Meeting Date Thursday 8/28/25 @ 7pm
Join us for the in-person meeting of the Fayette County Amateur Radio Club on Thursday 8/28/25 @ 7pm. All are welcome to attend.
The location and time are same as always:
Time: 7pm EDT
Location: Fayette County Emergency Operations Center at 110 Volunteer Way, Fayetteville, GA.
Topic: That Great Big Fun House Mirror in the Sky
Presenter: Jim Farmer, K4BSE
Presenter Bio: Jim was first licensed as KN4BSE (novice class) in 1957, upgrading to General Class (K4BSE) the following year, and he has held the same call since then – he doesn’t want to change calls for fear he won’t be able to remember another. He received the BSEE and MSEE degrees from the University of South Florida in 1967 and 1968 respectively. His 45 year career was mostly in the design of cable TV and fiber optics equipment. He was active in ham radio in the 70s, but went QRT to raise a family and work, returning to ham radio as retirement neared. He is a life Fellow of the IEEE and a life member of SMPTE and SCTE. He published extensively in the cable TV field, with a number of publications in IEEE and several commercial periodicals, and coauthored several books on cable TV. He still writes one column for a quarterly publication, but since he writes under a secret pseudonym, he’d have to kill you if he told you. He has taught the Extra Class license for FCARC and SARA (radio club in Forsyth county). He has one wife, three daughters, seven grandkids and two great grandkids, so he must be really old.
