In an effort to make the monthly Frederick Amateur Radio Club meetings more informative and enjoyable, we are looking for folks to give a 20-45 minute presentation to the club on something that they know well. You don’t have to be a Ph.D. in electronic engineering or even hold an amateur license, just have something of interest to present to our membership.
Individuals who would be willing to speak on a ham related topic at one of our monthly meetings are encouraged to contact us. We meet on the third Monday of each month at 7 PM at the Independent Hose Company on Baughmans Ln.
Here is a compiled list of all ideas for possible presentations that has been received.
| – Introduction to HAM Radio | – Digital modes | – Satellite communications |
| – Controlling your radio remotely | – Stealth antenna designs | – Ham radio and the internet |
| – Emergency Power Systems | – Proper Station Grounding | – EME |

||
| – Theory and operation of simple tube radios (let us understand our roots) | ||
| – Presentations about what ham radio was like in the 30s – 50s, from some experienced ham family members | ||
