Dave Antry WD9HBA (Retired AF) will speak on USAF MARS & the October MARS COMEX Interoperability Exercise Originating ICS 213 Messages with focus on accuracy and delivery. The two primary methods of delivery were MARS Operators to Local/Section Traffic Networks and ICS 213 Via WINLINK. Should be a very informative presentation! We are also going to have nominations for election.
Dwayne KA9KQH is going to give a presentation on 3d printing and the uses amateur radio operators have.
Steve Galchutt WG0AT lives in Monument Colorado where he spends his days refining his portable operating gear and activating many Colorado peaks by participating in the SOTA program. This month, Steve will share some of his portable operating techniques with us and show us a few of the beautiful places where he has operated.
This year, Field Day is going to be quite different for the members of the SVRC. Since the Covid virus has restricted our movements and social distancing is the new normal, the SVRC is not going to assemble a team to conduct Field Day as it has in the past. Instead, we are recommending that our members run their own Field Day exercise on their own. As long as you follow the health guidelines, we hope you can work from home or from some personal outdoor area and make as many contacts as you can.
Modern Amateur radio incorporates digital computing systems like never before. The word “Binary” is tossed about freely with sometimes little understanding of what a binary numbering system is or how binary mathematics actually works. This elementary video helps explain how a group of solid state elements can apply basic binary math to perform a function. We hope this five-minute video helps remove some of the mystery from digital electronics.
