NSRC BuilD Club
A team of NSRC members created our very own Build Club devoted to the practice of construction of a variety of ham radio related gear. Shown below are images of some of the kits on the list for what may be built this year. Email Udo Koch (buildclub@ns9rc.org) if you would like to participate in one of these experiences.
Please sign up for the build club. Free Activities will be throught the year in small build groups to support individual needs depending on their skills. You do not have to be a NSRC member to participate but you should be of a minimu age of 12.
We build easy to assemble but useful kits. Some of these kits are created by me, other can be bought from commercial outlets. If you never build anything, no problem . There is a two evening introduction to soldering and kit building. At the second day you build a small kit from the selection featured under “Beginner Kits”'. There is no cost for the evenings apart from the costs for the kits.
The building activities will take place in the Collaboratory in the library. Because we have to limit the number of participants per session to 6, you will have to reserve a slot for the meetings during the year. Select your project and please fill out the form and send it to me to participate.
Build meetings will be the first Wednesday every month by appointment. If needed I can add additional days to the schedule. We do have still openings now.
Solder stations are available at the Collaboratory, but you have to bring your own hand tools. A basic toolset is required. Other tools are optional depending on your project. The assembly instructions are providing a list of needed tools. Other special tools like crimpers, I will bring. You might also invest in a basic multimeter.
To sign up please fill in and submit this form.

Level 2 - Beginner, basic Electonics skills, basic soldering
Level 3 - Medium Electronics skills, good soldering
Level 4 - Advanced electronics skills, good soldering
Level 5 - Expert electronics skills and very good soldering
If you want to build any of the kits but need help, sign up for the build club and participate in a scheduled build event.
