Fall Buildathon – sign up now!

The Peel Amateur Radio Club’s Fall Buildathon will be held on Saturday November 21, 2009 at 9:00 a.m.

The location is:

St. Bartholomews United Church
22 Abbey St.
Brampton

We will be building a “USB 16-bit AD/DA converter”. This external addition to your computer is also known as a USB stereo sound card or “S2”. All SMT parts will be pre-installed so it makes a good project for the first time builder and there will be a lot of assistance available during the Buildathon.

The project team has been organized and we are trying to keep the cost below $50.00 for club members. There will be an extra cost of $25.00 for non-club members that will include a one year membership in the Peel Amateur Radio Club.

Please register by the end of the club’s monthly meeting on October 6th, so we can order the project parts. To register for the Buildathon contact our Education Director, Wayne Highgate VA3WWH (905) 454-5831.

As always, bring along your projects, working or otherwise and share your experiences with like minded Homebrewers. We will also be discussing our upcoming Buildathon.

See you there,

Guest speakers will share interesting information, and it’s an opportunity for like-minded VHF/UHF/microwave enthusiasts to fraternize. Those who are just getting interested can chat with more experienced ops to accelerate their learning and gain valuable knowledge. A mini-flea market will also be held.
