The control panel runs on both my Win 10 and IPad....... yes, it does have a learning curve but it is worth taking the time. Some of the Modes: AM, LSB, USB, CW, FAX, WSPR, FM. Many have a decoder. Lots of controls, slides and buttons to try out........ if you get lost or mess up simply reload SDR.hu and try again. I have used other SDR sites and have a receiver also, this one is the best so far. John KK4ITX If you need a parachute and don't have one you probably won't need one again.

Geoff Shuck 2. Jim Stewart 3. Glenn Culler 4. Rich Kennedy 5. Matthew Stevens 6. Mike Oliver 7. Bill Johnson 8. David Zdanowicz At the October meeting members will have the opportunity to nominate additional candidates. Names must be submitted to Chairperson Aimee before October 18th. She will make this clear in her presentation at the October meeting. One position remains open, that of Secretary. This is a very important function. I say this, not because I have served as secretary for the last six years, but because of what the secretary?s function brings to the club. According to our bylaws: *The Secretary* shall keep a record of all meetings of the club and the Board and of all meetings of which a record shall be ordered by the club. He (She) shall have charge of the correspondence, notify members of meetings, notify new members of their membership in the club, keep a roll of members of the club with their addresses and carry out such other duties as are prescribed in these By-Laws. *Quoting** Woody Allen, "80 percent of success is just showing up" * *There is a lot of truth in this statement. **The secretary has to show up at both general as well as board meetings. At the general meeting to manage the club?s projector, and get copies of the presenter?s talk, if available, to publish on the club?s website. At board meetings, t**o take** notes, and summarize discussions in bullet form for later publishing to the membership. **In a real sense, the secretary is the voice of the board, and the information channel to the general membership. * *Most of you know that I publish the club?s blog. This is **not** the secretary?s responsibility. **Relax, the secretary only needs to keep t**he Blogmaster** informed of upcoming events so they can be put on the blog. * *As secretary you will have to deal with name badges. This involves getting the name and call sign o**f** new members from the Treasurer, and emailing them to a vendor. * *As secretary you will visit the club?s PO Box on a regular basis to collect the mail. * *As secretary you will maintain and archive club records. These are currently organized by year in four plastic hanging folder tubs. * *To summarize, t**he minimum s**kill set **required **to perform as secretary includes basic computer skills like creating documents, and sending emails. **The need to take notes and summarize them in written form **was already mentioned**. **I**f not familiar with uploading files, the candidate for secretary m**ust** be willing to learn how to perform this task. **You will need a computer, and most likely have to download **and install **some free software to accomplish this. **Help **will be provided **during the transition period. * *If after reading this, you think this might be a way for you to both contribute as well as give back to the club, please contact either Aimee or myself. If you **think, maybe, but **are unsure, I will b**e happy to** w* *alk** you through the procedures before you commit. * *Bill Johnson Secretary* Virus-free. www.avg.com <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
