We are pleased to announce that Douglas Bruce Millar, (I’m not kidding!) K6JEY, will be our Guest Speaker via Zoom and he will give a presentation entitled “Test Equipment for Hams, including Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) Explained”
Doug got his novice ticket in 1957. He has always liked VHF and up. He has EME stations on 2m, 70cm and 23cm. He also has microwave stations on 10, 24, 47 and 79GHz with a station for 140GHz half completed.
Doug enjoys HF DXing and especially boat anchors and HF AM. He usually checks in to the AMI West Coast net on Wednesdays at 8PM, on 3870KHz. The picture below is of Doug’s usual operating position. He normally uses the R4 C and the Ranger with the KPA500 amp for AM.
Please join us on April 3, 2024, live at the Church, or via Zoom for a presentation that I believe will be informative and relevant to our membership.
We will announce the link to join the Zoom meeting before the meeting, but it will be posted to the BARS email list and should not be shared outside our Club. Are you on the email list? If not, please send an email to bars-subscribe@w1hh.org and then simply reply to the robot response from the server and you will be subscribed.
Observing our Zoom meeting requires only a web browser and headphones/speakers. You do not need a webcam or microphone unless you want to speak or be seen.
Before our meeting date, please go to https://zoom.us/test and see if it will function for you. If you have problems, we can try to assist – feel free to ask questions on the BARS email list.
I am looking forward to “seeing” many of you on Wednesday 4/3 here at 1900.
Doug, N1WRN
President, Billerica Amateur Radio Society
