NEXT CLUB MEETING
Our next WARC meeting, Thursday, June 7th, will feature Pete Putnam, KT2B, on High Definition Display Technology Trends
Pete, a 30+ year veteran of the AV industry and a journalist for over 25 years, will talk about significant trends in display and interfacing technology and how these trends will have a direct impact on the world of pro AV…or not! Those trends include organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, hybrid display + data interfaces (Thunderbolt), laser projection, wireless HDMI and Display Port connectivity, AV Bridging, augmented reality (AR) eyewear, and voice and gesture recognition for AV control systems – plus a few surprises.
Pete is the president of ROAM Consulting LLC, currently writes AVent Horizon, a monthly column for Sound & Communications magazine. He’s also a contributor to TV Technology and publishes his own Web site, HDTVexpert.com. He was named InfoComm’s 2008 Instructor of the Year and is a featured speaker at the annual InfoComm conventions.
In addition, this meeting will feature our annual Pizza Night, Update on Field Day preparations and Club Elections.
This is one meeting you do not want to miss.

2 Meter Radios Available on Loan (club members only)
The Warminster Amateur Radio Club has purchased four Vertex Standard 2-meter HT’s that are available for use by members of the club. Each unit is equipped with an alkaline battery pack (you supply the six AA cells), a “rubber ducky” antenna, a cigarette lighter power cord, and the instruction book. Needless to say, the WARC repeater is programmed into the memory, but you can use them on any other 2 meter repeater or simplex frequency. Each unit can deliver up to 5 watts output.
The HT’s are available on a month-by-month basis and have been purchased primarily to help new hams get on the air. However, they may also be used by any club member who is in need of temporary 2-meter radio. They are also available for use by participants in WARC’s public service activities. The only requirements are that you must be a licensed ham and a member of Warminster Amateur Radio Club.
If you would like to borrow one of the VX-150’s, contact Rich Luce, AG3L at ag3l@k3dn.org or at 215-441-8264
