The August MVUS meeting will be the annual picnic, measurement event and election of officers. The normal monthly meeting at MCL will not be held in August. The picnic will be on Saturday, August 8 starting at about 11 AM at Daun Yeagley’s home. Daun’s GPS and street address are: : 39.506953, -83.862522 1353 Gurneyville Rd Wilmington Oh 45177 https://goo.gl/maps/kNjTJnwyAR6CXzyg8 *Depending on weather we may have to cancel the event.* If it is cancelled we will let you know on the MVUS e-mail list. Tom will not be flame broiling his famous burgers this year. *Please bring your own sandwich to help with keeping the 2 meter separation.* MVUS will provide snacks and drinks (in individual containers). *If you want any testing done at the picnic / Measurement event, contact N8ZM at n8zm@mvus.org <n8zm@mvus.org>. *He needs to know what you want to test and the frequency range. Preamps, antennas, power amps. SWR bridges, power supplies, meters, whatever. Just let Tom know so we can have the right test gear available. Adapters for anything other than N, PL259, or SMA would be helpful. Anything upto 6 GHz is easy above that advanced notice is definitely needed. Bring a couple chairs as well, not to mention a mask. If you need additional details contact Tom Holmes N8ZM at n8zm@mvus.org or Jim Bacher at j.bacher@ieee.org Jim Bacher, WB8VSU j.bacher@ieee.org

But what's Daun's What3Words address? Inquiring minds want to know.

OK, so what IS a " What3Words address"? Never heard of it, so with a definition, we may be able to figure it out. Daun Daun E.

It has a huge compression ratio, though. Plus, it has "social distancing" built in. Just assign all RSVP'ed attendees their own three words.

It's not designed to be geographically "useful" for calculating distances, nearby squares, etc. It's meant to replace street addresses, especially where those addresses don't exist (or aren't consistent). The criteria are that it's easy to remember/convey, it's unique worldwide, it's unambiguous, and can locate areas that are small enough to be useful for addresses in most situations. That said, it's got a lot of problems, mostly the project used is "web mercator" so it can have accuracy problems in areas of extreme elevation change. The biggest issue is that the algorithm used to calculate addresses is proprietary so you need to use their service for lookups. People have published functionally equivalent algorithms and been hit with DMCA takedown notices. I'm candy.cable.dome btw.

I don't know what the definition of What3Words is, but I'd bet that it is a little better than What2Words.
