[1] February 2007 Luncheon
The
Alaska Section of the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers, Inc. will hold its monthly luncheon
11:30 AM to 1:00 PM, Wednesday, February 21st , at the
Sourdough Mining Co. Restaurant, 5200 Juneau Street.
Our
February Luncheon Meeting is to include a presentation on
DC Power System Design for Telecommunications, based on
the book written by Whit Reeve, available from Wiley
Publishing. The text explains how to design direct current
(dc) power systems that operate at nominal voltages of 24
and 48 volts dc, use lead-acid batteries, and are installed
in public network telecommunications systems and other
exclusive-use environments. Rather than train readers to
design systems by rote, the author gives readers the skills
and knowledge to perform systematic analyses to make the
best choices based on several economic, operational,
electrical, and physical considerations.
Whitham
D. Reeve is the President of Reeve Engineers and the author
of numerous books and articles on telecommunications
engineering. Mr. Reeve is the Editor of the IEEE Press
Telecommunications Handbook Series, past member of the IEEE
Press Editorial Board, a Senior Member of the IEEE, and a
Senior and Charter Member of the National Association of
Radio and Telecommunications Engineers.
The meeting is free and open to the public. The cost for a
buffet style lunch is $15 per person for IEEE members or $17
for nonmembers. Please RSVP by Tuesday, February 20th
to Harry
Turtschanow, 729-4057 or e-mail

[6] Golf Tournament
Greetings members,
I am looking for feedback for
an idea of having our own golf tournament to start a new
IEEE scholarship within the University of Alaska system. I
am sure some of you have participated in one of the
tournaments that the local vendors put on and I would follow
that same type of best ball play format. If you are
interested in helping to put together an event such as this
for some time this summer please contact me. Remember that
the section is here to benefit you the members; if you have
any ideas of events or other issues that you feel would give
added benefit to your membership feel free to contact me on
those issues as well.

Turtschanow Jr. -
