We had an awesome Transmitter Hunting Workshop this Tuesday! After scouring The Oval for about an hour, we successfully found the transmitter, even with the pesky reflections from the nearby buildings. Looking forward to our full-scale hunt soon!

Congrats to our members on their successful antenna builds at Tuesday’s Antenna Building Workshop! Looks like we’re ready to go for our foxhunt this semester!

Shoutout to the folks at ESL for taking us on a tour of the anechoic chamber (and the rest of the building)! It was incredible to learn about the space where so many critical antennas have been tested, including NASA’s New Horizons probe!

Thanks for the amazing turnout at our 2019 Winter School Club Roundup! Congrats to Carmen, Deep, Jonah, and Mike for landing their first-ever QSOs!

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the meeting last night! It was fun having a more laid-back meeting, and we got into some great conversations about radio, electronics, and just college in general!

Thanks to everyone who trekked out to Bevis Hall with us for a tour of the ham shack! We got to run through all of the equipment we have available to students, plus we ran through how to set the radio up and get on the air!

We had an incredible HF setup at the Student Involvement Fair today! We heard Portugal and California, but couldn’t get a signal to send past the walls of the Union. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth!

Thanks for the awesome turnout at the meeting last night! We had a great discussion about how to get on WSPRnet with low-cost QRP setups and how we could use this in our project. Looks like we’ve got an awesome start to our project this semester!

Last weekend’s Winter QSO Party was a success! W8LT scored 360 points by making 12 over-the-air contacts with 8 unique states and 3 countries. Looking forward to January for our next QSO event!
