I hate it when the 1st is on a Tuesday, and the monthly statement isn't issued until late. I haven't received that yet, but here is the activity for the funds for the month.  If the statement arrives and differs, I'll let you know. This does agree to the balances online. I hope to be at the meeting via Zoom, so if there are any questions, please let me know by email or during the meeting. 73 Richard KN6RK -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Turns out there are some great tools for getting a really good idea of how your antenna performs on the different bands. I can do a talk at the next meeting about what I've found, if that would be of interest. Let me know directly and I'll do it if anyone is interested. 73 Dave K6WCE -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I followed plans laid out by this guy KJ6ER for a 1/4-wave vertical with elevated and tuned radials on 6m-20m bands. It's a simple concept (so KJ6ER's branding seems silly to me). I used parts from Chameleon , Super Antenna (thanks Jeanie!), N6ARA , and the hardware store. I'd bet many of you could build this with stuff you already have laying around. Here's a link to the plans: https://bit.ly/KJ6ERPERformer I've had pretty good success with this design, due to its efficiency and ease of setup. Set up near saltwater or from a mountain summit for best results :) Jacob Partida Research Technician Cal Poly Humboldt Marine Laboratory m: 310.995.8596 o: 707.826.3707 -.- --- -.... .--- -. --.- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Coffee goes on at 10AM. This is at Fireman's park in Scotia, right along the river, in the grove of redwood trees! Bring some food to share, money to spend, and pencil in plenty of time for good eats and plenty of gabbing. The weather's going to be PERFECT. Get off your duff and get down to Scotia. Don't make the mistake of going to the Fireman's park in Rio Del! We will be in Scotia :) 73 Jaye ke6sls -- wishing you well Jaye, ke6sls--via the toshiba w/thunderchicken
