[bars] December Newsletter -- final warning

[DOUGLAS BRUCE]

Hello Marla,
 
Here is the Guest Speaker Announcement for the December Club Meeting. Sorry for the delay.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

I am please to announce that our Guest Speaker for the December 3, 2025 Club Meeting will be John Meade, W2XS, and he will be presenting a talk on "Fun With QRP". You won't want to miss this one! John is an avid QRP Operator in Northport, New York. Here is John's Bio:
 
LICW Club #53, CWOPS #1407, CFO #201, ARCI #10275, NAQCC #655, SKCC #2200, A1 OP, Larkfield ARC
 
My main rig is the Elecraft K4D with the KPA500 and KAT500. I really enjoy the smooth QSK and quick QSY of the system. The K4D is a wonderful radio, and I am enjoying it very much. I have a K1, K2, KX1, KX2, KX3, SST40, OHR HP40, QCX mini, and NC40A for QRP use.
 
The paddles that I prefer are the Elecraft Hex-Key, the Brown Brothers Model BTL-A, and, for QRP, I also use the Black Widow, Paddlette PK-1, the Vibroplex Code Warrior, and K9LU Bulldog paddles, all of which have a nice feel to them.
 
The antenna is a center-fed 135-foot multiband doublet ("zepp") fed with KW 300-ohm ladder line through a Balun Designs Tuner Balun. 
 
I enjoy CW operating, QRP, and restoring and using boatanchors.  I started out in traffic handling and still like to QNI into nets.
 
My brother is WA2DSF and is using the K2 in Florida. Unfortunately, he is in a place with antenna restrictions, so the antenna so far is an indoor loop. His 2 meter HT is working, though.
