Our next club meeting will be on Wednesday Oct 16, 2024 at 7 p.m. and will be a Face to Face, in person only meeting. No virtual meeting. I am aware that many members want in person meetings, like we did prior to COVID, and other members prefer to continue with virtual meetings. In an attempt to please both sides of the fence, we will be holding some meetings in person and the majority of the meetings virtually. The upcoming meeting will be similar to our popular DRC Saturday meetings with an instructed hands-on project. See the information below for details about the meeting:
Anderson Power Pole presentation and workshop
Mark Thomas, N0XRX, will be presenting Anderson Power Pole connectors and wire. The presentation will cover the correct way to install the connectors and proper size for your application. The presentation will be followed by a demonstration that will conclude with the audience participation in building their own Anderson Power Pole power jumper wires that they can take home.
All tools and parts needed will be provided but if you have your own tools please bring them to the workshop. Elmers will be assisting in the build session and answer questions or be an extra set of hands if needed.
ARRL ARES has standardized on this type of power distribution and is a requirement to be able to demonstrate the ability to build this type of cable. But even if you don’t participate in the public service side of the hobby, this skill would be useful as well.
Meeting location is: Lakewood Police Department. 445 S. Allison Parkway.
