Fellow Hams, I have decided to postpone the next Thursday Night Net to March 25. Our meeting time conflicts on with the TX DX Society program indicated below, on Smith Charts, which I believe will be a terrific and very important program for hams to attend, and a program we wish to support. I know this Zoom program on the 18th will be excellent.
For those studying for their Extra Class Licenses, Smith Charts appear in at least 11 possible questions, and are important to understand. Understanding Smith Charts is important to getting the most of a NanoVNA antenna analyzer, which are suddenly so popular. Join us again on March 25 for the Simplex Net at its regular time, 7 pm, when we will meet up on the 146.940 repeater, and proceed to a simplex frequency at that time. A website is currently under development, along with procedures and relay staff. Our group will tentatively be called the Greater Houston Simplex Net. The aim of the GHSN is to establish and practice procedures to maintain ham communications during the worst of general communication losses. Please join us on the 25th. 73 Mark N5PRD Primary Net Control Greater Houston Simplex Net > On Mar 15, 2021, at 2:27 PM, Rick Hiller via BVARC <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Subject: [BVARC] TDXS March Meeting Featuring "The Smith Chart: an Overview" > by Robie Elms AJ4F > > THE TDXS MEETING AND PRESNTATION HAS NOT BEEN CANCELLED. > PRESENTATION ON THE SMITH CHART and ASSOCIATED TRANSMISSION LINE > FUNCTIONALITY SHOULD BE OF GREAT INTEREST TO ALL.....
