Hello SARC and Friends
Antenna Day: Saturday May 31st or June 7th starting at noon.
Our annual antenna day will be held in the same location Grey Abbey park,180 Greyabbey Trail, Scarborough, ON M1E 1V9. Either the last Saturday of May or the first Saturday of June weather permitting. Hopefully we won't be plagued by bad weather like last years attempts to nail down the date.Get ready to have some radio fun and bring along anything you want to try out as an antenna. There have been some very interesting designs appear in the park.
Antenna Project:
Let's continue our discussion on the SARC Antenna and tuner design build project. I have found the wire winders that we saw in the video where the travel clothesline winder was converted into a nice way of coiling the antenna wire and connecting the winders to increase the antenna length. They come at the horrific price of 4.99 each. Stranded 22 AWG stranded insulated wire is available at SAYAL for 14.95 per 100 feet or 102.95 for 1000 feet. Banana Jack 1.95 and Banana Plug 1.95. Since then I have tested the ganging of them is series so it will be interesting to see how they perform.
I am building the prototype tuner and should have a sample ready for this Tuesday's meeting.
Field Day: June 28 and 29:
We will be joined again by our friends at the Toronto Amateur Radio Club at our usual location Bluffers Park Yacht Club. Again a big thanks to BPYC and Dave Blizzard VE3SVL for the gracious use of their facility.
We should start preparations so we can have a smooth and fun Field Day.
There are a few more items to discuss during the meeting, so please come on line and enjoy.
