Despite the weather, we had over 20 people show up for the training on K3, N1MM and FT8. We were able to get a hotspot to work inside the building and do live demos of the K3 and N1MM. Some of the attendees got to call CQ on CW and SSB on the remote. Bill Cordell gave a very nice and detailed presentation on FT8 and FT4 with live connection to his remote site. Seeing the live demo of FT8 was fascinating to me since I have never used this modality before. Unlike CW operation, you have enough time between contacts to get a cup of coffee without missing anything!
Since several people missed these presentations due to bad weather, Mike Hardwick has agreed to add these presentations to the June meeting program. The K3 and N1MM presentations will be made by Curt Fletcher. The meeting agenda also includes a presentation by Rick Hiller on FD antennas. Nizar K0NM
