Our monthly meeting, held on the fourth Wednesday of the month, is Wednesday, September 27, 2023, at 7:00 p.m.

We will be getting a first look at our spark gap transmitter project that Dave and Jim have been working diligently on. Dave’s talent and passion is far reaching. Combine that with Jim’s experience serving with the elite Seabees, and these two guys can build anything!

The spark gap transmitter will be available for the Science Center’s Titanic display and other projects we have in the hopper, including with Palm Beach County schools. 

Last Friday, at our Youth Outreach meeting, we got a look at a PowerPoint presentation of the curriculum created by Cindy and Randy that we will be using in Palm Beach County schools, and it is fantastic! We will be talking more about that. 

As the Jamboree On The Air Camporee 2023 approaches, we will be providing a quick review of those dates and activities for next month. 

We have been so busy with these upcoming projects that we didn’t have time for presentations at our meetings. We are getting back to our presentations, which this month will be hosted by Marcos. Marcos has put together a presentation on Winlink Global Radio Email, and personally, I’m really looking forward to that!

We welcome everyone to our meetings and activities, members and non-members, whether licensed or not!

What do you think? This picture tells us all we need to know! 

At our meeting coming up this Wednesday, June 28th, we have pictures we’re going to show and talk about this past weekend. Good stuff!

We have several other projects in the hopper, so we’re going to discuss those and their timelines. Lots of exciting stuff on the horizon!

We will be having our monthly meeting on Wednesday, June 28 2023, at 7:00 p.m. As always, I am excited to see everyone and this month talk about our Field Day event… the good, the bad, and the fun we had doing it all!

We will be having our monthly meeting on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. As always, I am excited to see everyone and talk about our upcoming Saturday in the Park on May 27th, which coincides with the National Hurricane Center’s On-the-Air Annual Communications Test. This is the opportunity to prepare your equipment and communication skills for the upcoming season. More information on that can be found here – Test your station before hurricane season begins! – WPBARG Forums I expect this will be our last Saturday in the Park until the fall, so be sure to clear your calendar and come on out!

There will be no program this month because we will be discussing what we’re doing for Field Day in June, which will occur before next month’s meeting. This is where you will get filled in on the what, when, and where of 2023 Field Day.

And as I’ve always said, “If we’re not having fun in what we do, we’re not doing it right.” With that, we’re going to have a little fun involving one of our own, so you don’t want to miss this meeting!

I am equally excited to introduce to you this month’s guest speaker and his presentation. 

Mark Wohlschlegel, WC3W, will be our guest speaker at our monthly meeting, March 22, 2023, at the Cox Science Center.  Mark has been a ham for 60 years, lives in Palm Beach Gardens, and has recently taken over the CQ DX Marathon Program as of the first of the year. He would like to share with our club some of the details of the program and how simple it is to participate.  Over the last two years, the DX Marathon Program has been the fastest growing DX Program in the world! In 2022, it grew +46% over the same period last year. As with every month, all are welcome to attend. The CQ DX Marathon groups.io page is here – https://groups.io/g/dxmarathon

Edit: How did it go? Here’s a recap – Last Night’s Meeting – Mar 22, 2023 – WPBARG Forums

There is no meeting in December. Our next meeting will be January 25th. Before that, on January 21, we have our picnic, which starts at 10:00 a.m. We will be posting directions in our WPBARG Forum.

Do you have portable gear? Bring it! It’s going to be a picnic and a Run What You Brung!

In addition to the picnic, we’re going to have some portable fun. Don’t have any portable gear? No problem… we share! Come on out, have some fun, and maybe get some ideas if you’re thinking of building your own go box, or share your ideas with others who may be considering building theirs.
