August 2020 Tech Night Presentation slides

Brian Garber (WB8AM), Lyle Steinhardt (KE0CZV), and John Westerkamp (W8LRJ) will introduce several types of hotspots including the JumboSpot MMDVM, ZumSpot, and OpenSpot3. Each presenter will demonstrate how to configure the hotspot and connect with DMR Talkgroups, YSF Reflectors, and D-Star. A "Hotspot 101" was presented before the main discussion.

These are open to changes, especially if someone would like to present a different topic.

Other topics I have on the backlog are:
- Soldering techniques (through hole and surface mount)
- Using lab gear (signal generators, oscilloscopes, multimeters, antenna analyzers, etc.)
- How your radio works (meant as a first step to designing your own radio)
- Deep dive into the details of digital modes (at least RTTY, PSK31, and
FT8)
- Building an inexpensive and portable dual-band yagi (meant for satellite
comms)

The clubhouse is located at the former Sugarcreek Elementary School in downtown Bellbrook.
