A New Ham
Congratulations to Robert Baltos, KC3KST after successfully passing his Technician's Grade License Exam.
3D Printing Presentation
Our main speaker for the evening was Bob Doherty who did a fine job explaining and even demonstrating 3D printing to the group. One of LARC's pillars is Education. We are fortunate to have many members with diverse backgrounds and willing to share their knowledge.
 |
| Prep before the meeting which included a live demonstration of 3D printing. |
This key is one of the many ways 3D printing can be put to use.The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
 |
| An example of what is possible with 3D printing. The above is a working straight key. |
 |
| Bob presenting 3D Printing Technology |
Once again Bob did an outstanding job with his treatment of 3D
printing. Maybe not radio per se, but then again creativity is bringing
together technologies from many fields to solve a problem in an
innovative way. It is said that after trying a hundred different
filiment materials for his electric light, the solution was
finally found in his wife's sewing basket. Thread, which when carbonized,
did the trick. Focus is good, but sometimes defocusing is even better.
Let your mind wander.Stay open to new ideas, and new tools.
 |
| Captivated audience. |

By my count there were 38 members signed in, 10 ham guests, and at least 3 wives and children bringing the total attendance to well over fifty.
