GUEST SPEAKER : JOHN PORTUNE (W6NBC): AUTO TUNERS
Don’t miss this Friday’s SCCARC Zoom meeting at 7:30pm! Guest speaker John Portune (W6NBC) will be giving a great presentation about “Automatic auto tuners and particularly why should I buy a remote auto tuner?”
You may remember John’s excellent presentation to our Club in March about Slot Antennas.
Here is John’s Bio:
John Portune, W6NBC, has a life dedicated to education from his early days at a British grammer school teacher to his current one day, all day, ham radio classes where hundreds of people have gotten their first licenses. Lecturing and public speaking, especially on Amateur radio topics to any group that will have him drive John’s contributions to the hobby. Amateur radio has always played a central role in John’s social and professional life.
John was first licensed in 1965, and has held callsigns of WB6ZCT, G5AJH, AA6NG. He operates on an Icomm IC-706 and has an all-band flagpole disguise antenna that he built.
