General Meeting – March 2026 – The Off-Center Fed Dipole

Please join RWK on Monday March 9th for our General Meeting. 

Spring seems to have sprung and that sets off the clock for the brief few weeks that we have to get outside and work on antennas before it gets too hot. With that in mind, this month we will be covering an antenna that’s been around for a long time but is still not well understood – the Off-Center Fed Dipole. It’s a versatile multi-band antenna that is fairly easy to construct, and works well if properly fed. Come find out about an alternative to the generic dipole antenna!

In-person VE Testing begins at 5:30 and the RWK Social Hour begins at 6pm.  Please enjoy coffee and cookies and chat with other members!  If you have radio questions, please be sure and stop by our Radio Operating position – we’ll try to show you some new things and help you get answers.  At 7pm we will begin our main program. 

As usual, the meeting will be In-Person and the main program will be simulcast on Zoom for those that do not want to attend in-person.  We will also have a recording available on the K5RWK.org website after the meeting is over.

Please wear your RWK Nametag!  We have lots of members and everyone needs a little help in matching callsigns to smiling faces.  If you can’t find (or don’t have) your RWK nametag, we will have blank paper nametags and you can order a replacement for a nominal charge.  I’d like everyone to introduce themselves to at least two members that they haven’t previously met face-to-face!

Meeting Location: St. Barnabas Church, 1220 West Belt Line Road, Richardson TX 75080.  Park in the rear parking lot and enter from the rear.  Click this for the map.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday!
