For the March 12 LARC meeting, I plan to give a presentation on my antenna design work at Hy-Gain from 1976 through about 2001. This will include a short history of Hy-Gain as well as how antenna design evolved from trial and error to computer-aided design. My designs include the Explorer-14, TH7DX, TH11DX, V2, V3, V4, 205CA, 155CA, 105CA, 215DX, 7031DX and many others.
The annual SKYWARN training and certification will be held on Saturday, April
5th, 2025, at the LARC Clubhouse at 4420 NW 41 Street.
Schedule:
The online courses “Role of the SKYWARN Spotter” and “Spotter Convective Basics”
are required for all new spotters. Be sure to add Ed Holloway, KØRPT, as your instructor to have your completion certificates emailed to me.
Retaking the courses each year is not required if I have your certificates; however,
I highly recommend retaking them as a refresher. The course links can be found in the
right-hand column on the NeARES.net website. Please complete or update your ARES
Membership at https://neares.org/get-involved/
We continue to issue Lancaster County Emergency Management ID Cards and will
take photos on training day. Please bring your driver’s license as you complete your
registration. Your data will be stored securely.
The 2025 storm spotter packets are being updated and will be emailed to all
credentialed spotters in Lancaster County who have completed the ARES registration
and ID card processes.

Join us in January for a brief introduction to SSTV. We’ll be taking a dive into SSTV to see what it is, how it came to be, and what you can do with it. I hope to help answer some questions on what, where, and when. SSTV can be a fun way to send your favorite picture to your ham radio buddy, and make a few QSO’s at the same time.
