[KYHAM] Radio Theory and Construction Workshop

[Bill Fuqua]

The Radio Theory and Construction Workshop will meet Saturday, August 11, 
2007 in the basement of the Red Cross Building at 1450 Newtown Pike, 
Lexington, KY. The basement entrance is on the Left side of the building if 
you are looking at the front (Newtown Pike side) of it.The Workshop will 
begin at 1:00PM and continue until 3:00PM. This workshop is for anyone who 
is interested in the subject of radio theory or construction. Anyone may 
join the workshop at any time. This workshop does not really have a 
beginning or an end. It is a continuing effort to help those that are 
interested in knowing more about the internal workings of radios 
(receivers, transmitters and antennas) and/or building them. A ham license 
is not required and there are no age restrictions. I encourage young 
students to participate. Participants will have to obtain their own tools 
and they will need to purchase a beginner's radio kit (AM-550K). I have 
some kits in stock so you will not have to wait. Just pay me for the kit 
and I'll order another to replace it. That way we will have some always 
available for new participants.
The Bluegrass Amateur Radio Society's Youth Education Program (Y.E.P.) can 
provide young students up thru the 12th grade books, kits, tools and parts 
at no cost. This kit cost about $20 and it is perfect for learning 
soldering, component identification and basic radio theory. If you wish to 
join our workshop please e-mail me so that I can add you to our list. I 
have a short questionnaire to get some information about your interest, 
experience and knowledge level. If you cannot be contacted by e-mail call 
me in the evening at (859) 272-9523 and I will add you to a phone list. 
This is necessary because we do not hold the workshop every weekend due to 
other obligations, vacation, hamfest and license exam sessions.
