Picture Perfect Day for LPD Open House
As in the past years, LARC was there to support the LPD Open House. The day started with some rain, but that didn't dampen anyone's spirit. At the end of the rainbow there was a silver lining.

J-Pole Project
J-Pole project
Rich mentioned the J-pole project at the last meeting. The
design we will use is the Arrow 2 meter 70 cm dual band J-pole. I have used one
of these for years, and found it to be a great performer.
You can find full instructions along with performance data
for this antenna at:

Arrow sells this antenna for $49 dollars, ready to assemble. We think we can put together a package for club members costing less than half that amount.

All the cutting, drilling, threading and tapping will be
done for you. All you will have to do is assemble the pieces. Of course you
will want to check your work before taking it home. There will be someone with
an antenna analyzer at the meeting to help you with this.
Here is a photo of the base. Note, the element to the right
is quite tall, 57 inches, and only a portion is shown.
We will have to purchase aluminum stock well in advance, and
have lead-time to do the cutting, drilling, tapping, and threading that needs
to be done to make your assembly easy. So, if you are interested, you must let
me know who you are ahead of time.
October's Meeting Was A Success
Dr. Bob Chapman gave an enthusiastic lecture on the subject of Savantism to a packed house of members and guests. All toll, there were forty-nine attendees. Though the subject did not involve radio, it clearly was of general interest to the group.
Our October Speaker, Dr. Bob Chapman with Al, W4ZSC, chatting about his topic, “Savants”.
Congratulations - Job Well Done! The world now has four new Techs, and one, soon to be be reinstated, General. Five candidates took tests, and all five passed. Congratulations to all. You deserve a break, after all the hard work that goes into preparing for the exams.
