May 2007 Meeting Minutes
May 16, 07 by Iroquois County Amateur Radio ClubClay N9IO spoke to the group about Fox Hunting as our special program. Clay demonstrated a couple of homemade quads and some homemade attenuators and a handheld device that included a small receiver. Clay said that these antennas were receive only so do not worry about correct spacing or high VSWR. Keep your antenna moving and swinging to find the best of the sharpest peaks. Use attenuators to cut down on signal after you get close to the tx. Clay suggested joint Fox hunts by the KKK and Iroquois clubs later in the summer or fall.
Old Business
New TX-RX duplexers were talked about for the 2-meter repeater. Some people going to Dayton might get to talk to the engineers at Tx-Rx.
We hope to have a test secession for new hams soon—we now have 3 VEs in our group.
