I kept the frequency on for an hour -- and about 6:30 p.m. I heard 2 voices (male and female) -- loud and clear for about 5 seconds when I was in a room away from my radio!

On Saturday March 22, 2025 GHRC will be having a Solder Saturday event from 1-3pm.? The event will kick off with a brief tutorial/refresher on how to solder.? We have come up with 2 projects our members can build.
1). 4 MHz Offset Attenuator for use with a tape measure antenna for future fox hunts.? Cost to build is $15 for the parts.? Cost includes small box, circuit board, and parts to solder on the circuit board to complete the project.
2). 4 position Antenna Switch.? Cost to build is $66 for the parts.? Cost includes box and 20' of control wire.? If less control wire is needed, adjustments to cost can be calculated.? Control wire is $0.50/foot.
?
Eric does have 4 soldering irons for use but if you have one in your tool chest-bring it.? We also have a big magnifier and Eric picked up a couple other magnifiers for use.? I would recommend if you have any tools that will help you to build the project-bring it along.?
?
Please respond to this email thread to reserve your project build and so I can order enough parts and pieces for both builds.? Hope to see you all at Solder Saturday!

Thank you,

Re: Solder Saturday details
I would like to build an offset attenuator.? If you have a parts kit left for a tape measure antenna I would take one of those also.

Does anyone have a dummy load that I could borrow that is greater than 500 watts?? I need to do some calibration with my new amplifier and the manual states to do the test connected to a dummy load.? The one I have only goes to 300 watts.?

Re: March 6, 2025 GHRC Monthly Meeting
Hi Ronnie,
Since the last meeting was cut short for presentation time. This month I was planning on talking about the Montana law that changed in regard to HOAs and antennas and also give you the opportunity to share your experience that you have had with your HOA.
