NEWS

Link to Old news

The February 10th meeting will be at the normal place and time ....
The Program will be presented by Steve W7RSK about why Antenna tuners are needed, types of tuners and how to adjust them. There will be a tuner simulator program running so club members can practice if they would like to. The program will also include a 'show and tell' of actual antenna tuners and parts and pieces.
This should be a very informative program.. Hope to see everyone at the meeting.
FYI, check the membership list for your dues status.
