Calling All Hams,
You are invited to build the Pacific Antenna Micro Attenuator kit at the Defiance County Amateur Radio Club project day.
Fox Hunts will be coming up and having an antenna attenuator is a must have. This attenuator provides up to 40dB in 4 steps of 10dB. If you have never soldered, this is a great first time kit to learn how. If you’re an old hand at it, it’s still a fun build.
With the kit the DCARC is providing a 3D printed base that can also be used to mount it to an antenna. If you already have an antenna and handheld 2M radio, bring them. If not, we will have some available for you to test the operation of the attenuator after construction with a couple of live fox hunt transmitters placed some distance away.
The construction project will take place on April 11th at 2 PM. Location:
Ney Church of God
03413 OH-15
Ney, OH 43549
The cost to participate is $30 with a deposit of $15 due by March 21st.
For the deposit, please make out a check to the Defiance County Amateur Radio Club and mail it to:
Defiance County Amateur Radio Club
925 S Clinton St #21
Defiance OH 43526
Payment can also be made in person during the March DCARC meeting. The balance is due, cash or check, the day of the event.
Also, please contact me, John St Peter KD8JSP, by email if you are going to attend. (Email address is accurate on QRZ.)
Lastly, building kits works up an appetite. After all, the DCARC is the ‘Crock Pot’ club. So if you would like to bring a dish to pass that would be great. Let me know in the email.
Hope to see you there,
