Andy Keels, KD4ABB Date: Thursday, April 7, 2022 Time: 7:00 PM ET Location: ZOOM Videoconference Video: https://youtu.be/Y87fsuktlsg Slides:: Forthcoming Our April meeting featured Andy Keels, KD4ABB. His presentation was titled "Stealth Antennas". It was excellent. -Do you live in a subdivision or condominium where your HOA doesn't allow antennas to be erected? Do you live with someone who doesn't appreciate the aesthetic value of antennas like we do? Do you operate in parks or other places outdoors where antennas are discouraged? If so, our April program will be just what you're looking for. Andy Keels, PE, KD4ABB will be talking about Stealth Antennas, antennas designed to work well but be unnoticed. The PE after Andy's name indicates that he's a registered professional engineer so we can be assured he knows what he's talking about. Satellite TV antenna bans were preempted in 1996 but there are no such protections for amateur radio antennas. The ARRL has been trying for 10+ years to get federal legislation passed, but they have been unsuccessful.

SISTER Club - Geelong Amateur Radio Club - VK3ATLDid you know the Atlanta Radio Club has a sister club?
In 2010, Dallas Jones (VK3DJ) from Drysdale, Victoria in Australia visited the United States to meet some friends he met on the air.
