Workshop

Due to many requests, I decided to put together a workshop for electronic enthusiasts. The workshop is tailored to the needs of amateur radio operators of all licence classes with a general interest in electronics.

2800 MHz PLL oscillator
There are going to be 2 modules covered in an individual workshop each. Workshop number 1 is supposed to start from zero and workshop 2 will build up on that foundation into more complex topics. If demand is high enough, I will offer more intense workshops including hands-on homebrew workshops.

To spice the gray theory of the workshops up a bit, I am going to use live demonstrations wherever possible. Teledyne LeCroy is going to sponsor the events by providing an upper class oscilloscope for this purpose.

To recover the expenses for renting the seminar rooms, there will a small fee of $15 per person. Every attending person can bring family members along for just $10 per head. Fully optional but highly recommended, Amoree McGowan, KF5SKB, offered to cook lunch for all attendees for $5 per person.

      I’m looking forward to this class I would love to take the second as well but that’s the same Saturday as the Lawrence county winter fest ham fest at Hoxie.
