4 Last month after the Club business meeting there was no time for the presentation. Rich will give the Dipoles for beginners forum at this November 10th club meeting. This Month BVARA Club Feature Presentation: This Month: Speaker: Rich Soltesz K3SOM Topic: Dipoles for Beginners Including: Continuing with our BVARA Presentation Series this year, our topic this month deals with an area that beginning hams will find very helpful. We ll show you how to build a basic dipole for the HF bands. We ll begin by taking a look at what performance to expect from a basic 40 meter dipole mounted at a half wavelength above ground. We ll examine an actual center connection for this antenna and how to construct it. Then we ll look at what to expect if you can t put it up at 68 feet, but much lower. We ll talk about how to adjust the length of the dipole at that different height to get the best match to your transceiver. We ll also talk about ways to eliminate radiation from the coax feedline as well as why that is important. But wait, there s more! We ll look at how to construct a fan dipole for two HF bands. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran ham, this is one exciting presentation that you won t want to miss. Rich s Background: Extra Class Ham, Licensed since 1962, VE, B.S. Electrical Engineering P a g e 4

13 Bits and Pieces It is November! This year has been flying by. Never let safety fly by you. Think carefully before you start any radio project. Think safety first. Keep yourself free from any unsafe act. Enjoy your radio hobby without any injury. I mention the ARRL Sweepstakes Contest in late November. This is always a well-attended contest. The CW portion is early in the month, the SSB portion happens later in the month and should garner some interest from our contesters. For more information : I take a look back at this summer s Radio Season. It has been busy for me. I suspect it has been busy for you too. For me it has been a quiet radio summer. I have had so many projects to do around the house and events to attend it seriously cut into my radio pursuits. Cutting the grass was a big time consumer. There were graduation parties, weddings, picnics, birthday parties and upkeep on our home. I am looking forward to some quieter time in the winter months ahead. I am going to focus on learning something new in my radio hobby. I invite you to find something new to participate in in your radio hobby. I feel like I am on the starting line of exciting endeavors! How about you? There are still a few outside projects needing my attention before I can focus on Radio. Soon the cold will put those to rest. There is one more Hamfest I plan to attend in our local area before winter. I am excited and yet sorry to see the warm days go by and winter to soon be here. There are many things to look forward to, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year s. I am planning some radio time in there, I hope you are too! Where ever your radio hobby takes you, be safe. Think it through. 73. P a g e 13
