There’s a very nice article from Paul KC1YMR on some SOTA adventures! No doubt better than me droning on and on about POTA…

NVARC March Meeting – Thursday, March 19

The Nashoba Valley Amateur Radio Club’s March meeting is Thursday, March 19th, at the Pepperell Community Center. We’ll start socializing at 7:00 PM, with the main meeting kicking off at 7:30 PM.

Guest Speaker: Tony Brock-Fisher, K1KP

Tony will discuss his high-efficiency, 500W HF transmitter design – the same design Flex Radio adopted for their new state-of-the-art Aurora transceiver.

This should be a really interesting and exciting presentation.
