Sunday Sessions...Yes They Still Live

Yes, Sunday Sessions are still alive. Yet to come up with a group project(s) a few hardy souls show up even if just to provide moral support to those of us who sometimes are “all akimbo” in the world of Ham Radio. Take this weekend’s session; Jeff KA1DBE worked magic with powerpoles to get his automatic power transfer switch type thinghy (Tech terminology, sorry) online, Chuck AC1BS researched, I worked on condensing my HB1B QRP kit into a waterproof hard shell case (I might even take it out of the case this year and actually use it!) and we topped off the afternoon with Jeff making a contact on DMR for us to observe. Chris, N1CJS EAWA club President and Chris, AB1PZ head of EMCOMM, were there to lend moral support and give us guidance where needed. And there was coffee consumed of course! 

Next Sunday Session, January 27^th, 12 noon, 25 Tweedie Lane Meadow View Phase 4 Community Room, Ellsworth.

EAWA Club Battery Box

Ellsworth Amateur Wireless Association has a lot of talented members! Yet another member showed his talents by giving the club a home for its large AGM battery for power backup at 25 Tweedie Lane where we meet. Bob Morse AB1EP stepped up to the plate after we, with Bob’s help as well, purchased a large AGM battery for use in the club space. After searching for an affordable box to safely store it AB1EP volunteered to ‘come up with something’ in his workshop. Last Thursday Bob showed up at the club meeting with this work of art. Hand crafted using maple from his property none the less! Thanks Bob!
