Get ready for an exciting and practical workshop! We'll be building a handy Dummy Load Wattmeter on Saturday, June 14th, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Preston Ridge Community Center, located at:
3655 Preston Ridge Road Suite 100 Alpharetta, GA 30005
Have you ever wanted an easy-to-build, low-cost dummy load wattmeter that can handle up to 150 Watts across a wide range of frequencies? This is your chance! We'll be following the roadmap provided by Bob Fontan's article in the February 2025 QST. NFARL has assembled the Bill of Materials (BOM) and is offering a kit for you to build.
Important: We only have 25 kits available, so don't delay! Participation is on a first-come, first-served basis. Head over to the NFARL Mart now to secure your kit and spot in the workshop!
What to bring to the workshop:
- Soldering iron
- Solder
- Diagonal cutters
- Needle nose pliers
- Small Phillips and flat screwdrivers
- Safety glasses
We will also have a few of the club toolkits available, but bringing your own ensures you'll have what you need.
During the workshop, as the kits are completed, we will load the firmware (including your callsign), test, and calibrate your new dummy load wattmeter.
