April 2022

Stealth Antennas
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.

WORKED ALL GEORGIA AWARD

The 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.

CLUB HISTORY

The Atlanta Radio Club (ARC) was founded in March 1911. It is believed to be the longest continually operating club in Georgia (Georgia Tech was founded earlier). With over 100 members, ARC activities include meetings, operating events, training sessions, membership outings, and community service activities in Metro-Atlanta.

​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.

SISTER Club - Geelong Amateur Radio Club - VK3ATL

Did 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. "During his travels, he visited the Atlanta Radio Club and from all accounts had a great time with the guys."
