Welcome to CNHARC

CNHARC March meting is ON!    Tuesday, March 11th, 2025 in Meredith

The meeting was touch and go for a short while because the presenter had to make an unexpected trip to Mass General (he’s OK).  So we now have an excellent Plan-B!

Part-1:  Field Day plans  Rich Kumpf, WF1V will  introduce our first looks at Field Day 2025 with pictures.

• A totally new location with trees to hang antennas, level ground, easy access and plenty of parking.
• But wait… there’s more!  How about no more tents by using an enclosed facility complete with flush toilets and a commercial kitchen.  In fact, the facility already has an HF station installed.
• Off grid power will be supplied.
• A group discussion about using club-provided radios, BYOR (bring your own radio) or some hybrid combination of both

Part-2: The club will be starting a DMR special interest group.  DMR offers some great capabilities but programming your first radio and understanding the networking system can be a daunting task.  Rich Kumpf, WF1V will be polling the attendees on how to start the group.

Part-3: The main event.   Spencer Webb, W2SW is an MIT graduate who designs antenna systems as a consulting service for a living.  He has been known to design custom antennas for ham radio use but his presentation will go into antenna theory  and good antenna design in general.    https://www.antennasys.com/design-gallery/design-examples

Member socializing and dinner pre-meeting.  5PM at Giuseppe’s in Meredith.

Meeting following at 6:30PM at the Meredith Public Library
