The Bridgerland Amateur Radio Club (BARC) meeting topic will be on antennas, home brew and commercial. Want to know how to build antennas using items such as coax, wire, pvc pipe, aluminum rods, copper pipe, and other parts? Then be at our club meeting for some how to build information on antennas. There will be presentations on making a G5RV and a dipole antenna for the HF bands, vertical VHF dipole, copper J-Pole VHF antenna, and a helical VHF antenna. Will also talk about a home built hand held yagi UHF antenna and a commercial hand held VHF/UHF yagi antenna. This will give you information so you can make your own antenna.
Hope to see you there and then you can go home, build an antenna and get on the air.
For those of you who got a new handheld for Christmas and need some help on operating and programming it, bring it along with its instruction manual to the club meeting. We will have a session after the club meeting to help you with your new handheld radio.
All you Elmer’s out there…. Bring your HT programming stuff to the club meeting and help with the programming of the HT’s.
