July Membership Meeting - July 19, 2024 - 7 PM

 

IT'S TIME

​

Geochron World Clocks have been a standard in Amateur Radio for many years. With new digital modes, time has become even more important. The Geochron mechanical World Clock was the only way to see the Sunrise and Sunset on Earth in real-time, in sync with the Earth’s 23.4-degree axial tilt against the Sun, at the time.   President Reagan presented a Geochron as a gift to Mikhail Gorbachev as an example of American Engineering. These photogenic mechanical world clocks have also appeared in motion pictures like The Hunt for Red October.  In 2018, Geochron created the digital Geochron, with features specifically developed for a Ham Radio audience.

Presenter: Patrick Bolan, KJ7ZSU

 

Our presenter, Patrick Bolan – KJ7ZSU, has been the owner of Geochron since January 1, 2015, recently celebrated his 30th wedding anniversary and recently completed a 48-state tour visiting Geochron owners on his motorcycle.  Patrick had an early career in construction management building Fred Meyer markets and Home Depots, but armed with his M.A. and an M.B.A., has been a small business owner for the last 20 years.

During his presentation, Patrick will dive deep into his early relationship with Geochron, how he became the owner and how the product line has transitioned from mechanical to digital. If you have ever seen the beauty of a Geochron, you will really enjoy this presentation.
