Next In-person UARC Meeting at the U Larry has been a local active ham for the last 55 years and has occupied most positions in the UARC club including past president in the 70s back when UARC held meetings at Murray High School. Larry's interest in amateur radio direction finding (ARDF) began at ten years old while accompanying his father Jake, W7DBO, on six meter fox hunts in Olympia Washington. Today much of his time is spent building equipment, hiding Fox Boxes or giving ARDF presentations at club meetings and amateur radio conferences. At the May meeting he will demonstrate several types of direction finding devices and techniques both on the big screen and a live search for hidden transmitters in the meeting room. Time will be given for Q&As.
The
meeting starts at 7:30 pm and will be available on UARC's YouTube Channel,
live and for later playback. For
directions on how to get to the meeting location at the University of
Utah, including elevator access - and to see a map
showing the parking lot north of Merrill Engineering Building
which you can SAFELY park in without getting a
ticket - go to the "Directions
to the Meeting" page - link.
