Spring/Fall Project 2021     
     We are looking at three possible antenna builds for 2021 depending
     on how things work out with the world collapse in general. But really,
     Bruce Yaeger [KE7TDR] and Henry Hunter [KN3RD] have brought to our
     attention a dummy load project that first appeared in the 2018 QST
     magazine. We are also looking at a possible magnetic loop antenna, and
     probably the easiest would be a roll up slim jim antenna....

Spring/Fall Project 2020     
     Uh - we are developing our surivial skills this year. It turns 
     out that one of the essentials of handling 2020 is toilet paper.
     Honestly, there has been no time or chance of a project this year
     because of all the things that have happened. First COVID, and 
     now riots nationwide. Who knows what November will hold for us.
     Say pryers for the country.

     A side note - Matthew Grayson decided to re-work the website 
     so that it's mobile device friendly. Well - most of it anyway.
     Please send him info on any corrections you might notice...
Spring/Fall Project 2019     
     We are building something different this year. It will involve 
     a variety of skills in the fabrication process - ranging from
     drilling holes for panel mount indicators and switches, etc to
     some intermediate work at soldering.

Spring Project 2018     
     As you are probably aware, it was voted into effect 
     that this spring the BSARC will focus on building an HF 
     antenna for use during the 2018 Field Day operations downtown
     Big Spring, TX!! So this spring get ready to work together 
     on the construction of a good size, portable, antenna that 
     will also be something the club owns and can use each year
     for the event. Click HERE to see the informs.
