Electricity Explained
Nothing in electronics works without electrons. That is what your electrical utility delivers to your home and office.
The next meeting of the Cedar Creek Amateur (ham) Radio Club explores this world with the General Manager/CEO of Trinity Valley Cooperative, Jerry Boze. How is electricity generated and distributed, what will happen to electricity rates and what about solar and wind? These are some of the subjects Mr. Boze will address along with his engineer.
It will be a most interesting meeting and it is open to the public. It happens at 9 Am on Saturday May 13th at the Mabank Café on Hwy 198 in Mabank.
The club meets the second Saturday of each month there. The meeting starts at 9 AM, but many come early for the breakfast buffet. Anyone interested in technology is welcome.
The Cedar Creek ARC has over forty members from the tri-county area. It maintains a VHF and UHF repeater system that provide hand-held radio coverage to hams in the lake area, and mobile and base coverage throughout the three counties. CCARC participates in the National Weather Service SKYWARN program and the Amateur Radio Emergency Service. The club also provides classes to those wishing to join the ranks of Amateur "ham" Radio.
