March 2009 Special Interest Group: 10MHz Reference Oscillator Kit building.

This Thursday (5 March) is the March SIG, and we will be building the 10MHz reference oscillator kit as described in Q-Bit. We have a kitset supplied by Tim ZL2RST that will be available on the night, as well as power, soldering irons, freq counter and a spectrum analyser to see the output.

The meeting will be at the Tawa Community Centre, in the AREC room. Supper will be provided, and we will be there from 7:30pm.
