ARL 46 and ARL 56 to AD8Y

Congratulations to our own David AD8Y on receiving the Wittke Award for Undergraduate Teaching! And a very happy birthday, as well – which, as it turns out, he shares with Samuel F. B. Morse. 
We concluded this semester’s classes with a foxhunt, pizza, and appropriately themed cakes.

Antenna Building and Exam Session Tomorrow

Tomorrow we are having an antenna building session tomorrow on the 3^rd floor of the Glennan Building, in the Sears Lab.  At the same time and in the same place we will be having an amateur radio exam session.  We will be starting around 2pm and going to sometime around 4 pm.  All are welcome to join us or just say hi, we will be making a bunch of 2 meter Yagi Uda antennas out of PVC and tape measures.  A 2 meter J-Pole using TV twin-lead will also be attempted.  Wire dipoles may also be making an appearance if there is interest.
