November Meeting - Jeff Stuparits, W4DD - Locating Power Line Interference and other RFI
Date: Thursday, November 2nd 2023 Time: 7:30 PM ET (2330Z) Location: Zoom -or- Meeting ID: 426 375 5765 Passcode: 791957 Speaker Location: Zoom Presentation: Last month, we heard all about the RF noise coming from Jupiter and other stellar sources. Unfortunately they aren't the only sources of noise that interferes with what we hear on our radios.. One of the stronger, terrestrial, sources are power lines. Jeff will tell us how he discovers the sources. Usually, the source is a transformer or other apparatus on top of a power pole somewhere in the neighborhood. Jeff will talk about the simple receiver he uses to pinpoint the noise. Once he finds it, he reports it to the power company and they service or replace the noisy device. Jeff's got this down to a science. We're lucky he'll be teaching us the methods he's developed over the years. Second Sunday in the Park (September 10 @ 2 PM ET) Date: Sunday, September 10th, 2023 Time: 2 PM ET (1800Z) - 5:30 PM (2130Z) Location: Brook Run Park sandwhich.clan.deserved (What3Words) 4770 North Peachtree Rd. Dunwoody, GA 30338 September is a cooler month though hurricanes sometimes make it windier in the Atlanta area. But that is not important right now. We participated in the Route 66 Special Event station where everyone was trying to make contact with all of the stations located on Route 66. It was a lot of fun. CLUB BYLAWS

WORKED ALL GEORGIA AWARDThe Atlanta Radio Club, with the support of the Georgia Section of the ARRL, is proud to support the "Worked All Georgia" Award. The WAG Award is open to radio amateurs who can provide proof of two-way radio amateur radio contact with all 159 counties in the state of Georgia. This award is nice complement to the annual Georgia QSO Party, which in fact would be a good time to work on some of those hard-to-get counties. The award is embodied in a nice certificate.
More information can be found here. NETSEvery Sunday night - 8:00 PM ET

The ARC helps operate the Atlanta Hamfestival and owns, operates or supports 11 repeaters around the metro area. In an average month, the club will hold a regular membership meeting, a tech/training session or operating outing, publish the Atlanta Ham newsletter, have 8 lunch outings and host over 20 nets via club repeaters.
