Hi guys, If your interested in taking your Technician, General or Extra tests, we will be giving the exams this Saturday.
>From the ARRL.org web site: Smyrna TN 37167-6810 EXAM SESSION 01/14/2017 Sponsor: Stones River ARC Date: Jan 14 2017 Time: 10:00 AM (Walk-ins allowed) Contact: David R. Wilson (615) 579-3177 Email: da...@wwns.com VEC: ARRL/VEC Location: StoneCrest Medical Center 200 Stonecrest Blvd Main meeting room to right of hospital's main entrance Smyrna TN 37167-6810 There is a lot of training material on the web. My list is at: http://wwns.com/wwns/staff/david/private/ham_radio/training.html It is very possible with a few hours studying to pass the Technician and General test. We have had several people go from no license to Extra in one exam session. If your interested in taking any of the tests I advise bringing $30, so if your close to passing and want to take a test again you might be able to. Also bring something for an ID. A Drivers License works. There is a lot of interesting things that are going on. Some of those I have my finger into are: Mesh Networking http://www.aredn.org/ http://usercontent.aredn.org/K/5/K5DLQ/livemap.html A number of repeaters. This is one of our local projects: http://mtears.org/ Software Defined Radio: https://apache-labs.com/al-products/1027/ANAN-100D-HF---6M-100W-All-Mod e-SDR-Transceiver.html As you can see if you look at that site my hardware is already a bit dated. The software I have been using is still being developed: http://napan.ca/ghpsdr3/index.php/Main_Page I have not done much with this project, but AMSAT is working on a geostationary satellite that will be SDR based. They are looking for people to participate both from the software and hardware development end of the project: http://www.amsat.org/?p=4945 Something I worked on over the Christmas holidays was integrating the Yaesu FT-991, fldigi and cqrlog. This was a start, but left a lot of holes in the instructions: https://www.hb9fxq.ch/index.php/2015/08/23/first-experiments-with-the-y aesu-ft-991on-linux/ My notes on the effort: http://wwns.com/fldigi_FT-991_debugging/ I know it is an abuse of HTML, but should work. And if your looking for a long list of links as to some of the stuff these guys do: http://wwns.com/wwns/staff/david/private/ham_radio/ Any questions don't hesitate to call or email.
