It was good seeing everyone again. Cabin fever had set in and getting together to discuss winter projects harks of springtime. In fact, Zack heard the chirping of red wing blackbirds which means robins are not far behind! We gathered at the TA Truck Stop, Country Pride restaurant for good food, good conversation and good company. Harry, WA0CNS was unable to make it; however, he is hard at work making the W1GHZ 10 GHz cheap transverters and he has four being constructed. FB Harry! Our hopes are to get these "loaner" rigs out for contests to get more hams active in the fun of microwaves.
Ron is going to order gasfets for his 24 GHz doubler and proceed on with his stalled project.
Mike and Ron discussed grinding mirrors for telescopes.
Ron showed his dongle, LNA and Tbias connector. He hopes to copy the WB9PNU beacon with the dongle and LNA while visiting his grandkids in St. Charles.
Our next BARS breakfast will be in St. Louis.
