This month’s program for the September 27th meeting is on Portable Operations by Joe Fleagle WØFY.
Joe is currently one of our two Board “Members at Large.” He has been into electronics since the age of 13 and has been a ham since 1961, when he received the call of K3OPB. He upgraded to general class license in 1962, served in the Navy Seabees from 1965 to 1968 and upgraded to Extra class license in 1968. Joe has had the call of WØFY since 1974.
Joe is a retired electrical engineer who worked on the development of a wide variety of electronic projects both civilian and military, including IFF equipment for aircraft, anti-lock brakes for trucks, electronic warfare receivers, radar transmitters, automatic vehicle location system, and automatic test equipment for military hardware.
He will be presenting information on how to work portable operation and is hoping to encourage others to get out there and work from places other than their own QTH.
