Reminder: GTALUG January Meeting Tomorrow
by Alan Heighway 10 Jan '22

10 Jan '22

*Speaker:* Chris Sullivan *Topic:* Radio Direction Finding with the Raspberry Pi *Date/time:* 2022-01-11 T19:30:00 *Location:* Virtual - Big Blue Button (link below) *Topic description:* Home-brew pseudo Doppler radio direction finding systems are typically based on discrete components. Much of the hardware complexity can be replaced with a software design, using minimal external components to the Raspberry Pi. This can dramatically lower the cost of implementation, provide additional signal processing capabilities, and provide remote control capabilities that permit the coordination of multiple units for instant triangulation. *We're going to use Big Blue Button for this meeting: * https://blue.lpi.org/b/eva-zjc-gjy-kgl *A*lan *H*eighway <http://heighway.ca/> heighway.ca VA3WAH / VA3YKZ [image: Please consider the environment before printing]

<https://gtalug.org/meeting/2021-11/> # AGM & Round Table Q&A A Round Table Q&A Session is where we take questions from the audience, and the audience discusses and attempts to answer those questions from their own knowledge. It's a great way to meet fellow members of our community and discover the skill sets we each bring to the table. There will be a bit of organizational business, as we hold the Annual General Meeting of GTALUG, which will involve: - A brief financial report for the year - The 2021 Board Elections ## Location We're going to use Zoom for this meeting: **Time:** November 9, 2021 07:30 PM Easter Time **Join Zoom Meeting:** [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81924329473?pwd=MndSWHNaRGNZSUtIeVB0WG1xTkZTQT09]… **Meeting ID:** 819 2432 9473 **Passcode:** 655996 **Find your local number:** [https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kd2rxnbq6D](https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kd2rxnbq6D) ## Schedule * 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation. # Code of Conduct We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing needs, interests and skills.
