Serving the Longmont Colorado Community!
A few weeks ago, we had not 1 but 2 workshops at the Clover building. Chuck put on a Yagi build and Ed talked about antennas that we would build for Field Day. Here’s the video.

Hello LARC – Well get your gear out and antennas – it’s fox hunting time!!!
Here is the general area for the fox.
Go find it and take a picture with it, then send the picture to me.
The hunt will run from 10AM to 1PM. Come out, have some fun and find the fox.
Almost forgot – the fox will be transmitting on 146.565 at about 1 watt.
It will transmit a CW message – figure it out and send it to me along with picture. at k0itp@w0eno.org
Unlike LARC meetings where we attempt to have presentations that appeal to a wide range of interests, QSO Today offers a large number of presentations, each of a fairly narrow topic. You can sign up for some of the presentations that match your specific interests. Each presentation is 1/2 hour. You can move from session to session over time on Saturday and Sunday
See https://www.qsotodayhamexpo.com/
I am giving a presentation at 11 AM Saturday “How to beg, borrow, buy and operate an old fashioned Novice CW Rig for 80, 40, and 15” It is mostly about the fun and the practical challenges of bringing simple old tube equipment back to operation. I hope it appeals to those who have a desire to understand the basic circuitry of a classic transmitter and receiver.
Hope to see you there!
