Something new for Two Rivers ARC, Jeff KC3ZIX one of the members brought in a homebrew antenna he built. It’s called a Noodle Antenna. It’s tune for 17m.

June 13 is the next gathering. Everyone is welcome you do not have to be a Two River ARC member. This Operations Night Two Rivers ARC will be hosting a class in the Prep and Operation of ARRL Field Day.
Operations Night this evening we has a Class on how Antenna Tuners work and don’t work by Jim Bricker N3JHB. Then on to operating radios.
Two Rivers ARC Operations Night has grown and expanded. Truth is, there was no set plan as to what Two Rivers ARC members would do for Operations Night. Turns out we’ve been doing anything and everything Amateur Radio related. Initially members were learning FT8 at the first gathering, that got the ball rolling. Discussions:Antenna design…
All had a great Operations Night. Our Hustler 4BTV Quad Band Antenna has a permanent home and was working great. The night was not without events, on site repair to a radio was needed.
Two Rivers ARC W3OC Operation Night. Erected two vertical antennas. The Hustler 4BTV Quad Band and the Eagle One Repaired and Modified antennas. We connected the QuadPlexer to the Hustler, and single radio to the Eagle One.
A gathering of Tech, General and Extra Class amateur radio operators come together for an evening of Learning and Teaching.
Operations night testing QuadPlexer. QuadPlexer enables four radios to operate one antenna at the same time. Our QuadPlexer is set for 40 meter, 20 meter, 15 meter and 10 meter. Antenna used was a repaired Eagle One vertical antenna. Little more fine tuning needed.
