Just some notes.....

      We had a good turn out at last nights regular meeting. There was 22 in attendance and 1 person tested and past his Tech license. Congrats to him. Some of the items up for discussion was Bill KY2O brought his Raspberry Pi to give a quick demo. If you don't know what a Raspberry Pi is, well it's a $35 computer!! It's a pretty cool device that you need to read about. The ham applications are just starting to come to life but it was developed as a educational tool. It does run Linux OS but go check out the Raspberry Pi and see for your self.

     Ed AB4IQ brought his new project. It's a switch box were you can switch between 3 different radios and 3 different amps in any configuration. You can also use only 1 mic and switch between any of the radios. Also you can use a sound card device and select 1 of the 3 rigs.

    One other project discussed and in the works is a mod for the Tigertronics Signal Link. The SL is an external sound card device to run digital modes including RTTY, but, it only runs AFSK. In the May  issue of QST  Ron WB3LHD wrote an article to add FSK to the SL device. A kit has to be built and several club members have ordered the PC boards and programmed chip and all the components. Hopefully by next club meeting we will have a follow up to this mod.

   Bruce KS4V has decided to step down as secretary. Bruce is very busy with other matters that takes him away from the club meeting so he has stepped down and Ed AB4IQ was elected last night to fill the posistion for the remainder of this year
