From matt at nj4y.radio Wed May 2 04:53:18 2018 From: matt at nj4y.radio (Matt - nj4y) Date: Wed, 2 May 2018 07:53:18 -0400 Subject: [LARC-CQ] >> New Meeting Location for May 7th << Message-ID: <009e3d27-2fc2-287e-b0b3-3636cba4d06a@nj4y.radio> Hi All, As you know, it?s been a year since we started meeting at our current facility. They have treated us well, and it?s been a great home for our growing club. However, as time has gone on the board has been considering other locations for a number of reasons. The club is growing, and we are expanding our activities - our meeting location needs have evolved. Several of our members belong to the Parkview Baptist Church, right down the street from our current meeting location. The board has visited Parkview, and feels that it would be an excellent fit for our club?s needs, with plenty of space, plenty of parking, and the ability to accommodate many of the activities that we?d like to do as a club. We just finalized the plans yesterday, so apologies for the short notice. Effective Monday, May 7th (our next general meeting), we will be meeting at: Parkview Baptist Church, 509 Parkview Pl, Lakeland, FL 33805. Bill will be posting some info to the blog, with parking instructions and directions. A big thanks to the board, and especially Bob, KM4BAO, for taking care of the on-site details of the move while I have been tied up with work during the past few weeks. 73 - Matt nj4y From matt at nj4y.radio Wed May 2 08:07:00 2018 From: matt at nj4y.radio (Matt - nj4y) Date: Wed, 2 May 2018 11:07:00 -0400 Subject: [LARC-CQ] Fwd: LARC IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

One was for a QRP operators group. I know we have several people (myself included) in the club who like portable and park operation, CW, qrp rigs, etc. I'd like to get a group going that can meet up once a month(?) at a convenient location (maybe a state or county park somewhere in Lakeland), bring radios, snacks, batteries, antennas, whatever you want and just generally hang out, play some radio, and have a good time! Nothing fancy, informal, just an excuse to get out and operate in the parks for an hour or two (or however long you want!). Let's figure out what works for everyone, and we will get this rolling. Several people have already signed up on the paper sheet, but I wanted to get the word out there for others who may be interested. I've created a sub-mailing list for qrp-ops. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, visit http://lists.lakelandarc.org/listinfo.cgi/qrp-ops-lakelandarc.org 73, -- - Matthew nj4y From matthew at mrstevens.net Wed May 9 13:23:05 2018 From: matthew at mrstevens.net (Matthew Stevens) Date: Wed, 9 May 2018 16:23:05 -0400 Subject: [LARC-CQ] kit building group Message-ID: <6355fa12-14e5-12f0-029d-14b3af2b2200@mrstevens.net> At the meeting the other night, I passed around a couple of sign up sheets for additional LARC activities. One was for a kit building group. Four people filled out their information showing an interest - KK4BMI, KK4ITX, AB4XK, and N4HCZ. This is something I have much less experience with than the other, qrp-ops group. What I am asking is twofold: 1) Are there other members besides those 4 who would be interested in forming an informal builders group? 2) Is there any one of you who is at least semi-experienced in building, and would be willing to spearhead an effort to help other people along and learn? What I had in mind doesn't have to be specifically radios, but maybe antennas, tuners, keyers, anything really. Maybe start off with something relatively simple and inexpensive, like the Rockmite http://qrpme.com/?p=product&id=RM4, or qrp-guys kits https://qrpguys.com/ This is something I would like to participate in myself! However, I do not have the experience with building or (more importantly) enough time to devote to leading and organizing the group properly. If someone volunteers to head it up, I am more than willing to help out in any way that I can, and I'm sure others would join in. One of the comments I hear often is that newer licensees don't always get the technical training that was once required to become a ham. Here is your chance to make a difference, and help newer guys (like me!) gain that kind of hands on experience. Any takers willing to be our kit-building elmer? 73, -- - Matthew nj4y From shrevemr at gmail.com Wed May 9 13:32:51 2018 From: shrevemr at gmail.com (Michael Shreve) Date: Wed, 9 May 2018 16:32:51 -0400 Subject: [LARC-CQ] CQ Digest, Vol 3, Issue 3 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1c7a352e-ea56-3fb0-2aba-b5abef710987@gmail.com> List members: Here is a link to a recent newsletter from the NAQCC FLORIDA CHAPTER: (general flavor of what Matt's talking about) https://wb4omm.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/member-news-march-2018-fl-chapter.pdf and a link to WB4OMM's club reports: https://wb4omm.com/naqcc-reports/ Enjoy.

Be sure to spot yourself on QRPSpots (http://www.qrpspots.com/).? If you?need to use 1,200 watts go ahead just don't report it as QRP but the QRPer can count the QSO for his report.
