Amateur Radio at Exeter STEM Fair

Exeter Township School District hosted their annual “Spring in to STEM” fair on April 26, 2018. The purpose of the event is to engage students in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Club members Jon Durand, N8EUL, and Shawn Pauley, W3SMP, attended and hosted an Amateur Radio table. Youth-oriented handouts were made available, and they demonstrated how to receive weather images from NOAA satellites with a home made antenna and an SDR. They also fielded questions from the 700+ in attendance and encouraged those that expressed interest in the hobby to attend the upcoming events and meetings of both PAARC and the Reading Radio Club.
