Utah Amateur Radio Club's Meeting Announcement

October Meeting: Homebrew Night

It's time! Thursday, October 8, will be the night of UARC's annual Homebrew Night. Homebrew night is the chance to show off home-built amateur radio equipment and receive a small gift for your efforts.

If you have something you have built (or will have built by October 8), bring it along to show off to the group. Each entrant will have a few minutes to show off his item and detail its function, features, and original touches.

Anything that can be used in amateur radio and was built by the person showing it is fair game. Common types of entries are keyers, power supplies, linear amplifiers, and QRP transceivers. If your project is too large to bring in (for example a tower or 160-meter beer-can Yagi), bring documentation and photos in projectable form. We will have a video projector available.

Meetings are now on the second Thursday of each month, so the coming meeting will be Thursday, October 8, at 7:30 P.M. Our meetings during the Fall semester are being held in room 1230 of the Warnock Engineering Building on the University of Utah campus. Our traditional parking on the east side of the building is blocked off for construction, so recommended parking is near the southeast corner of the Merrill Engineering Building lot. Go south along the east side of Merrill, then go in the north door of Warnock.

Of course, the meeting will include the “standard” meeting features:

  • Availability of ARRL books from Fred, the “book lady”
  • An opportunity to join UARC or renew your membership
  • An opportunity to join ARRL or renew your membership
  • The chance to meet face-to-face the people you talk to on the air
  • The “Meeting after the meeting”: A chance to enjoy pizza or other gastronomic delights with other hams. It happens at Litza's Pizza, 716 E. 400 South.
  • The “Meeting before the meeting”: A similar get-together for those who can leave work early enough to get there by 5:15 P.M. The October get-together will be at “Charlie Chow's Dragon Grill,” 255 E. 400 South in Salt Lake City.
