August 13 - Back to the Clubhouse
What is it? Well you needed to be at the meeting to grasp the whole
picture. We had a great time. Jack, K5FSE, showed off his new
tennis ball launcher. Tom Dooley, K4TJD, moderated. We had
several items for the show and tell, gave the "L" list a good tongue
thrashing, learned a little more about Ed's, N4XY, GDMs and Harold,
KE6TI, had some interesting give aways. And Phil, K4PQC is getting
slimmer all the time.

NoGa Meeting
- Feb 5, 2005
It was a beautiful day, maybe that accounted for attendance being less than usual.
Joe,W4JHR did a great job of chairing the meeting, Marvin brought in a lot of free
goodies, and Steve contributed a number of extra door prizes, beyond the usual $ 15.00
gift certificate from HRO.
Phil continues to reduce the weight of his Sprint XCVR .

Activity Fun Nights
Club members meet for chatting, testing rigs, and HAVING FUN:
Tuesday night we have the 2 meter FM net. At 9 PM on the Atlanta Radio
Club repeater on The frequency is 146.82/22 with a PL of 142.5.
(Thanks to Guy Puckett, AF4MN for volunteering to run this net.. 9/17/2002)
Tuesday night we have the cw qrp net. At 9:30 PM Eastern on 3686.4 KC on
Join us and try out that rig. If you don't have a QRP rig, call us with your KW or
what-have-you. But try to turn off all the power you can and HV FN.!! (Sometimes the
NCS doesn't even make it but check anyway). This is a slow speed net. Whom
ever is NCS will normally slow down to the slowest check in speed.
4. Click here to
subscribe to the NoGa email list server and keep up with what is happening at NoGa.
5. At the present time there is an informal round table (RT) every night on 3625.00
MHz. This is a very short (and very slow) net and we generally have 3 or 4 checkins.
We exchange signal reports, review what everyone is running and some times talk
about what we have been doing. This is not a controlled net and handled like a
normal round table. The idea behind this activity was to help folks increase their
CW skills so you are allowed to run QRO if it helps in this particular activity. (as
of 9/2003 and still going!) |
