New POTA/Field EFHW Antenna

This looks like a super easy antenna to deploy in the field. Or even a back up antenna to have on hand in case of emergency needs.

After a few years of bring away... we are going back to Harry's Cafe for the Wednesday Coffee QSO. Farmhouse was fun.... but kind of cramped. We hope to get our numbers back with this move. A few of us stopped by after the meeting Saturday and let them know we were coming.. in numbers smaller now but we hope to get it back to the 15-20 we used to see every week!

Plus.. there is a LITTLE history there.......

SEKARC February Meeting With Presentation

It's that time again.... and our goal is to be much more active with meetings and events in 2024. On February 24th at 9am at Pittsburg Fire Station #1 located at 911 W 4th in Pittsburg. Winter Field Day was a complete success so let's keep it going! As normal we will have coffee. doughnuts and of course the famous breakfast casserole for all! We will be having a presentation and Zoom demo of the recently talked about. Chris NØYH and Tim N5STR will be showing us the RM Noise application with a live radio demo!

Then Winter Field Day results will be discussed and how we can make Field Days even better at the SEKARC by using/building band filters to improve the 2 station operation! There is plenty of parking in the back and please use the main entrance in the front of the rear East door. Please stay tuned to the website here, email list, facebook group and GroupMe sites for updates and additional information
