Weekend Session: Plans & Projects!

Posted on by Marion Mason

The Weekend Session on January 11, the first of the new year, brought out many EAWA members and highlighted various projects. Jeff KA1DBE is working on plans for the EAWA’s Annual Ham Radio Symposium. The April Symposium features guest speakers, demonstrations, raffle prizes, and light refreshments. Once plans are finalized, announcements and details about the symposium will be published many places, including this website.

Jeff KA1DBE shared ideas regarding the symposium. In the first photo is Chuck AC1BS, Rob W8HAP, Dick W1KRP, Chris K1WJY, Matt KC1VLH, and Joan W1DLC. In the second photo is Mel W1MEB, Stan W1BOY, John KQ1P, Barbara KC1SSY, and Mark W1ABY.

As is typical of Weekend Sessions, several members had planned to meet up during the scheduled time for troubleshooting and mentoring. The topics always vary, but the time to meet up and work together is always appreciated!

Marion W1GRL brought her recent kit build, an S-Pixie Transceiver, and John KQ1P brought some home-brew components to show the others.
After 2 hours, the conversations were still going strong! Moving across the photos, animated discussions continued with Stan W1BOY, Jeff KA1DBE, and Barbara KC1SSY, while another discussion included Chris K1WJY, Mark W1ABY, Matt KC1VLH, and Dick W1KRP.

Weekend Sessions are a great place to get advice on any aspect of ham radio and to share current projects. These are scheduled for twice a month during the fall and winter. For future dates, check here. Perhaps we’ll see you at a Weekend Session soon!
