Fascinating Presentation at Our
November 18 SBARC Club Meeting
Cristian Paun, WV6N, a proud member of the Santa
Barbara Amateur Radio Club, will honor us with a presentation on his very
stealthy antennae that he has designed and uses at his home QTH in
Lompoc.
Like many among us who live in nice neighborhoods
but have to put up with Home Owner Association (HOA) rules and regulations
regarding antennae, Cristian didn't take it sitting down. He has devised ways to
get around those discriminating rules and still works lots of
DX.
The loops shown above were featured in a
paper written by WV6N that was published in the Nov 2011 issue of QST
magazine. They are the only antennae at the WV6N QTH due to these HOA
regulations.
Want to find out more about these antennae? Come
to our November meeting and get the whole story.
Also at our November meeting, we will hold our
annual Election of Officers and Directors for the year 2012. You may nominate
yourself for a position on our board of directors or, with their willingness to
serve the club for a year, nominate someone else at the club
meeting.
November is also when we hold our annual
Home-Brew Night. Bring your entry and let's see whose gets the most oohs and
aahs.
Don't forget to bring some tasty goodies for the
goodie table and also, rejoin SBARC for 2012 at the Membership Table with Harry,
K6PDQ.
Our club meetings are held at the Goleta Union
School District, 401 N. Fairview Ave. in Goleta, right across the street from
the Goleta Library. Doors open at 6:45pm and the meeting begins at 7:30 pm. Come
early and bring a friend.
