[KB6NU] QSLs: W5TEN, KF0IN
KB6NU's Ham Radio Blog /////////////////////////////////////////// QSLs: W5TEN, KF0IN Posted: 02 Dec 2020 07:52 AM PST http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/kb6nu...m_medium=email Both of these cards arrived yesterday! The QSO with John, KF0IN, was on the short side due to poor conditions, but I had a nice long chat with Wade, W5TEN. Theyre both great additions to my collection of QSLs from stations whose call signs spell words.

We havent really come up with a snappy name for this program, so Im just calling it Helping New Hams. The idea is to organize instructors all over the country and spread out the work. That way, the onus doesnt fall on one or two instructors in a club who may already be up to their necks in teaching exam classes. Were focusing really basic topics at first, including: Having fun with amateur radio: an overview of all the fun things that you can do inÂ* amateur radioand what kind of gear youll need to participate in them. Choosing a first (or second) radio Programming a VHF/UHF radio using Chirp Improved antennas for handheld transceivers (telescopic whips, mobile, roll-up j-pole, …) Getting on the air (VHF repeater and simplex) Im going to be presenting a couple of trial runs of Having fun with amateur radiovia Zoom, of courseon Friday, December 4, at 7:00 pm EST and on Monday, December 7, at 9:00 pm EST. Id like to invite any and all of you to attend. To get the Zoom meeting info, send me your email address, and Ill send you the Zoom meeting info before the session. If you want more information about what Ill be talking about, you can download the session outline. Finally, if youre an instructor and you think that you might like to be part of this effort, you can subscribe to our mailing list by going to https://ham-instructor.groups.io/g/NewHams. Im planning on holding a second organizational meeting on Tuesday, December 8. The post Helping New Hams program getting started appeared first on KB6NUs Ham Radio Blog. |
