APRS build

APRS TRACKER GROUP BUILD – Cory GB Sickles, WA3UVV
We now have a hard date for the group build – Saturday May 10th, starting at 09:00. Our instructor,
Aidan Kern, N3AMK, will physically be in attendance, possibly with some other assistance from fellow WVU
students and members of the WVU ARC.
For those who have reserved spaces, the per-board cost totaled out at just $25. Please bring cash to pay
for the board kits you have ordered. I plan to be at the clubhouse early, to set up the soldering stations. It is
also suggested that you bring your laptop and a spare USB stick, as to load up the programming software. If
you have a preferred set of hand tools that you would prefer to use, then bring them along, as well.
A presentation on APRS and what it can offer the digitally-inclined ham – will be upcoming – as we built
out our APRS infrastructure in SWPA.
Wire snips, wire holders, and small tools from your own work bench would aid in a positive experience.
There is a cost for the kit anticipate less than $40.
