We will have our September Meeting on the 16th at 7pm.  This will be at the Adams County Emergency Management Office.  Address is:  2965 S. Baltimore
Hastings, NE 68901.

Next week we will NOT have our normal Meeting and Test Session.

This is Tuesday, January 21^st, 2025.

BUT, We will meet at 6pm for our Christmas Party.  Same place.  Adams County EOC.

Address is:  2965 S. Baltimore, Hastings, NE

We will have a potluck meal at 6pm.  Everyone welcome.  Bring a dish of your choice.  If we get all deserts that is what we will eat.

Then at 7pm or when we finish eating, I will be presenting on the Hastings Radar sites.  This will be an introduction to this “topic”, including the 625th squadron Air Defense Radar and the 10th Detachment of the 10 RBS Squadron (Radar Bomb Scoring) site.  Also, a look at AT&T’s Long Lines telephone site at Lyons, NE and some discussion of the SAGE Air Defense system from the 1950’s that the 625th was a part of.

I hope this will be interesting for all.  I will just be scratching the surface of these topics.

I have included a screen snip of the introduction slide of my presentation as an attachment.  Feel free to share with others that might be interested and not a member so they can come if they want.

Due to Covid-19 we have cancelled our meetings and testing until further notice.

We will post on this web page when we will resume the schedule.

In the meantime, if you have a 3D printer and/or Laser Cutter, contact us to help with printing Face Shields for local Medical Facilities.

If you want to learn Morse code and you don’t have a teacher, you’d probably just head over to a website or download a phone app. Before that, you probably bought a cassette tape or a phonograph record. But how did you learn Morse if you didn’t have any of that and didn’t know anyone who could send you practice? Sure, you could listen to the radio, but in 1939 that might be difficult, especially to find people sending slow enough for you to copy.
