March Club Meeting – Mark your calendars for THURSDAY

Dinner Meetup Time: 5:30pm – Giuseppe’s Pizza Ristorante, Meredith, NH

Meeting Time: 7:00 pm at the Meredith Public Library, 91 Main Street, Meredith, NH

Topic:  “Not your Dad’s HF Radio”
Mike Walker, VA3MW, is known for his frank contributions to the Ham Radio Workbench Podcast.   Mike is also the marketing manager for Flex Radio. He will be joining us via Zoom and discussing his favorite transceivers and modes Flex & Non-Flex alike.

Overview

Not Your Dad’s HF Radio explores how modern direct-sampling Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology has reshaped HF operating after nearly 100 years of superheterodyne design. Today’s radios deliver quieter receivers, higher dynamic range, cleaner signals, and powerful DSP features that simply weren’t possible in traditional analog architectures. Most HF new radios are now built using some form of SDR technology.  Why?

The presentation shows how HF has evolved from single-desk, hardware-centric stations into flexible, networked systems that support remote operation, digital modes, multi-slice receivers, and seamless station integration. The key takeaway: HF radio is not fading away—it’s modernizing, and it looks very different from what many of us grew up with.

Bio
Mike was licensed in 1974 and has always loved technology.  His first ‘real’ job with IBM working on an actual Tube computer that had 64,000 tubes in NORAD that was 600ft underground at the height of the cold war.

From Repeaters, HF, HF Contesting, Satellites, and starting is currently tinkering in EME digital modes and 10Ghz microwave.  As well as being a GA Pilot, he loves HF Station integration, and remote HF operation and currently represents FlexRadio Systems with the Marketing and Education team.  He is very well-versed in FlexRadio technology.  Technology is truly his hobby.
