Perfect for another Radio in the Park or Radio Under Sun Shade event! You will find below a brief description of the event's objective and activities: *What is it?* *Here's the recipe:* - take several ham radio stations and antenna systems - add portable power - generators, batteries, solar power - add some experienced hams - include an open invitation to new hams, experienced hams, and anyone else - publish a valley wide talk-in frequency of 146.460 MHz (PL of 77 Hz); if operating HF, 7.178 MHz LSB - and replicate this recipe several times over in the Valley at the same time *What is the objective?* - Engage in as many contacts as possible across the Valley using a VHF simplex frequency of 146.460 MHz while operating off grid power, If possible. *What is the result?* - An excellent opportunity to learn about ham radio and ham radio operators. - A great opportunity to learn about the type of equipment available - portable, mobile, base radios, antennas, coax, cables, solar arrays, solar controllers, and more. - A great opportunity to learn about the importance of basic emergency radio principles. - An opportunity to actually use the radio equipment and speak to local hams and distant hams hundreds or thousands of miles away -- even if you are not a ham! It is a hands-on learning experience that is unequaled. We have had many of these events over the last 10 years and every one of them has been a tremendous success. The hosts of these events have one key objective - to relate the fun, facts, and usefulness of ham radio while exercising emergency communications via simplex and off-grid power. *Where and When? (Mesa, Chandler, Peoria, more)* - More locations are possible and, if they are confirmed, an update notice will be sent out. The event will run from 10 AM (1000) till 2 PM (1400).

Hello Spotters, Each year, the National Weather Service marks the first Saturday in December as Skywarn Recognition Day (SRD). It is a way to formally say "Thank You" to our Skywarn Volunteers. Across the country, many Spotters are also amateur radio operators. A central aspect of SRD is a 24 hour event wherein HAMs come in to our office and try to make as many radio contacts as they can with other HAMs from across the country and the world. The event starts at midnight Greenwich Mean Time/Universal Coordinated Time which is 5 pm Friday (Dec 6). It continues through 5 pm Saturday. If you are interested in volunteering or want to know about the frequencies that will be used, send an email to our HAM radio focal points, Marvin Percha (marvin.percha@...) or Ken Waters (ken.waters@noaa). For additional information, see the website at the link below. https://www.weather.gov/crh/skywarnrecognition Austin Jamison weather.gov/phoenix

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dave Martin (AC7FF) <ac7ff1@...> Date: Mon, Dec 9, 2019, 9:18 AM Subject: [GOTW] Gathering Of the Willing To: <[email protected]> Greetings All, EVQRP will be hosting another Gathering Of the Willing this coming Wednesday evening Dec.11th 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. TRAINING CORNER:. The training session will be held the 3rd week of the GoTW. These are not intended to last hours and we will also have some presenters come in and do a presentation from time to time. Also, we will not be offering any testing session during the 3rd week of the GoTW to accommodate training. LINKS TO FOLLOW: www.n1rwy.org/ http://kg7kwg.us/ http://www.adaw.org/ - This is a news letter that is published monthly from participating clubs. To read the back issues scroll down on the left hand side of the screen and click on Back Issues. I hope to see all of you this coming Wednesday 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 Wednesday evening. Have a safe week and remember to stay radioactive and just get on the air. 73 de Dave AC7FF

We hams like to limp along with favorite apps - what we used to call programs - even on our newer OS machines. Do you need older versions of your favorites? Maybe your old favorite went commercial and you want the original freeware version. I wrote this article a while back and I think some of you may benefit from it. https://toolsntipsbyjoe.blogspot.com/2008/01/ Regards, Joe, N2QOJ
