September GARA Meeting – History of SSB

This month, we will conduct our monthly GARA meeting using Google Meet and we will not meet on the 145.150 repeater. To join, go to meet.google.com and type in code: jgd-jovp-wcd

Keith Thomas (KA4JAH) has prepared a presentation for this month’s program about the early history of ham radio and modes of communication leading up to and including Single Side Band (SSB) operations.  We generally associate SSB with HF operations, but it is not limited to HF.  Keith is an Amateur Extra Class operator and an experienced HF operator.  He also hosts two local SSB Activity Nights.  If you have a 2m/6m SSB capable radio, please consider joining us on one or both Activity Nights:

2m Activity Night         Every Thursday at 9:00PM        144.200 MHz USB.

6m Activity Night         Every Sunday at 8:30PM           50.155 MHz USB.

The SSB Activity Nights usually last for at least one hour so you will have time to join in
after the GARA nets are concluded.

Respectfully,
Carl Fenske, KC4WGA
