We have planned a QSY Field Trip to the USS Slater for Saturday, September 17, 2011.  Tour will begin at 11 a.m. and include a complete 1 hour and 15 minute tour of the ship.  In addition we will get a personalized tour of Radio Central and associated radio spaces conducted by one of the Slater ham volunteers.  The tour will include the rare and recently restored RCA TBL-8 transmitter.   Cost for this activity is $6.00 per person.  You may either make your own travel arrangements and meet us there at 11:00 a.m. for the tour – or – we can decide on a convenient meeting place and carpool to the Port of Albany.
AT THIS TIME I NEED AN APPROXIMATE HEADCOUNT.  IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE EMAIL ME AT sjl219@optonline.net and tell me how many in your party.

Thanks and 73,

This is the Ventenna HFp portable vertical antenna.  It can be configured for 80 through 6 meter use.  It comes in this 20 inch bag and everything fits nicely with room to spare.  View a video of the HFp in use in my backyard, surrounded by trees and structures.  More info is available at http://www.ventenna.com .

If time permits at this evenings meeting I will show how to use the MFJ259B to evaluate coax cables. You will learn what it can and cannot do.

If you have any coax cables that you think are bad, bring them and we will test them.
