This Week at Hackspace:
Tom (VE3RSA) will be running
CW practice downstairs.
If you’re looking to sharpen your Morse code skills or start from scratch, definitely drop in!
For this Tuesday's Hackspace meeting:
-
The good weather is holding up, so we’re heading back outdoors for more antenna work! Hackspace has a great "go with the flow" atmosphere, and while we always start with a plan, we never truly know what interesting tangents we’ll end up exploring by the end of the night.
-
Indoor Bench Work; Not into antenna wrangling? No problem! The indoor benches are open for project builds, hardware troubleshooting, radio programming.
-
Bring your gear, your tuning tips, and your curiosity—let's see what we end up exploring this week!
We Need Your Ideas (and Antennas!)
Our antenna demonstration list is running low! If you have a unique homebrew or commercial antenna of your own that you'd like to bring out and show off at a future meeting, please let us know. We are also tossing around the idea of a future group build project—potentially something like the Challenger Antenna (designed by Greg, KJ6ER), which is a highly efficient, off-center-fed (OCF) half-wave vertical. Let's talk on Tuesday to see if there is enough interest to get a group build organized!
Gear & Coffee: As always, bring your latest homebrew projects, portable gear, or questions for some hands-on tweaking and discussion.
Looking forward to seeing everyone out there for some practical antenna tuning and great conversation!
