Ham Radio Breakfast
Hi there!
The topic of S meter readings came up up the other day on a repeater discussion, so we thought we would post a reference table and a link to an informative explanation on S meter readings. This is always an interesting topic among Hams, as most of us have noticed differences among various radios.

Winter Field Day 2023, sponsored by the Winter Field Day Association (WFDA), will take place over the January 28-29 weekend, and it can be a terrific time to prep for ARRL Field Day in June. The event, which got its start in 2007, is not restricted to North America. All Amateur Radio operators around the world are invited to participate “Don’t let those winter doldrums keep you locked up in the house,” the WFDA says. “Get out and play some radio!” The WFDA said it believes that maintaining operating skills should not be limited to fair-weather scenarios.

It was a large friendly group and great food at the Finally Ours Diner on Onondaga Hill. I believe we counted 40+ people attending. Its always a fun time with this group and the first big breakfast since the Pandemic that slowed things down two years ago. We also raffled a couple of radios and raised some money for two independent repeaters in CNY.
Also a big hats off to N2XSG who had a VCR/projector set up with a vintage 38 minute Ham radio interview with Jack Smith; W2QYT (SK). What a great piece of CNY Ham radio history from a great guy who we all miss. His influence on Upstate NY Ham radio communications will long be remembered. Thanks Lou for finding and saving this awesome piece of local Ham radio history!more info here: https://skylinehamradioclub.org/januarywinterfest?fbclid=IwAR2K1EOP0iD76_wGMM4EwZDuq2iO0Ax8PlJBu-Gcmu9Qj-PlsduRU4j6oyI
