Our January meeting will feature a look at DTV.
Joe, N1DMP will join us. He is the Chief Engineer for Channel 3 in Burlington,
VT. Many of you have seen their transmission facilities atop Mt. Mansfield.
Peering even further ahead, Tom, WA1MBA will update us on his work on a 78 GHz
amplifier. Tom did a presentation at MUD which showed some real progress.
Hopefully we’ll hear about the near completed design phase!
We’re still looking for volunteers to work on the committee to solicit prizes
from vendors for our Saturday night banquet for our April Conference.
As I write this, I’ve had one inquiry, but no takers.
Please consider helping with this important task.
There was a discussion among several of us at MUD about putting together
a “build session” for the “Simple 10 MHz GPS Stabilized Oscillator”.
There appear to be folks that have maybe some, but not all of the parts.
Plus there are folks that have everything, but have had no time to
assemble the unit. The thought was to have a session where the PLL boards
could be assembled. We might even put together a group buy of parts for
those that are missing pieces. If you’re interested, let me know.
