Congratulations to those who made it happen. XRX ARC made it in the local club listing in QST for the January VHF contest. This was the first time in many years. The goal was simply to qualify for the listing and that goal was achieved. Next goal? Maybe doubling last year's score??

Please also let me know if you can help with Saturday morning equipment/tribander set up or Sunday take down.

I have already contacted several of us to bring specific items (e.g. antennas, rigs, generators, laptops for logging).?

I will be sending out preliminary check list for everyone to consider bringing next Friday, June 14th.

Some News: New Post on Website

 

开云体育

So rather than send a really long email, I have some news that I wanted to share with members.? It is about VHF/UHF digital voice modes, and another method to access our 2m repeater, including DMR > Fusion > DMR.? If you already have a DMR or Fusion capable radio and a hotspot, this could definitely interest you.
It has some background info for those who have not yet delved into the subject.
I hope you take a couple of minutes to peruse it.? The post and links contained within contain applicable info.? I could do a presentation one day if interest is there as well.

We do have a new antenna, but obviously finding a climber at a reasonable cost would be necessary.? Also, our antenna support was thrown together, DX Engineering just came out with some new hardware for tower side mounted antennas.
