B.A.R.A. Oct. 1st – “Fox Hunt”

By Rolf KrogstadSeptember 26, 2024Club Meetings, Uncategorizedmeeting

The October meeting of B.A.R.A is Tuesday, October 1st. We will start the meeting with a hidden transmitter hunt, aka a Fox Hunt. Bring a 2 meter FM radio. While a small directional antenna is preferred, a rubber duck antenna can also be used.

Meetings are normally the first Tuesday of the month at 7pm in the Haeg Conference Room on the 2nd floor of Bloomington Civic Plaza (south end).

The November meeting will be on Tuesday, November 12th.
Note: The November meeting is always on the 2nd Tuesday of the month because election staff takes over the conference room on the first Tuesday.

See you at the meeting!

Roger has graciously made his antenna modeling slides available.
