For the September 2014 meeting program SLAARC member Gary Morgan, WA8TJA, presented the process and resources he uses to design printed-circuit boards and have them manufactured for his electronics projects. Bob, WD8AQX, also brought a project he did some years ago in which he converted a CB radio for 10m use.
