After the Suffolk County Radio Club May meeting the membership was delighted to host Ken Neubeck, WB2AMU, for a presentation on 6 meters, a.k.a. The Magic Band. The topic was covered with a PowerPoint slideshow along with some audio clips and recordings of 6 meter activity, contacts and Sporadic-E noise. Tropospheric ducting, Sporadic-E bounce and even double bounce was among some of the information relayed to the club. Ken was animated and expressed his information in an easy to understand and deliberate manner. The presentation was followed up by an in-depth question and answer session where most of the groups was eagerly involved. The 6 meter talk was so greatly anticipated that some non-members were in attendance just for Ken’s presentation. Ken’s reputation certainly precedes him.
Ken was also king enough to bring some old copies of CQ magazine for anyone to take home and was autographing copies of his book for anyone who purchased one at a discounted rate. Along with that Ken gave out free analog voltage test meters to anyone who bought a book. Ken was also nice enough to allow us to publish his slideshow on our Google Workspace for any club members to view who may not have been able to attend.
I want to thank you guys at the club for having me speak! 73 KEN WB2AMU
