Apologies for the repeat email! I've removed the no-longer-available QSL cards, as well as further details for the general meeting tomorrow.
Complete Your Antenna!
If you started building a 2 meter Direction Finding antenna back at the November 2019 club meeting, we'd like to hear from you. We want to setup another gathering were you can finish that. Probably on a Saturday. Please drop me an email (MembershipChair) at palomararc.org and I'll coordinate a get together.

USMC training class for basic RF and basic electronics
It ( the classes) will be something like twice a week, say Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30am to ~noon, starting in February. They want 8 weeks but it could be shorter if I can cover it quicker. It will likely depend on their potential for deployments as well. I will do a power point type slide show that I will make up for each class. I am not knowledgeable in all areas so I am just reaching out to see if I can get others to teach certain aspects and just give me a break now and then. Randy Standke may offer to do some antenna presentations I am waiting to hear back.
Location is Miramar Air Station.
1. Determine level of each participant so as to focus on the best training approach.
Introduce myself.
2. Ohms Law for DC, calculation of current, voltage drop, power and voltage divider.
3. Ohms law for AC circuits, introduce capacitance and inductance and complex number
basics, impedance concept R+jX , magnitude and phase basics. W=2*Pi*F
4. dBs what and how and why( 10*log(P1/P2) )
5. AC power and the idea of frequency response caused by R,L and C.
6. Circuit components, RLC, diodes, transistors, tubes, ferrites and batteries (various
kinds).
7. Digital components, uP, memory(EEPROM,RAM)
8. Circuits like amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, filters
9. Signals and emissions, carrier, Modulation AM, FM, SSB, Vector.
10. Bandwidths, Intermod, duty cycle, S/N performance of various modulations
11. Antennas and transmission lines, matching, impedance concept, SWR and
measurements. Dipole, vertical, directional antennas etc.
12. Radio wave propagation at HF, path loss concept, antenna capture area, ionosphere
reflections, solar influence.
