Lincoln Electric Systems will be out to do a presentation and demonstration on power safety. Their presentation is always informative and entertaining. I understand some pickles will be part of the demonstration.
Bring your friends and family. Power safety is something all of us need to remember

Dayton Hamvention: 2022 Overview
Joe Eisenberg, KØNEB, will present on Dayton Hamvention: Reunion 1952 – 2022. After two years of being shut down due to COVID, Hamvention was back, and it was a great success! You won’t want to miss this update!
Dayton Hamvention is sponsored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association and is the largest Amateur Radio gathering in the world.
In-person only. Zoom has been discontinued pending that COVID counts remain low in Lancaster County.
Upgrading from the Technician class to the General class may begin and end with a test, but the challenges of becoming a good HF operator are just beginning! Learning new modes, equipment, and operating procedures can seem overwhelming.
Greg Brown, KTØK, will present a basic introduction to setting up your first station, the proper adjustment and use of HF equipment, and operating procedures to make your transition more enjoyable. There will also be a few tips to help long-time HF operators hone their skills.
In-person: LARC Clubhouse (NEW ADDRESS: 4420 NW 41st St., Lincoln).
Zoom: bit.ly/LARCProgram (meeting: 937 5139 3405; Passcode: 554816).
We will continue learning the basics of soldering. It is common for Amateur Radio operators to work with “breadboards” and do a type of soldering called “through-hole.” This is a fundamental skill that every Ham should have.
LARC will provide switches, resistors, LEDs, breadboards, battery connectors, wire, and soldering stations. You get to put it all together into a finished product that will display your new skills. Please bring a 9-volt battery or $1.00 to purchase one from the club. This is a fun project that should not take long to complete.
From time-to-time, members have asked me whether the club has considered changing the monthly meeting start time from 7:30 pm to 7:00 pm. At the February Board meeting, the topic was raised for discussion. The consensus was that we need to know what the membership thinks and if moving up the club meeting time a half-hour makes sense. So, please take a moment and fill out the form at forms.gle/2aVW5cTPxx5NS2SS9 and share your thoughts, I’d greatly appreciate it.
