DSRC May Meeting

Third Tuesday means DSRC Meeting! More details later, but I know we’ll talk about Field Day, and maybe other operating events coming up.

Once tuning an antenna was a lot of guesswork, with paper plotting
of SWR and fiddling with matching sections.  Now with a NanoVNA you
can see the match, and watch as you tune up an antenna… across
the band! If you have a NanoVNA, please bring it!

Once sending email via VARA HF Winlink required using the current
solar flux index to calculate a radio propagation model, then select
an HF RMS node from a list, and hope that it works. Now the new
Winlink Real-Time HF Connection Monitor application allows one to
view a live map display of active HF Winlink sessions worldwide,
including ones initiated by stations near you.

We added some meeting notes in a Blog Post HERE including lots of links.
