[bars] February BARS meeting Notice and ZOOM link

[Bruce Anderson]

Hi everyone,

I've included the ZOOM link below for our February BARS meeting.

This meeting will be both in-person at the church and on ZOOM

Topic: Kristen McIntyre, K6WX, First Vice President of the ARRL
Kristen will be updating us on the latest trends and happenings at the
ARRL. This is a presentation you won't want to miss!
Kristen has been interested in radio since she was about 5 years old. When
she was small, she built many radio kits, including her favorite: the
one-tube radio kit. She started in Amateur Radio around 1979 while at MIT,
obtaining her technician's license. She built a 2m repeater with an
autopatch to use while on campus at MIT. Somewhere in the middle of all
this, life intervened, and her license lapsed. She has recently been
re-licensed, getting her extra ticket. She has recently held the call signs
KG6OGQ, AE6KJ, and K6WX in rapid succession. She is now active on 2m,
1.2GHz, and is active on HF with an Elecraft K2 she built while on vacation
visiting her mother. Kristen often does her HF-ing mobile with the K2 and a
hamstick or from her apartment with a homebrew helical vertical dipole and
an IC-7600 driving an AL-811H. These days, she loves to chase DX using
mostly CW, and works contests from time to time. Kristen is also licensed
in Japan, her second home, as JI1IZZ. Kristen is ARRL Technical Coordinator
for the East Bay Section and is president of the Palo Alto Amateur Radio
Association for 2007, 2008, 2010 through the present. She is also a member
of the following clubs: Palo Alto Amateur Radio Association, South Bay
Amateur Radio Association, NCCC, USS Hornet Amateur Radio Club, Northern
California DX Club, Northern California Contest Club, FISTS CW Club
(10232), NAQCC, SKCC, and Young Ladies Radio League. Kristen is also net
control twice a week (well, once a week for now since work is pressing) for
the 9 am talk net:
