For over five years, the Fair Lawn (NJ) Amateur Radio Club has presented a live monthly speaker series for its members and guests highlighting the leading talent from the local amateur radio community. The Club reminds hams everywhere that these monthly club videos are available for you to view to stay active in the hobby while isolated because of the coronavirus epidemic. Topics include the development of FT8/FT4, propagation and the 2018 solar eclipse, using oscilloscopes, Echolink and related technologies, MESH networking, using SDR radios, understanding propagation, building a ground radial system, DX’ing, and making the most of QRP among others. The link to all videos can be found here http://youtube.FairLawnARC.org on the Fair Lawn Amateur Radio Club’s YouTube channel. Stay safe. Remember amateur radio is contagious and it won’t make you sick! ---- The club has also started a nightly health and welfare net for hams to stay in touch with each other at 1845 EDT on the W2NPT repeater located at 145.470 (-) with a PL tone of 167.9 or NJ2BS located at 146.835 (-) with a PL tone of 151.4. The net is also available via Echolink nodes 300501 or 171198. The net is open to all hams regardless of location or affiliation. If you have any questions, please contact Ed Efchak at 802-282-6700 or at wx2r@arrl.net. For more information, please visit the club's website at www.fairlawnarc.org or call 201-791-3841.
