March 14, 2026

The Second Annual LVRAC Antenna Expo will be held this coming Saturday, March 14 at Majestic Park. HF, VHF, and UHF antennas will be on display, and the owners will be available to answer any questions you might have. This will be a great opportunity for you to find out which antenna will work the best for portable and at home. Feel free to bring an antenna to showcase and discuss. Also, Ron, KJ7PAQ will have his magnetic loop antenna available to take on all challengers. Set up your antenna and see if you can kick Ron's butt!

Rudi, K7RAW will be demonstrating the use of Anderson Power Pole connectors from 10:00 until 11:00 that morning. Power pole connectors can provide a very convenient way of organizing your power connections both at home and while operating portable.

Please join us this Saturday at Majestic Park, 9955 W Alexander Rd (right across the street from Lone Mountain) in the big gazebo on the northeast corner of the park for, what should be, a very interesting day. For more information, contact Steve Loomis, K7EAU -- email: railbias@aol.com.
