Just a quick reminder that our next club meeting is Monday September 9th at 7 PM at KVH.
Following a quick business meeting, one of our newest members, Dr. Adria Updike, KC1LOK, a faculty member at Roger Williams, along with her student Jenna Lowe, will give a presentation on a high-altitude balloon experiment that they conducted this summer. Adria was quick to apply her new ham radio skills as the balloon used APRS for tracking.
Hope to see everyone on Monday at 7 PM
