[Imc-makerspace] Mitch Altman Visit in Feb/March?

[Stewart Dickson]

Hello, Serge,

Did you say "RF"??!!    RF is like the birth of all geekiness -- guys 
with HAM towers next to their houses.   And the RF über-geeks built 
their own transceivers -- like my grandfather did in 1911.
Do you happen to have any contacts with the local Champaign-area or 
University HAM radio clubs?   I have sent them periodic e-mails, but so 
far no response.  It would be cool if they
could make it to the Mini Maker Faire Saturday, April 14th.

Speaking of RF, the Mesh Wifi Reading Group is on hiatus until the 
summer, but maybe you'd like
to join in when it starts back up.

Thanks for getting in touch!

Cheers,

-Stewart, Host "TechKnowLedge", Thursdays from 8 to 9 am on WRFU-LP FM 
104.5 Urbana
