The April presentation is on how ham radio can support large planned public events. Rob will discuss the Chicago Marathon, Marine Corps marathon and the Boston Marathon. Ham radio plays a large part in supporting all of these events and has become well integrated into the public service sectors in the process.
The program for this month's meeting will be a presentation, "What do all those knobs and buttons on an HF radio do?" where we will discuss how to get started with your HF radio. The general public is welcome to attend as well as area ham operators and SVRC club members.
Logging has been such an integral part of ham radio since the very beginning. But - just what does logging entail? What makes a good log and why? How does a paper-log stack up to newer software? What's this ADI file format all about?
Come to the next SVRC meeting, (February 1 , starting at 7 p.m. at our Club HQ, Room 330, Red Cross Building, 1045 Outer Park Drive, Springfield ) and we'll figure it all out - interactively!
Bring your questions, your best ideas, and your experience with your own log and we'll talk about it.
