February 2021 Club Meeting:
Speaker: Jeff Ryan KØRM, Director, Rocky Mountain Division, ARRL 
Topic: Current state of affairs in Amateur Radio, the ARRL, and the FCC. Hear what’s happening in the Rocky Mountain Division.

The presentation at the January meeting: Log Confirmations – How to get onto Logbook of the World (LoTW), how to upload logs to LoTW, how to use QSL cards, how the bureau works, how to submit logs to SOTA and POTA and how to get that coveted DX QSL card/LoTW confirmation by using Club Log.

Greg, W0GAS, moderates a panel discussion on logging software. Why you should log, how to pick a logging application, & how they work. After you start logging you can easily export your contacts to contest and award verification sites. We’ve assemble a panel to discuss the some of the numerous logging apps.

For the W0TLM November 2020 Club Meeting, Bob, KØNR, moderates a panel discussion with club members, Chip, KØCHP (mobile antennas), Steve, WGØAT,  (Portable/SOTA), and Al, WBØTGE (2M/70CM antenna design)

Loren, KE0HZ and Barry, KD0RQU, present on two Ham Radio based linux builds for the Raspberry Pi.  The two builds HamPi and Build a PI are built by fellow ham radio operators and provide a consolidated package of some of the most popular linux based ham radio software, everything from rig control like FLDIGI to APRS.  Join them for a quick run down on the packages, features and benefits.

Tim K4RA presents VHF/UHF digital modes. This presentation covers the basics of D-STAR, DMR, and C4FM/System Fusion. It's a broad overview (i.e., an inch deep and a mile wide) discussing the pluses and minuses of each format without getting into the weeds of how to program the different types of radios (each is different). He also explains how we connect the different digital formats together with a Mega site and how hot spots are used. This presentation helps members evaluate which digital radio will help them get on the air.

Rob Steenburgh is a Space Scientist at the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center https://www.linkedin.com/in/robsteenburgh/ Even for non-HAMs this may be useful and interesting.

Our Very Own Chip Fleming presents a 'recommended' tool kit that is beneficial for every HAM, new or old. This is the kind of stuff Chip likes and is well versed in--he is always looking for a new gadget, so he knows his stuff.

This is a practical guide for any level of HAM, with advice on what to buy, where to buy it, and what to expect to pay for it. 

FM SATELLITES THE WHERE TO’S, HOW FOR’S AND WHAT NOT’S by Ron Bondy, Ron Bondy, AD0DX

Loren (KEØHZ) presents "HamSci". Which stands for "HAM Radio Science Citizen Investigation." Hear how amateur radio operators are supporting scientific endeavors by participating in HamSCI. Ham’s are uniquely capable of providing and, in some cases, analyzing data in support of academic research underway to help characterize and predict something near and dear to any Ham – radio propagation.

Chip presents on the NANO Vector Network Analyzer as a tool for the ham tool kit.

We have one in the club inventory to borrow, once we start in-person meetings again.
