Visit here to check out some remote sessions: Locally: Contact Chuck Rogers, W7CBR, to get info on the next in-person session in Mesa: Rogers_Charles@..., 602-339-0109 3. Direct to you Beef!

Information: Mike @ 619-500-1959 4. "Radio AT Home", Heidi, K7ZAE, announces "Radio At Home". Details: Hello all!? I am pleased to announce a way to be "radioactive" during the hotter, summer months. We will be holding what will be known as "Radios At Home."? It will begin this weekend, and will be held approximately once a month.? It will be just like the "Radios Under Sun Shade"/"Radios in the Park" that you may have already participated in before.? The only major difference is that you would operate in the air-conditioned comfort of your own home instead of deploying to a park or other outdoor location.? Of course, if you choose to operate mobile or portable, you may do that as well.? The only rule to participate (just as it is during RUSS/RITP) is that one must operate on off-grid power.? That is, you may operate using any source of power besides being plugged into the grid (AC power.)?? The first "Radios At Home" will be this Saturday, May 23rd, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.? The frequencies will also be the same as those which are used for RUSS/RITP.? We will be operating simplex on 146.460 MHz.? You may wish to use the designated PL tone of 77.0, but it is not required (but some participants may not hear you if you do not.)? For HF users, we will be planning on using LSB 7.178 MHz if that is clear.? Of course, you may operate on other frequencies or modes as you wish to make contacts.? The point of this exercise is to continue to use our skills, to make contacts, and to have fun! Hope to hear you on the air this weekend!? - Heidi K7ZAE 5. MESN - Mesa East Stake Net - Monday nights at 8:30 PM, KF7RYX Repeater 448.225 Mhz PL 100 Hz.? Focusing on new users, beginner issues, net participation, emcomm. All licensed amateur radio operators are welcome to join. That's it for this week, until next time, 73, |
