BARS/SLAMS November Lunch

Earlier this afternoon, BARS and SLAMS members enjoyed good food and good company at the Chandler Hill Winery near Defiance, MO.  The winery is in the heart of St. Charles County's Femme Osage Valley and the scenery is beautiful.  Our November meeting agenda was to work out our meeting calendar for 2020.  We had a good turnout, but we missed our friends who couldn't make it.

Some of us are taking advantage of the DUBUS article and surplus equipment on 122 GHz!  We are also getting involved with light communications.  Dr. Sam Green W0PCE has a great deal of professional experience with optics and light communications.  Harry WA0CNS has a working light transmitter and receiver!  Herbert, when he has some spare time, is experimenting at the local maker space and he fabricated a 3D printed horn for light communication

Ron KO0Z has an article published in the November issue of CQ that features BARS/SLAMS activities.  It was great seeing everyone today.  For more details please check out the SLAMS BLOG site at http://slams-stlouis.blogspot.com/
