RAH, Radios At Home Season: 2024

As the Arizona summer returns to remind us what the word "hot" means, it's time once again for "Radios At Home" (RAH) to return. Radios At Home was initially introduced when Radios Under Sun Shade was sidelined due to the COVID pandemic that hit the US in 2020. The idea was to keep us all “radio-active” even though we couldn’t get out to the parks due to public area closures and social distancing requirements.

These days...
Simply stated, it's the same RUSS activities but at home in the comfort of refrigeration (what some of you refer to as air conditioning). It is mostly an individual activity since it is at home but you can certainly invite fellow hams and guests to participate with you. The objective is to continue exercising our stations and skill set on a regular basis despite the Arizona heat (which some of you refer to as inferno). Operating off-grid power is always encouraged.
Here are the details for your calendars:

? Who: Any licensed amateur radio operator directly and / or acting as a control station operator for non-hams.
? What: Log as many contacts as possible and please be courteous to others that wish to make contacts and move to another frequency if you are having an extended QSO.
? When: The Third Saturday of every month, May through September, 10:00 to 14:00 hours.
? Where: 146.460 MHz Simplex (T-Encode/Decode 77 Hz optional), 446.000 MHz and at
7.178 MHz LSB for those with HF stations and privileges.
? Why: The objective is to exercise our stations and our simplex skills while operating off- grid if possible, and to make as many contacts as possible while simulating less-than- optimal communications during emergency situations.

Care to share your contact information?
We encourage those who keep a log of their contacts to email a copy to John KI7PPW at ?ki7ppw@.... That information can then be accessed either through the Queencreekarc.org web page or from John's QRZ.com page. It can be very enlightening to see who can contact who and how far your station can reach. These logs are still new and suggestions for making them better would be appreciated.

Questions or suggestions?
Please feel free to contact John KI7PPW at ki7ppw@...
