Kit Building and Homebrewing
Our February meeting topic will be kit building and homebrewing. We will be looking at the basics of building equipment and accessories for the ham shack. Several options for a club kit build project will be explored. If you're interested in building a kit, we will have a follow-up build-it / test-it workshop in April or May.
Radio Central Amateur Radio Club meetings are open to non-members as well as members. Anyone interested in Amateur Radio or wireless history is welcome to attend.
Our 2012 General Meetings will be at the Middle Country Public Library in Centereach. You can get directions to the Middle Country Public Library here.
Radio Central Amateur Radio Club hosts a weekly club information and rag chew net that meets Tuesday nights at 8:00 PM on the Radio Central Amateur Radio Club repeater. The purpose of the net is to further the general knowledge of the local ham community, to bring local hams together through the use of the Radio Central club repeater, and to talk about any subject that is of interest to the group. All licensed hams, club members and non members alike, are welcome to check in and join the group.
We had a turnout of five hearty Radio Central members for an enjoyable club outing touring the old RCA property in Rocky Point. Dick, K2RFP, was our tour guide. Weather was ideal and everyone survived the six mile hike nicely. We took a bunch of photos and plan to create a presentation for a future club meeting. Here are a couple of photos we took Saturday.
