“Winter Improvements in Your Shack”.  The Amateur Radio Caravan Club was honored to have our New Mexico ARRL Section Manager Bill Mader, K8TE, at its Friday, November 8th meeting, to discuss “Winter Improvements in Your Shack”.  As always, Bill’s talk was full of good information.  He included subtopics:

  • Where to Start—Your Needs?

  • Best Bang for the Buck--Antennas

  • Budgeting is Important (to me)

  • Freebies—or “A Ham’s Dream”

  • Measuring Improvements

For those who missed the meeting or who would like to review the slides, his presentation may be found under the “Presentations” tab.
