The March PART meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, beginning at 7:30 PM at the Cameron Senior Center, 20 Pleasant Street, Westford, MA, and via Webex video conference. For those attending via video conference, a meeting link is below; just click on the green button to join in. You can join the conference any time after 7:00 PM to check out your gear or just rag chew until the meeting starts. Bear in mind that internet connectivity from the senior center may be unreliable.Our guest speaker for the meeting is Tom Schiller, N6BT, who will be connecting via video conference from Arizona. Tom is the founder of Force-12 Antennas (now part of JK Antennas), and his topic is “Will it work?”, which describes looking at antenna design and components to see if the antenna will be efficient and, therefore, effective for us. There is a look at the construction and components of the fairly new Big Kansas Coil, plus other YouTube tests and two tests using our drones on a Buddi-Pole. There are also some suggestions along the way on magnetic loops.
All attendees are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food for the Westford Food Pantry.
See you Tuesday!
73,
George, K1IG
