[chbot] Robotics Group meeting, 5 Idris Rd, 6-30pm, Mon 20 Jan 2025

[Henry Ford]

 Mark, if the Lord's willing and the river don't flood, I could be up for a 5 - 8 minute talk on Monday night on my One Dollar 80m (or 40m or 20m) phasing SSB transmitter. For another dollar, the present ozone-layer threatening +10dBm (10mW) output could blow out to a massive 200mW, or maybe more. Being poor, however, I don't run to that sorta unmitigated financial waste. On a week night, anyway. 

No tubes, ceramic, crystal or mechanical filters, DSP or magic involved. But there is a gen-u-ine BC548 and a couple of 74HCxx chips! 

If anyone's interested.

Cheers
Andrew ZL2PD

 Hi All,

Please bring along any projects that you have been working on, along 
with a healthy curiosity, and maybe some off-the-wall ideas and suggestions.

The door should open before 6:30pm, and as usual, the evening will start 
with an informal get together. At around 7:15 we move onto the 
talks-from-the-front.

Feel free to forward this notice to anyone who you think might be 
interested in visiting us : "as well as an interest in all things 
robotic, we have a membership with interests ranging from radio, 
embedded computing (including Arduino, Raspberry Pi), also high-vacuum 
systems, FPGA design, solar power, and electric vehicles, to name but a 
few".

As usual, guests are most welcome, so please bring friends. Also, this 
is a very low-key event with people arriving and leaving as they feel fit.

Hope to see you Monday evening,

Mark

PS if you have any copper wire or cable, or scrap aluminum that you 
could like to donate, please consider bringing it along to the meeting. 
Our host club has regular runs to the scrap yard, and this is a real 
money-spinner for them.

PPS Happy to accept electrical/electronic donations for the trading 
table, as long as the equipment does not contain significant amounts of 
glass, plastic or wood. Such examples are CRT TVs/monitors, printers, or 
document scanners.

NB All proceeds from the evening go directly to our host club, 
Christchurch Amateur Radio club, NZART BR05.
