February Club Meeting

Posted on by

High Voltage Conductors

In-person only: LARC Clubhouse (4420 NW 41st St, Lincoln)

The February meeting will have a presentation on high voltage conductors by John Huseman, WDØEZI. This presentation will cover overhead and underground power distribution. We all like to put up antennas and towers. Have you ever noticed the high voltage conductors in your yard? Do you know where the underground conductors are? The presentation will discuss the National Electrical Safety Code, not the National Electrical Code. There will be videos of high voltage faults and pictures of skin damage from electric shock. The Amplitude magazine of July / August 2018 will be passed around. You will read about Eduardo Garcia who lost his left arm to electric shock from a faulted underground high voltage line.

10 Meters – Cycle 25 Brings the Band Back to Life

In-person only: LARC Clubhouse (4420 NW 41st St, Lincoln)

For those who earned their ham licenses less than eve or ten years ago, the 10 Meter band (28 MHz) probably seems like a deserted wasteland. But, at least during sunspot maximums, 10 Meters is truly a magic band capable of providing exciting worldwide communications for even the most modest stations, and we are currently approaching the maximum for sunspot Cycle 25. That’s great news! More good news, Technician Class hams have nearly full privileges on 10 Meters including voice, CW, and digital modes! This month’s program will highlight what you need to know to fully enjoy “working the world” on 10 Meters, including some historical perspectives, propagation types, equipment, and operating tips. Don’t let the magic of HF radio pass you by! If you miss Cycle 25, you’ll have to wait another 11 years for Cycle 26 (at least for 10 Meters!)…
