Our next club meeting will be next Tuesday September 12th, 7:00pm at the Howell County EOC. We’ll be discussing fox hunts and hopefully putting one on the calendar. I asked everyone at last month’s meeting to bring their fox hunt equipment, so I hope everyone has given some thought to building an antenna or at least what they might use. If not, come and see what everyone else is engineering!?
We will be doing our next farmers market public relations event on September 23rd. This will be the 4th Saturday in September instead of the 3rd that we normally set up. This is due to an event that will be taking place at the church that will cause an issue for us to set up when we normally would.?
Work on the new UHF repeater continues. We were recently granted a frequency of 444.425 MHz by the Missouri Repeater Council, the tone will be 110.9hz. Bill, KF0BFD and I built a stand off bracket for the antenna a couple weeks ago, so that’s ready to go. Mike, KD0AIZ has been coordinating the installation of the antenna, which we hope to be completed in the next couple weeks. I have tuned the duplexer, and mounted it in a box that will house the duplexer and repeater, and purchased the cables to connect it all together. Next, we start gathering parts to make the UHF links at both 2 meter repeaters.
Exciting things are happening and we hope everyone will get involved!
Eric, KD0CEN
