. My station is described in excruciating detail in a free book, “Crystal Sets to SSB”

Edge of Space Science (EOSS) – Presentation @ Nov Gen Meeting
We are pleased to announce that EOSS will be presenting at our November General Meeting. Edge of Space Sciences (EOSS) is a Denver, Colorado based non-profit that explores science using amateur radio positioned on high altitude balloons. EOSS flew balloons carrying radios during the recent solar eclipse. This should be an interesting conversation from a number of perspectives.
