November Club Meeting

Posted on by

Band Pass Band Reject Duplexers

Location: LARC Clubhouse (4420 NW 41st St, Lincoln)
Date: November 12, 7:30 PM
Presentation by: Michael Ruhrdanz, NØFER

We have a treat for you in November! Michael Ruhrdanz, NØFER, has graciously agreed to give a presentation covering Band-Pass Band-Reject duplexers. This is a very needed piece of equipment when your repeater only has one antenna. However, Michael will show you the needs of building a repeater with and without a duplexer. I’ve heard several conversations and at least one of Paul’s, KF9TV’s, questions during the Lunch Bunch net on KØKKV/R regarding the “Q” and found this to be a great way to show you how to tune a set of duplexers. This will be a great one!

Jim Nelson, WØJRN, graciously agreed to give us a presentation based upon antennas and bonding. He will tell us what antennas may be the best and some that may not be. I’m told that he gave this presentation to the BARC club and it was AWESOME. Come with questions as Jim will likely have the answers you need. See you at the club meeting!

August Club Meeting

Lincoln Emergency Communications Center

Location: LARC Clubhouse (4420 NW 41st St, Lincoln)
Date: August 13, 7:30 PM
Presentation by: Matthew Harwell, ENP

Handling over 400,000 combined emergency and non-emergency calls a year, the Lincoln Emergency Communications Center (LECC) serves Lincoln and Lancaster County. It is where the emergency response process begins. Decisions must be made quickly and correctly; sending the wrong response may result in serious injury, extensive property damage, or even someone’s death.

Join me as I give an insider’s view of the LECC, where we strive to send the right response every time, all the time.

I will also discuss some additional aspects, such as the public safety radio system, managed by the team at the Radio Shop, along with some of our partners, including the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline!

Learn about the work our dedicated emergency communications team does each and every day, and the service they provide to the city of Lincoln and Lancaster County. Bring your questions!
