Next meeting will be "Ham Radio Testing":

Is your mobile antenna working properly (flat SWR)? Is your mobile radio working properly (power, deviation, frequency)? If you don't know and you want to, come to the next South Florida FM Association meeting. At the meeting on September 11, 2000 at 1930 hours, we will be offering this testing to all Amateurs. Make sure you can easily disconnect your mobile antenna from your mobile transceiver and be ready to do so what it is your turn for testing. We may also test relative signal strength and spectral purity depending on equipment brought. If you have any such equipment available, please call me, Lee Ciereszko, N4TCW at 305 992 5978. ++++++++++++++++++++++++
