Pre-Meeting- Whole Foods!
2025-04-15 18:00 - 19:00
Before our monthly meeting, those who want to chat over food gather at one of our local food courts… or, in warmer weather, tailgate in the parking lot.

April being unpredictable, we have decided to meet at Whole Foods Market in West Windsor, though they call themselves “Princeton” (website link below, or https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/princeton ) They are on the southbound side of US1, just south of Meadow Road.

All are invited to join an informal pre-meeting dinner at Whole FoodsMarket in the Windsor Green shopping center on US 1 South of Meadow Rdany time after 6:00 PM. They have a hot bar, salad bar, and cafeseating. Afterwards you can travel to the DSRC meeting via CanalPointe Blvd without using US 1.https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/princeton#store-eateries-and-bars

In May if the weather isn’t rainy … bring food and show-and-tell items to the Red Cross parking lot for tailgating and conversation.

If you haven’t done your taxes…

DSRC May Meeting
2025-05-20 19:30 - 21:30 | American Red Cross, 707 Alexander Road, Suite 101, Princeton, NJ 08540.
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 plottingof SWR and fiddling with matching sections. Now with a NanoVNA youcan see the match, and watch as you tune up an antenna… acrossthe band! If you have a NanoVNA, please bring it!Once sending email via VARA HF Winlink required using the currentsolar flux index to calculate a radio propagation model, then selectan HF RMS node from a list, and hope that it works. Now the newWinlink Real-Time HF Connection Monitor application allows one toview 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.
