“ASK THE PROS NIGHT”

or as some like to call it “Stump The Chumps”

Ask the Pros night is the place you can bring anything to the table for discussion.

If you have a question or comment about Repeaters..Antennas..Feedline..Test Equipment..Electronic servicing..FCC Rules & Regs..Circuit design or just about anything concerning two-way communications, electronics, computers or Ham Radio in general, we normally have folks on board that have decades of experience, that can answer those questions.

The main objective of the Tek Net is to bring the years of experience to those needing it, without having to go through the trial and errors sometimes associated with DIY situations.

If you think you have what it takes to Stump the Chumps…BRING IT ON !!

Don’t be shy here, like they say on the “NEW HAMS NET”, you cant make a mistake here, unless you don’t hit that PTT switch to be heard.

If you have any suggestions for future topics for the Tek Net, I always want to hear about them.

If you have a photo of your shack or a project your working on and would like to see it displayed here, send the JPG to me and I will include here at the end of the Tek Net page.

Lets see what you’ve been up to.
