Antenna Build this weekend July 16th Join us this weekend for a good old fashioned antenna build!
RSVP to [email protected] so that we have enough material on hand
Bill Perkins KB4KFT will walk us through the simple math and science of a wire dipole dipole. Participants can build a 20M or 40M version, Techs may opt for the 10M if they like. All materials are provided, just let us know you are coming so that we can have enough materials on hand for everyone. Great opportunity to learn how to plan, measure, construct, and test any simple wire antenna with confidence
We will also have some radios and antennas set up for us to play with and use to test our newly built antennas.
Even if you don't have an interest in building an antenna, consider joining us for some fellowship. It's a great time to meet folks and ask those burning questions you might have about what radio to purchase, best HT, or how to set up a mobile installation, etc.
When: Sunday July 16th 1P(build start time)
Where: Brook Run Park Dunwoody GA 4770 North Peachtree Rd (map attached)
