[GOTW] Gathering Of the Willing (GoTW)
|
EVQRP will be hosting another Gathering Of the Willing on Thursday evening Jan.30th 17:00 hrs - 22:00 hrs.??We
meet at Desert Mountain Park at the Cottonwood Ramada. The Cottonwood
Ramada is located in the rear of the park across from the baseball
fields and just Southeast of the bathroom building. We will have several
different stations set up running different modes.?The GOTA station is
intended to be used by anyone from Technician to Amateur Extra as a way
for you to get on the air using different modes (Phone, CW, Digital)
with experienced operators. If you have a Technician license, then you
would use the EVQRP Club call of WS7OTA and if your a General or Amateur
Extra, you may use your own call sign or the club call sign, your
choice. You just have to be aware in what portion of the band you may
use if you are a General using your call sign.? If there is a mode that
you would like to see or operate from, please tell the operators of the
stations to show them to you. Our goal is to get you on the air and make
you comfortable with operating and learning about the various modes of
operations and show you the different options that are available to
you.?EVQRP is not intended to be a contest club but rather a way for new
hams to get hands on experience with actual HF equipment with various
modes and antennas. We also like to fellowship with each other and
believe this is where we really learn by sharing different experiences
in amateur radio.
Location:?
I hope to see all of you this coming Thursday evening.
Remember to follow us on Facebook, just search for East Valley QRP
group on Facebook or follow us on GOTW Group.IO. If you know of someone
that hasn't sign up to join the IO group, please give them either my
email address or phone number. If anybody that holds a General license
or higher would like to become a Volunteer Examiner please have them
contact me. I'm always looking for VE's to help with testing sessions.
Remember if you know anyone that is looking to upgrade or take the
Technician test I always have my testing materials at every Park Event
just have them send me an email or call me so I can make sure to have
enough VE's on hand to test. I look forward to seeing all of you this
coming Thursday evening. Have a safe week and remember to stay radioactive and just get on the air.
