CARA Monthly General Meeting 

We are about to kick off the 2016-2017 CARA fall season. The first regular club meeting will be ‪September 27th. Location is the Calgary Sports Car Club, Southwest corner of 80th Avenue and Metis trail NE. Start time has changed, Now 7:00 PM.

The Fun Part

One of our members will present the activities and results of his “fun in the summer project” to home-brew a compact loop antenna for the mid HF range amateur radio bands. The home-brew part is literal. It begins with the construction of the very tools used to accomplish the objective. These include a 3D printer, and a “Mostly Printed CNC" milling machine.  The outcome of his efforts is remarkable. But I think it was the journey that best illustrated the breadth of the amateur radio hobby as a vehicle for continuous learning and personal satisfaction.

Over refreshments you will be able to meet and chat with the executive elected at the end of June. Robin Greig, VE6RBN, Jim Weisert, VE6GO and Jerry Spring, VE6TL are the new members of the Board. Peter Barry, VE6PJB and myself, Gordon Hungerford, VE6TI have served on previous executives.

The Business Part

Focus of new Executive… It’s too long for this post; see the most recent "President’s message" for the detail.

In Closing

The new Executive is taking up the challenge initiated by the former executive to continue to improve member satisfaction and participation.

The Executive are few in number. Members are many. Executive will lead and organize. Member(s) make things happen through your/their active participation. 

Lets just do this.
