SUMMARY:GO-Kit and FLDIGI Review Session
DESCRIPTION:GO-Kit and FLDIGI Review Session\n  \nJoin us in our Go-kit and FLDIGI* review session\, in advance of our expected deployment in April. The date is Saturday March 23\, 9:00 AM at the Harford County Department of Emergency Services\,  Training Classroom (Room 138 near the RACES Room). Dixon Barthel will be the instructor. Contact Dixon please for more information.  \n \n*Fldigi (short for Fast light digital) is a free and open-source program which allows an ordinary computer’s sound card to be used as a simple two-way data modem. The software is mostly used by amateur radio operators who connect the microphone and headphone connections of an amateur radio SSB or FM transceiver to the computer’s headphone and microphone connections\, respectively.(courtesy of Wikipedia)

SUMMARY:Basic Electronic Class for Hams
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 20\, 2024\n\nWe are pleased to announce the next class in a series of simple\, ham-related\, electronic projects\, presented by one of our members\, Dixon Barthel K3WNS. The project for this session is  a continuation  of the use of the Arduino use in amateur radio and related topics.  \nFor those who have missed the previous sessions\, we talked about the basics like Ohm’s law\, inductors\, capacitors\, transistors\, and the like. All the notes from those sessions are available. We also played with Arduino and PIC projects. The previous class introduced Arduino code and simple circuit. Other classes discussed simple\, practical code oscillators\, the workings of an ammeter and a voltmeter. \nThis class is on Wednesday\, March 20\, 2024\, Currently (though we may change) the meetings are held at the Department of Emergency Services at 2220 Ady Road\, Forest Hill\, MD 21050\,  just north of Conowingo Road (see the tall tower and you’re there). We’re meeting in room 106. Just ask the attendant where to go and log in. We meet every other Wednesday at 6:30pm in the evening and go to about 8:30pm. No charge. \nFor your part\, you’ll need an Arduino board\, breadboard\, some LEDs\, some resistors\, and some capacitors. You’ll also need a power supply to provide 9-12 volts to your board. \nWe just want to help folks know how to do stuff. Attendees’ may be (but do not have to be) be a member of Harford County ARES/RACES\, or can hold or are interested in getting an amateur FCC radio license.

SUMMARY:Fourth Elementary Electronics Class For Hams
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the fourth class in a series of simple\, ham-related\, electronic projects\, presented by one of our members\, Dixon Barthel K3WNS. This is actually a continuation of an ongoing course in elementary electronics and projects for hams. Anyone is welcome to attend. No previous knowledge in electronics is required. (It would be nice\, however).\n \n \n\nThe project for this session is “Extended NE555 Timer Circuits“. We’ll take a look at various\, hands-on  projects that we can make using the 555 timer. Here is a link to the class notes for this lesson\,   \n\nclick here for the November 1\, 2023 class notes \n\n(Note: Previous class notes follow below) \nNovember 1\, 2023 Class Outline: \n• To explore four projects\, two using additional hardware. \n• Ganging two NE555s together for additional functions\n     – Switching a flashing signal off and on\n     – Making a Siren\n• To extend the functions of the NE555 timer with digital counter IC\n     – CD4017 counter to display a progressive row of lights – “Night Rider”\n     – CD4060 counter to extend the timer’s range to days. \nFor your part\, you’ll need a breadboard (like the one you bought for the Arduino projects)\, some LEDs\, some resistors\, and some capacitors.  You’ll also need a power supply to provide 9-12 volts to your board. \nWe will be providing the 555s\, gotten in bulk from Amazon.  For those who have missed the introductory sessions\, we talked about the basics like Ohm’s law\, inductors\, capacitors\, transistors\, and the like. All the notes from those sessions are available. We also played with Arduino and PIC projects. The last class we discussed simple\, practical code oscillators\, The previous class discussed the workings of an ammeter and a voltmeter.    \n\n \nThe fourth class is on Wednesday\, November 1\, 2023\, Currently (though we may change) the meetings are held at the Department of Emergency Services at 2220 Ady Road\, Forest Hill\, MD 21050\, just north of Conowingo Road (see the tall tower and you’re there). We’re meeting in room 106. Just ask the attendant where to go and log in. We meet every other Wednesday at 6:30pm in the evening and go to about 8:30pm. No charge.\n \nWe just want to help folks know how to do stuff.

SUMMARY:Third Elementary Electronics Class
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the third class in a series of simple\, ham-related\, electronic projects\, presented by one of our members\, Dixon Barthel K3WNS. This is actually a continuation of an ongoing course in elementary electronics and projects for hams. Anyone is welcome to attend. No previous knowledge in electronics is required. (It would be nice\, however).\n \n\nThe project for this session is “555 Timer Use Projects“. We’ll take a look at various\, hands-on  projects that we can make using the 555 timer.  For your part\, you’ll need a breadboard (like the one you bought for the Arduino projects)\, some LEDs\, some resistors\, and some capacitors.  You’ll also need a power supply to provide 9-12 volts to your board. \nWe will be providing the 555s\, gotten in bulk from Amazon.  For those who have missed the introductory sessions\, we talked about the basics like Ohm’s law\, inductors\, capacitors\, transistors\, and the like. All the notes from those sessions are available. We also played with Arduino and PIC projects. The last class we discussed simple\, practical code oscillators\, The previous class discussed the workings of an ammeter and a voltmeter.    \n\n \nThe third class is on Wednesday\, October 18 2023\, Currently (though we may change) the meetings are held at the Department of Emergency Services at 2220 Ady Road\, Forest Hill\, MD 21050\, just north of Conowingo Road (see the tall tower and you’re there). We’re meeting in room 106. Just ask the attendant where to go and log in. We meet every other Wednesday at 6:30pm in the evening and go to about 8:30pm. No charge.\n \nWe just want to help folks know how to do stuff. Atendees may be (but do not have to be) be a member of Harford County ARES/RACES\, or can hold or are interested in getting an amatuer radio license. There is no fee for the class\, but there coud be a small fee for parts. In order to attend\, please contact K3WNS Dixon Barthel \, K3WNS@gmail.com first\, via email\, for more information and prior to attendng .

SUMMARY:Second Elementary Electronics Class
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that the second class in a series of ham-related\, electronic projects\, presented by one of our members\, Dixon Barthel. This is actually a continuation of an ongoing course in Electronics and projects for Hams. Anyone is welcome to attend. No previous knowledge in electronics is required. (It would be nice\, however).\nThe project for this session is “Code Practice Oscillator”. It’s old school. we’ll go over all the basics and what’s needed to make the tool. We’ll be looking at several different options from simple to more complex and designing and making something that will work for you.\nBeyond that\, we plan to look at an SWR meter\, an digital time clock\, a frequency counter\, and whatever happens to interest you. For those who have missed the introductory sessions\, we talked about the basics like Ohm’s law\, inductors\, capacitors\, transistors\, and the like. All the notes from those sessions are available. We also played with Arduino and PIC projects.\nThe second class is on Wednesday\, October 4\, 2023\, Currently (though we may change) the meetings are held at the Department of Emergency Services at 2220 Ady Road\, Forest Hill\, MD 21050\, just north of Conowingo Road (see the tall tower and you’re there).
