Bob Brehm, AK6R
Bob Brehm, AK6R is Chief Engineer of Palomar Engineers (www.Palomar-Engineers.com), and has been a ham for over 50 years with experience.
Bob Brehm is often asked to speak about RFI, antenna matching, using baluns, stealth antennas, amplitude modulation, RTTY/digital modes, ESSB, ham radio on boats, and a variety of other subjects.
He has previously given presentations to our club on RFI and EndFed antennas.
This time he comes in person with what I believe will be partly a new presentation he’s working on, and some information on POTA deployments, antennas & baluns. It’s going to be a Great Presentation geared to what we have been doing lately. Followed by a Great Q&A. Please be in attendance if you can. Palomar Engineers is a ham vendor like no other. They are a one stop shop for RFI and Wire antenna applications with everything you need and resources to make the right decision. Having Mr Brehm live and in person is a real treat. And a great opportunity, for hams new and old to learn something that will improve your station!
He also will be bringing handouts. Hope to see you tomorrow night.
Our Board Meeting this month is this Saturday the 22nd.
It will be at the usual location, J&M. 11am. Come at 9am for breakfast prior to the meeting.
Agenda:
- Winter Field Day wrap up

10 meter Eagle Net, 8:00 PM (2000) to 9:00 PM (2100)
Eagle Net Bands & Modes (subject to change)
The Eagle Net has a new schedule!
- First week 10 meters 28.360mhz
- 2nd week 75 meters 3.884mhz
- 3rd and 4th week is 40 meters 7.238mhz.
- 5th week is for something different. SSB 6,12,17 meters or JS8Call any band.
It is our hope that our new frequencies will allow us to hear each other better as well as make out of area contacts more regularly. Unfortunately these new frequencies do require a General Class license or better. For this reason, we are keeping it on 10 meters the first Tuesday of each month.
