Antenna Wizards
Submitted by TCFMC on Thu, 04/29/2010 - 05:51If you are looking for ways to improve your signal in the antenna where it really counts let us tell you....Just incase you didn't know, there are a lot of myths, half-truths, old tales, and mis-information when it comes to antennas. Sometimes they really hinder hams from enjoying operation on the HF bands. And how would you like to hear about some great wire antennas from the DX champions that you can build?
Hear about great HF and VHF antennas ideas in antenna building and wonderful suggestions about practical antennas that fit on small lots from the "Antenna Wizards" May 10 at TCFMC.

Mailing Lists.
Submitted by TCFMC on Thu, 01/21/2010 - 17:36They come in many names. Some are moderated, some are free form. We have a couple related to the Twin Cities FM Club, and you are welcome to join, and participate.
Join at http://lists.duonet.net Personally I recommend joining the TCFMC-Announce list at a minimum. You will be updated with website and club related events such as club meetins when the club secretary sends out those events. If you would rather use e-mail to communicate with club members who want general rag chew type conversations in e-mail, that's what the 'TCFMC' mailing list is for.
