N. Michael Scofield (for years the assistant emergency coordinator for the OC Hospital Emergency Comms Group), presented "Frequency Reuse Over Terrain"; using a specified range of frequencies more than once in the same radio system so that the total capacity of the system is increased without increasing its allocated bandwidth. Using the aircraft comm. and nav. VHF frequencies, as well as air traffic control radar frequencies and the AM broadcast band, Michael showed how frequencies could be reused when terrain and distance allow isolation.
Bodo Fritsche - DF8DX was our special guest speaker for February. He was in the US for a short time and agreed to talk at our meeting. Bodo works for Ampegon AG in Switzerland, and showed us how various commercial, industrial, and scientific applications require a lot of RF power (like megawatts in the GHz range).
