Our last Lecture and Lab for the year, on October 28th, will be an open forum: you can work on an un-finished kit, have your antenna checked by a professional, or give a talk about what you’ve been up to. Please contact the club if you’d like to give a presentation.

My favorite contest calendar site has been down today, but the ARRL’s calendar reminds us that there’s an EME contest going on right now. We also have the 60th anniversary JOTA coming up on October 21st, and the ARRL North Texas Mentorfest on the same day. Mentorfest volunters will find information at the link given; JOTA volunteers should email N5BB or N5HYP at ARRL.net.
Our last Lecture and Lab for the year, on October 28th, will be a smörgåsbord: bring your Buddipoles to test and adjust them, bring your un-finished kits from previous labs, or buy a left-over kit from the club to work on. If you have short presentation or show-and-tell you’d like to share, this is the day for it. Please contact the club if you’d like to give a presentation.
