United We Stand  

Brainerd Area Amateur Radio Club  

Club Membership Meeting on Thursday, October 26, 2006

Lyle KØLR was the speaker of the evening.  Lyle described the Handiham system and its association with Courage Center.  There are "radio camps" in northern Minnesota and California to train disabled people to get licensed as Hams.  For additional information, see http://handiham.org and http://courage.org

Lyle also discussed the origin of the Piconet, which is heard on 3925 KHz USB from 9 to 11 AM Monday through Saturday and 3 to 5 PM Monday through Friday.  Pico Net gets its name from PICON (public interest, convenience or necessity), which is an acronym dating back to the Radio Act of 1927.
