The next quarterly meeting will be held at 6:30pm, Tuesday July 25th. Quarterly meetings unless noted otherwise are held at the Kandiyohi Rescue Squad Building located at 213 Lakeland Drive NE, Willmar MN, 56201
There will assistance available for anyone that might need help programming the upcomimg 100hz tone for access to the 146.910- repeater

The Sioux Empire Amateur Radio Club is pleased to announce that we will be brining back our annual swap meet on Saturday, July 15th from 8:00 – 12:00. This year we will be hosting the event at a new location, Westminster Presbyterian Church located at 3801 E. 26th St., Sioux Falls, SD.

Hello members,
In the next 30-60 days we will be enabling a 100hz ctcss tone on the 146.910 repeater in efforts to help cut out or reduce interference and noise.?
Programming the 100hz ctcss tone into your radios now will ensure uninterrupted use of the repeater when the change goes into effect. Having the tone pre programmed into your radio early will not effect use of the .91 before the change happens.?
If you would like help programming the tone into you radios, we will try to help at the next scheduled club meeting at 6:30pm on Tuesday, July 25th located at the Kandiyohi Rescue Squad Building. Address 213 Lakeland Drive SE.

I will also set up a time to help any CERT members with radios that need programming at a future CERT meeting.

The yearlong ARRL Volunteers On the Air event, recognizing the support and contributions of ARRL volunteers, continues. Get on the air and make contacts with as many ARRL volunteers or members as possible. There will be week-long activations of portable W1AW/# stations in all 50 states, and in several US Possessions/Territories. For a schedule of W1AW/# portable operations, see the . Be sure to upload your logs to LoTW and check your score online. Check out the full details at .

ARRL Kids Day Saturday June 17:

Thanks to everyone that came out to the Sibley State Park POTA activation!
There was lots of interest from passing by hikers and families enjoying the park this morning. It was equally as fun explaining ham radio and "what are you doing" questions from curious kids and adults.
The activation was a success as far as activations go by QRP standards (10watts or less). Band conditions were good on the 20 meter band, although intentional QRM was heard.?
14 contacts (10 required for POTA) were made in about an hour and a half of operation.

Amateur radio licensing information with links to the FCC CORES/ULS, Hamstudy.org and ARRL have been added to the OPERATING tab on the??club website.?

My take on it is to just run your readings for all your bands you operate and if you make changes to antenna or new radio redo it so you know where you sit for everyone nearby and just keep a copy on file in case some one makes a complaint.

I’ve read the literature a couple of times and I didn’t think about at the time but I do not recall any mention of mobile radio applications for vehicles. Does anyone know if we are supposed to carry RF exposure calculations in our vehicles?

Provided are two links, the first link will be to the ARRL article outlining the FCC's new ruling regarding amateur radio operators, and the second link is to the ARRL exposure calculator. The RF Exposure calculator makes easy work of determining the minimum safe distance from antennas that are in use.

100% down.

Randy, when I mention to the wife about going to the park for an activation, she said we should just make it a weekend and go camping.

Sounds fun! I'll need a camping day after this spring work is done.

Depending on site setup I could try. I don't have an easily deployable antenna for 40m/80m NVIS. I do have 80m NVIS capabilities at home how ever.

Talk in frequency of 146.580mHz

On Saturday, June 3rd, from 10am to noon, I plan to activate Sibley State Park K-2522 for Parks On The Air. I will be operating QRP at or around 10 watts on either 40, 20 or 17 meters. Anyone interested is more than welcome to show up and join the activation. 73 W0AYE

If you know someone that is licensed or that has just recently received their license, feel free to invite them to the [email protected]
The groups.io is a great platform to ask questions, make announcements, discuss ham radio and ham radio adjacent topics.

Following the nets on the 146.910 MHz and the 147.030 MHz repeaters, I will run a net on the 444.800 MHz 70 cm repeater.? That repeater has a CTCSS (PL) tone of 146.2.? Please check in if you are able to.? Thanks.
