June 2014 Technical Specialist Report

Hello July! This year is flying by….

June saw the arrival of a new-to-me service monitor. I picked up an HP 8935 from a vendor I met at the Dayton Hamfest. The 8935 will replace my CT System 2100 and add some much needed functionality to the bench.

My ham radio time last month was centered around two major projects:

1). Continued work on the Raspberry Pi presentation that K3HTK and I will be hosting at the Indy Ham Fest

2). Planning and preparation for the N9AG Field Day activities

The N9AG ran a 4A designation which each station being manned by a club member.  We had a few guests that showed an interested prior to Field Day kicking off, but I think the threat of weather scared most of them off.  As I was loading up the jeep on Saturday morning in the rain, I wasn’t sure how the day was going to play out, all in all, it wasn’t bad.

That pretty much sums it up for this report.
