Club meeting and special presentation

This is the North Hills Radio Club's monthly general meeting, and will include a presentation by Mark KO6MBI.

Mark K06MBI will give us a presentation on his satellite award for the VUCC (VHF/UHF Century Club) is an award given by ARRL for operators that achieve confirmed contacts with hams in 100 distinct Maidenhead grid squares operating on the VHF & UHF bands. One of the VUCC award categories is for contacts made via amateur radio satellites. Beyond the technical aspects of working satellites, chasing 100 confirmed contacts has its own set of challenges. I’ll discuss what steps I took to get to 100 confirmed grids, what tools I used, and how the application process works.

We plan to also announce the results of club elections Director 2 position at this meeting.

The in-person meeting will be held at the Arcade Library near the intersection of Fulton Ave and Marconi Ave, next to the Taco Bell.

 In addition to current club members, anyone interested in ham radio is welcome to join us.

For those unable to attend in-person, the meeting will be conducted in hybrid format with Zoom.
