      What would you like to see for a meeting program? e.g. How contests work, understanding hf propagation, etc.

      HF propagation is a great topic. Antenna building. Electronic projects. HF audio tips.

      A few ideas for programs:

      I agree with HF propagation, that would be a good subject;
      –Traffic handling (NTS nets, Radiograms)
      –Contesting
      –Antenna builds
      –Various digital modes, i.e. RTTY, SSTV, Winlink, Vara (HF & VHF), JT/FT modes, etc., as well as basic set-up
      –APRS
      –Digital radio modes (System Fusion & WIRES-X, D-Star, etc.)
      –Satellite operations
      –RDF/Fox Hunting
      –HF/VHF/UHF Net Operations (mostly geared possibly for new hams)
      –Emergency Communications and AUXCOM
      –Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES)
      –Community Emergency Response Team (CERT – while not specifically amateur radio related, it does benefit)
      –Project builds

      Hope this list helps. I’m sure there’s plenty other things since ham radio is “a thousand hobbies in one.”

      Not only Digital modes like DStar, SF, DMR, but also analog internet linking options, like AllStarLink and Echolink.

      I agree these are great topics. I would like to see individuals take responsibility to present these topics at our meetings. I would like to see us produce a schedule of events that include the program topics for each club meeting. This will be one agenda item for the January meeting.
